A long, long time ago I used to make soap.  I remember it being fiddly and messy.  Upon reading this post at Mummabare’s Blog I was inspired to give it a go.  I saved two rice milk cartons and bought some melt and pour soap base from eBay.

The peach soap was made from opaque base, bergamont essential oil, yellow and red food dyes.  It is very calming.  The green soap was made from clear base, lemon myrtle essential oil, yellow and blue food dyes.  It is so refreshing.  I love how they have such different qualities.  Each cake is wrapped in cellophane to stop it from sweating - glycerin is a humectant.
The process of making the soap was incredibly easy, quick and not-too-messy.  I’m almost ready to move on to a more complicated method…  I have a book here somewhere…
