Second batch for this one. Made with 100% pure essential oils. Peppermint, spearmint, tea trea, listea and rosemary. The white portion has white jojoba beads for serious exfoliation. Love the invigorating feeling on my feet!

Looks very nice, and I like your mold! Did you make the mold yourself?
 
OH WOW.. that is beautiful! I love the blue and I love the design on top.

I have a plastic mold just like that (but its white) and I find that my soap sticks to the side and I have pulled too hard and pulled out part of the side of my soap. AND.. it is kind of warped now. IF I ever use it again I am going to line it w/ parchment paper.

The soap sticks to the sides of this mold too but I have an easy solution to that. Pop it in the oven on the lowest temp for 5-10 minutes and it slips out easily! I dont have a problem now. It sucks to have to do it this way but its worth it to use this awesome mold.
 
Is the top done by making a figure 8 swril pattern?
Yes. I used a bamboo skewer. As an afterthought, I wonder if I should have pushed the skewer all the way to the bottom and did a figure 8 through the whole loaf and not just on top. I wonder what that would look like. Oh well, I like the two tone on this one :)

That would be pretty! Well, maybe next time. Also you could do a horizontal hanger swirl back and forth to drag the colors together.

I have yet to try the hanger swirl. Theres so much I havent tried and still want to do!
 
I love this! That aquamarine color is perfect. Do you have someone else pour with you at the same time to get the 2 tone? Do you sell these?

Thank you! Nope, I do it myself. I just tip the mold and make sure i am at a decent trace so its not too runny. I plan on selling them either directly or on Etsy (soon) and at a few local shops. Right now I am trying to duplicate successful and popular batches so I have enough inventory to go around. My molds only give me 5 bars at a time lol.

oh ya, and if i still have fridays off come summer, I plan on farmers markets too!
