Mine is Honey blossom from the Coss book. Although I leave out the essential oils and put in honey and oatmeal instead. It's lovely and rich, is quick to trace and fairly hard so it doesn't all vanish after one bath!
What's yours? _________________ Aqui, T and Baby Jack!
I found my last batch of honey and oatmeal soap did look good enough to eat - it had swirls of honey through it and looked rather like nougat. It also smelled slightly of honey, which I've never had before with honey soaps (I nearly always make honey soap - especially as I can't use any essential oils right now). But the beeswax element stops you from wanted to eat it.
Leonie - I must try that sunflower and calendula one next time. I had a good look at it when I was picking out a recipe at the weekend, but we didn't have any sunflower oil. I've ordered some now. And calendula's soothing and healing, so it'll be good for baby! _________________ Aqui, T and Baby Jack!
Ok, I must be odd... My lump of beeswax smells and looks like I could just bite a huge chunk out of it...
Fortunately, I do have some sense
Absolutely not Haize - I have mine in here in my study and it does look and smell fantastic - like a summers day - but when the quantity that you put in the soap and the other components especially the lye - do reduce the 'wanting to eat it' and of course it tastes yuk

I liked the sunflower and calendula one too, it's pretty with the little slithers of dried calendula petals.
