Lemon Detox Soap

I need a new camera...BADLY

So I'm trying to slowly incorporate more "natural" soaps into my lineup, and by natural, I mean no synthetic fragrances or colorings. Here's my latest creation, Lemon Detox. There is virtually no fragrance in this soap, and it's colored naturally-with lemon juice and lemon peel. I used lemon-infused distilled water as my liquid, then I used the juice and pulp of one lemon to lightly scent and color the soap. You can still see bits of the grated peel in select bars. The wavy brown lines are actually rhassoul clay-that's the detox.

Lemon is a natural astringent and is so uplifting. Along with lime, it's my favorite citrus fruit (lemon pound cake, lemon squares, Mike's Hard Lemonade...) Rhassoul clay is purported (love that word!) to be a natural miracle worker for skin-detoxifying, exfoliating, smoothing, and clarifying. I'm such an impatient soap maker-I used a piece of this one in the shower this morning-LOVES IT! It actually won't be ready for sale for another few weeks...

Passion's Promise Soap

Here's my latest cold processed soap: Passion's Promise. That name just came to me out of the blue. It was originally called something else, but I'm really trying to tone the names down a bit. This one's scented in a very "grown up" blend of sandalwood and amber-LOVES IT! It's subtle, yet alluring, and I've got a lot going on as far as the colors go. It's yellow, red, purple, and green. When I inhaled this fragrance, I just saw wild, vivid, lusty things happening, and I wanted the look of the soap to reflect that.

It's also one of the biggest bars I've ever made. Each one is about 6.5 oz or more. I'm not thrilled with the soda ash that formed on top of some of the bars, but I'll just buff those away before listing them. I'm really anal about that...These should be ready in another 2 weeks:)
