Buzz Off & Patchouli Soap

Hello Soapie Fans,

I have two new beauties to show you. My mom thinks I've gone a little loopey (that isn't news to me) because I get so excited about soap.  Let's see I dream about it, get like a little girl when describing my latest batch, sit and contemplate new designs, custom blend scent combo's (ever since I took my perfume course I have a renewed addiction to blending EO's). When I make a new batch of soap I sometimes get up in the middle of the night to check on it then bound out of bed the next morning to check on it.  I love all aspects of the products I make (sprays, perfumes, lotions, butters, soy candles) but soap is so much more design orientated.

Two years ago I made a bug soap that went over well but then it sold out and I forgot all about it.  Then  I saw Jenora's post about bug soap awhile back and decided to make another batch.

Here is the Bug soap freshly poured:

I had fun colouring this one and playing with the swirly pattern.

I added Neem Oil known as an organic insecticide. It relieves dry skin, soothes itchiness, redness and irritation and improves general skin health and immunity, combating bacterial infections.  To add a bit of luxury I added Cocoa butter known to soften and moisturize the skin.

I've had so many requests for Patchouli soap that I knew I had to whip up a batch and fast.  I made a glycerin Patchouli bar using Patchouli essential oil.

While I making this bar I had a different design idea but the soap had a mind of it's own.

Have a great week-end.
