Testing out some new Fragrance Oil Samples

I just got some fragrance oil samples from a new supplier and quickly made them into soap to see how each will work. I got some unusual scents (like Bacon –  this was a request from my sister who wants gifts for some friends –  or Absinthe – the first Absinthe sold in in the US after it was made legal was in my hometown of Alameda, CA) but also some scents that I carry such as Cucumber-Melon, Bergamot & Mandarin, Champagne, Red Wine, and the 2 new ones to try – Coconut and Bay Rum.

I made a master batch of soap and then portioned it into my round and heart individual molds to see what they would do and how they will act. They are still in the mold and I will take them out tomorrow and take photos. Can’t wait to see how they smell!

Chocolate Soap in the mold

I love all things chocolate so making a Chocolate Handmade Soap was a no brainer for me.  It took some trial and error before I found a recipe that I was happy with, but once I did there was no stopping me! I love the smell of the soap when I make it. It has cocoa butter and cocoa powder in it to give it the smell of chocolate without using any fragrance oil added to it. That makes this soap 100% natural!

I love giving people a bar of Chocolate Handmade Soap with a bar of Vanilla Handmade Soap for a gift. It’s a wonderful combination! A bar of Red Wine Handmade Soap also makes a good pair with the Chocolate Handmade Soap.

Be on the lookout next week for a post about gift packages available for Valentine’s Day that will contain Chocolate Handmade Soap.
