Just for some fun

This is my 3rd batch, a blend of peppermint, vanilla and cocoa

This soap ball and bar were made from left overs of the above batch... already scented vanilla, so i threw in some lavendar. Smells amazing!

And from my second batch, cloven orange. I think I mixed too much ground clove into the clove portion, as it decided not to stick to the actual soap bar. I made balls out of that left over gunk.

The brown areas are the little bit of the clove soap that did stick. Most srsly did not.

I did batch #4 last night - lavendar/anise. I used 20% cocoa butter, 25% coconut butter, 35 olive pomace, 15% palm and 5% castor. I know im supposed to mould for 24 hours, but ti was rock hard already so I cut it a little bit ago. I'm in love with this recipe :p
Pics when I have some sunlight, it's pouring here so was dark all day :(

Is cocoa butter and coconut butter two different things? Sorry if this is a really silly question.... I have only ever heard of cocoa butter and coconut OIL?
 
I mean coconut oil :p Sometimes my fingers type faster than my brain can sort it's thoughts, sorry for the confusion!

Here's the new soap! (sorry, icky raindy day pics :( )
