so.. this is my grungy grubby soap. i dunno what it reminds me of but i love it. i have yet to cut it.. but i think its gonna be a favorite of mine. i was gonna do two batches today, one all natural and one with fragrance oil, at the last minute, i decided to just throw caution to the wind and mix it all up. this batch is scented with spearmint essential oil and nag champa fragrance oil. not exactly a mix youd think to put together, but think.......... hippie chewing wrigleys. lol. hippie? hippy? whatevah. mixed in some earthy things like icelandic moss, irish moss, atlantic kelp powder.. gotta go easy on that one tho or you end up with a super good for you bar of soap that unfortunately smells like youre scrubbing yourself with dead fish. -- not kidding...dont ask me how i know, ill need therapy if i think about it too much. also in here, is some ground up lime peel and a little bit of cocoa powder just to give it that extra lil grubbiness. seperated the batch into 3, one part is the champa, moss powders.. one part kelp spearmint, and part i left plain with just the lime peel in it.. put all three parts in kinda thick so they would stay a bit separate and then swirled em together with a spatula so they didnt get a chance to fully mix together. then i topped off the top with tiny chunks of nag champa bits of scraps from my "dig" batch. .....im kinda psyched about this one.. cant wait to try it out...also used sweet almond oil in it, which i havent done yet, omitted the butters i typically use and put a bit of beeswax in there. hmm.. a new one for me :)
im sure ill be posting pics of the finished product asap!
