Posted this in the wrong place yeasterday, so adding it in here instead.
HP soap from yesterday morning. I decided to call it Ginger Kick. Embeds are CP embeds I made a while back, just squeezed them into the rapidly hardening HP surface.
For scent I used a lemon-and-ginger oil, which is made from lemon essential oil (not folded), some fine lemonzest from 1 lemon, and fresh, ground up ginger.
The mix was blended last week, so it smelled absolutely lovely after letting it sit.
Fresh ginger + lemonzest separated in the jar and settled on the bottom. That made it easy to use a syringe and suck up the lemon oil on top. The ginger had left the lemon smelling of spicy ginger, it was delish.
I used the ginger-juice beneath the oil as a part of my water, after squeezing the living daylight out of the mix with a cheesecloth, as I didn`t want the fibre to be in the soap (will try that next time, just to see how it feels. Anyone tried it btw??)
The scent of the soap is fresh, soft and spicy. Really, really pleased, will use that combo again for sure. The soap lathers like crazy, I am loving lard more and more!!<3
Well see how the scent lingers after 8 weeks, as I feel 4-6 weeks on HP isn`t enough.
I used a mix of lard, coconut and castor (80/15/5)
