Fantasy Soap

[Traumabrew]

Ok, so I got you to open this thread now get your thoughts pure. Its not that type of fantasy. LOL

I am asking people to help me with FO/EO and soap ingredients for a line of soap I want to make. I want to make soaps based on fantasy, sci-fi, dungeons and dragons, video games, etc.

I was thinking of enchanted forests, dragons, space/sci-fi, etc. But there are not really a lot of FO that I have found that are aimed at this genre.

Any ideas would be appreciated

I think with a name and color scheme, any fragrance could work, especially one that is not instantly identifiable. Meaning that your vanilla scented soap is going to evoke vanilla, no matter what.

Dragon's blood is an obvious one!
Dungeon Crawl - something earthy and/or smoky -maybe Dirt FO blended with something?
Copper, Silver, Gold, Platinum - use colored micas.
Dwarven Ale or maybe Local Tavern - lots of beer scents.

I'd say for the dragon oriented one, dragon's blood is a definite must. Maybe some other spicy sort of scent (which means you'll have LOTS of fun with acceleration, and maybe overheating... fire breathing, right?).

Space/sci-fi brings to mind clean scents with a hint of disinfectant. Lavender, maybe with a touch of camphor or eucalyptus. Cool, almost clinical sorts of scents (you gotta be a serious neat freak in a space ship).

Enchanted forest is easy. Earthy, evergreen, with some grassy notes and floral notes.

I'd love to see a 'dragon's hoard' soap, gold rounds with hints of jewel tones (maybe jewel embeds?) and scented with something musky and smoky.

And yes, your thread WAS exactly the type of fantasy that immediately sprang to MY mind.

With the number of gamers and movie buffs on this forum, I reckon you are going to get a lot of suggestions!

My take would be to go the woody/herbal/slightly floral angle, to emulate the forest setting for the D&D side.

How about peppermint/eucalyptus/menthol for the cold of space and steel

You guys have great ideas.

I found a small skull ice mold, makes 1 1/2 inch "ice cubes" shaped like a skull. I was thinking of making them as embeds and then inserting into clear M&P soup. Can I use CP soap as the embeds into clear M&P?

For a pirate soap, would a sea/ocean FO be bhetter or should I use a rum and tobacco scent?

I'd reeeeally like dragon egg silicone molds. I can't find any that are big enough for 4-5oz soaps. Big D20 molds would be pretty sweet too.

Besides DB I make one called Mystic Dragon which is a mix of Egyptian Dragon, DB and Sandalwood

I make "Electrum" for our gaming group; a delicate gold (electrum is, traditionally, anything from white gold to green to pale yellow to medium yellow, and ranges from around 20% to 80% gold). Usually in simple rounds or ovals to simulate (really large!) coinage.

It's such a unique word to specialty coinage and D&D that it goes over well.

I tend to use a bright lemon scent, but anything that won't discolor would go well.

There's not a lot of fantasy soap out there - at least realistic, well done, usable forms of it. So I think you can really kind of set a standard and make your own definition of what fo/eo goes with what.

Don't forget about the classics like The Legend of Zelda and even a Mario soap!

Oh cool! I should've known to check Etsy. Have you tried them out yet? If so - how did you find them? And how much can they hold?

If you can make a mold from an object, I can set you up with a Game of Thrones style dragon egg in whatever size you want.

Oh boy, that's pretty tempting. I'll have to do a bit of research on mold-making.

I really like fantasy products that evoke a certain time, place, etc that is meaningful for fans. Like "Lallybroch" or "Sassenach" soaps for Outlander fans, "Winter is coming" for GOT fans, "Butterbeer" for HP fans, or "Shire Soap" for LOTR fans.

I just saw Sorting Hat bathbombs on Etsy. I think the tub turns the color of your chosen house, which would be so cool to have as a kid! I think you could probably do something similar with soap, like a hidden embed.

Kind of want to buy all these products now.

Sorting Hat bath-bombs is genius! I agree, I'd totally buy all of these things. I'll need to track down a good Butterbeer FO now!

Oooh - are you making these? What is the egg made of?

I would do both. I think a rum and tobacco scent is more piratey, but doesn't have the broad appeal of a sea ocean scent.

Depending your crowd, an Ale & W****s bar could be a seller.

Ale and Ladies of Negotiable Affection?

I use PLA filament for most of my prints, though I do still have some ABS for specialty jobs (very limited color selection in ABS). As a bonus, the egg is also a container so after you make your mold(s) from it, you can use it to keep stuff in. Just had a thought. Wonder if JoeyG might be able to make molds from the egg? Either develop as a production run, or as a custom order. Might be worth asking him.

Check out his facebook page, he already has some. I'm not sure of the scale though (no pun intended).

It was one of my requests when he ran the mold contests here, so I'd be pretty thrilled if he actually made them! I'll have to go take a look.

I have bought silicone to make molds. I am going to try a small test mold. I am going to use a set of D&D dice and make a mold from them to create soap dice (cant really use for gaming d/t them not being balanced).

Fantasy themed soap should be a monthly contest theme if it has not been done already.
