Well I haven't been able to get access to the kitchen of late but managed to get up very early on Saturday morning, when everyone else was still asleep, and I had the whole kitchen to mess around in! Yahoooo!
I ran a little poll on
Facebook during last week asking what would people like to see me make next and Lime Basil and Mandarin came in with the most votes! So, never one to disappoint, I duly went ahead and soaped it.
The fragrance is described as a delightful combination of green citrus fresh limes and zesty mandarins leading to herbal notes of basil with warm accord of precious woods and amber - it is a wonderfully fresh, zesty scent and I personally think it's very unisex (my hubby ADORES it and wanted one for himself!).
I made this with Golden Olive Oil because of it's excellent skin loving qualities, Pure Silk & Cocoa Butter - it is highly skin conditioning and will have lovely bubbles initially leading to a very creamy lather which will feel like lotion on your skin.
I wanted to try out an In The Pot Swirl and used an orange and green mica swirled into a white base. The swirl worked really well I think - I just love it!
So ... I duly present to you ... Lime Basil & Mandarin Silk Soap:
Glistening Tops
A stack of soap

Soap tops with lovely swirls
Soap slices all lined up
Lots of lovely swirled glisteny soap!
I really hope you liked the pictures - if you are interested in purchasing, the soap will be fully cured by Monday 30 May and will be on the
site then.
