In Italy we call "Macchia" the kind of greens that are along the coasts, they are very common with plenty of flavoures and aromas. It is composed by thyme, rosemary, sage, juniper, oregano, all green like that.

And we took inspiration (with my wife) to make this gentle and rich soap.
Made with my own made extravirgin olive oil. I like to make it usually in CP.


* 75% Extra virgin Olive oil
* 15% Coconut Oil
* 5% Castor Oil
* 5% Wheat Germ oil added at trace.

I usually make a 6% lye discount.
At trace for a 1000gr of oils I added 20gr of rosemary eo, 1 tbsp of thyme eo, with a full tbsp of rice starch, 3 tbsp of grounded dry rosemary, thyme, sage and oregano. and the wheat germ oil.

thank you.
I love it too!
I try to not add any colourants in my soaps and this colour rocks IMO.

Cheers
