Not sure what to call this one but it has my triple infusion that I love with my 3 fav. plants. I do 60% calendula, and 20% each plantain and chamomile.
All 3 were also pureed and added to the soap.. I don't care for big pieces in my stuff so likely won't in my soap.

It's 90% EVOO 5% CO and 5% Castor for some bubbles. I'm trying to dodge some slime. lol
Also had a good amount of buttermilk and a bit of coconut milk powder for a creamy color. Just 1/2 tsp Cajeput Organic EO that goes nice with the calendula scent.

I used up almost all my infused oil so had to start a new batch. I just love how pretty it always is and it's one of my favorite scents.. Love calendula. This has all 3 plants and I kick start it for a full day on the stove warmed and then turned off.. then it goes to large jars for 6 weeks. :) I do about 3-4 gallons at a time.

Love it!!! Beautiful! I love calendula soap. I just may have to whip up a batch this weekend since I gave all of mine away. I have some chamomile soap (OO infused) that I use as face soap and from the reviews I've gotten from all my friends, it's a hit.
 
Thank you.. although I am SUCH a dunce. I didn't think about the milk issue and researching if it I could get burning from powder! It's gelling right now and a glossy medium dark brown color.
Goodness! How could I not think of that.

Wahoo.. Nevermind.. Threw that baby in the fridge and it went back to even lighter than when made. yay!
