Soap Course Module 2

This second soap is made of olive oil, palm oil, coconut oil, beeswax and avocado oil. The second module went through fragrancing soaps and I made a blend of lemon, mandarin, lavender and rosemary essential oils.


This is a very hard bar, probably due to the beeswax, and means that it is much longer-lasting than the previous soap. It was moisturising but possibly not as much as I expected when reading about avocado oil and comparing it to my first soap. The essential oils smelt gorgeous while they were curing but have really faded now it is a couple of months old. Maybe it could've done with a base note in the blend (maybe some neroli?) or maybe I should've packaged it up a bit faster. Oh well, learnt for next time.
