That’s what I was thinking about all day today.\u00a0 First I fiddled with the settings on the Etsy shop and moved on to ‘what should I make next?’<\/p>\n
The only oatmeal-honey soap I have left is from an old tallow batch and I’d like to make a non-tallow version to sell. Cocoa butter would be a good choice and I reviewed my notes about how much honey and oatmeal to use. The hard question: should I add a fragrance or not?\u00a0 Unscented, the oats and honey give the cured soap a faint graham-cracker smell that I like.\u00a0 There is also a very popular fragrance called “oatmeal, milk and honey” that I know is a big seller and I have enough on hand for a batch.\u00a0 The problem: I don’t really care for it.\u00a0 It’s a very almond-vanilla-foodie smell and just a bit too heavy and sweet for my tastes.\u00a0 Leave it out?\u00a0 Use it but go lightly?\u00a0 \u00a0I haven’t decided but I’ll need to make up my mind before Sunday.<\/p>\n
What else?\u00a0 The oatmeal reminded me that should make another exfoliating soap and my household has been after me to make a coffee soap. It will turn dark anyway so this might be a good chance to try my vanillin powder to see if any of the vanilla scent comes through. Add some cocoa powder and a bit of orange essential oil. This is starting to sound more like a cake than soap.<\/p>\n
