This soap contains olive oil, palm oil, coconut oil, beeswax and the wonderfully moisturising sweet almond oil and shea butter. This soap is also superfatted. That means that more oil is added than can react with the lye leaving you with a soap that is extra-moisturising. For the colour I used spirulina which is a natural colourant with a blue-green colour. When it came out of the mould it was a nice mid green colour. I should've probably stored it in a darker place when it was curing as it was a very light green at the end of the 4 weeks. Another month on.... Well you can see here :( Live and learn.
I had high hopes for the texture of the soap of this one. I love shea butter as a moisturiser and it definitely makes my skin nice and soft but it possibly isn't bubbly enough for me (it has a very creamy lather).
What I do really love about this soap is the smell. It is a blend of jasmine, mandarin and benzoin (a beautiful smelling tree resin). I was really pleased with how well the fragrance has stuck. Even after a couple months of poor storage you can still get the lovely jasmine especially when you use it.
Note to self - store properly and package it up after curing!!!!
