I’m officially out of soap making oils. I have about 4 oz of olive oil, 6oz of coconut oil, and 8 oz of palm kernel oil left. That aint enough to gag a maggot let alone make a batch of soap! I did make a batch last week that I just got around to cutting, and I am most disappointed-not in the soap, but myself for not reading the stupid ingredients! What I saw was orange and honey. I totally missed the blossom in the name Orange Blossom Honey. I thought this soap would be sweet and fruity and colorful, but what I got was floral, earthy, and brown! The description clearly said will discolor to a medium brown, but no, I didn’t read that with my one-track mind! I had big plans for this soap! I colored the bottom layer orange and let it set for about 10 minutes while I colored the top layer yellow. Once I spread that on top, I stuck orange, glycerin soap wedges all throughout to give it a little flavor. Now they look like shark fins or devils’ horns.
It doesn’t smell bad though. It’s just when you have your heart set on something, and it doesn’t turn out the way you want it to, you’re life is temporarily ruined. So let’s recount the number of brown soaps I have:
Chai Tea Soap
Black Currant & Nectarine Soap
Chocolate Fantasy Soap
Orange Blossom Honey Soap
Maybe I’ll do a basket and offer these as a package. You can never have enough brown soap, right?
