Yes folks, after trying out lots and lots of different recipes as well as trying to source a good sustainable supply of unrefined Palm oil things have moved on. I have hit on a recipe that I am really thrilled with. It uses lots more olive oil so, while that is great for your skin, it does mean the soap is a lot softer getting it out of the mold and cutting it up, in fact it was really sticky and I did have to force myself to keep going. 3 weeks later it is already lovely and hard, a gorgeous golden colour and it smells wonderful. I just hope the scent lasts as its citrus based, I used lemongrass, sweet orange and grapefruit essential oils, together they are fab.
I have used full fat, really fresh local goats milk from my favorite supplier
Norsworthy Dairy Goats http://norsworthydairygoats.blogspot.com/ and that has just added to the wonderful creamyness of this soap. It really is great and while I will still be looking for a good source of sustainable palm oil the rush is over. If customers like this soap I think I will slowly change all my range to this blend.
The soap will be ready for sale soon and up on the website within a week or so.
