Right now, I've pretty much got three molds -- one of which is rather wedding specific, so not much commercial use. John's planning on making me another claddagh one that is more general. I want to get a couple basic bar soap molds (oval and rectangle), and probably a soap loaf. I prefer to work with silicone, as demolding is SO much easier. (Other molds tend to require a trip to the freezer.)
But I do have several scents/looks figured out for the soaps.
1. Rosemary and Goats Milk: Very natural soap. Goat's Milk Soap (Glycerin, Propylene Glycol, Sodium Stearate, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Coconut oil, Sodium Laurate, Sodium Myristate, Triethanolamine, Sodium Cocoate, Purified Water, Goat's Milk, Titanium Dioxide, DMDM Hydantoin), Rosemary.
That is fresh rosemary there... it really gives off a nice aroma. Rosemary seems to carry more strongly than other scents do. I intend to put this soap in oval bar format. It will probably be about 4 to 5 ounces.
2. White Tea and Ginger. This one has the same Goat's Milk base as the Rosemary, but has two fragrances added into it: White Tea and Ginger. The ginger scent is: Fresh ginger notes enhanced by notes of nutmeg, lime, lemon, and black currants. Middle notes of jasmine, base notes of white musk. The White tea scent is: White tea is the principal ingredient. Notes include: Artemisia Leaves, Ambrette, White Pepper, White Tea, Musk, Woody Amber. Phthalate-Free. It's a very unisex scent. This one also has some natural loofah included in it.
This will be another oval bar. I'd leave it like this, except the soap doesn't look very unisex.
3. Butterfly Wings: Another Goat's Milk based product. This one also has fresh lavendar in it. The added fragrance is a very light floral with notes of apple blossom, lily of the valley and rose petals. In addition to Goat's Milk, it has Aloe Vera soap blend added. (Bleached deodorized coconut oil, sodium cocoate, sodium myristate, sodium laurate, sodium stearate, sodium laureth sulfate, glycerin, propylene glycol, sucrose, triethanolamine, aloe vera leaf extracts, water.)
Butterfly wings might end up in the hummingbird mold seen above. That mold produces a 5.5 ounce soap.
4. Ambrosia: Ambrosia is a clear glycerin product. The fragrance is lightly fruity with top notes of tart kiwi, middle notes of lilac and tiger lily, with fresh based notes of pineapples and pears. The soap itself is made up of Coconut oil, sodium cocoate, sodium palmitate, sodium laurate, sodium stearate, glycerin, sodium laureth sulfate, propylene glycol, sucrose, triethanolamine, water. A touch of purple coloring was added to give the soap a fun feel.
I like this one in this mold. It is approximately 3.5 ounces.
5. Monkey Farts: Yes... I know. Crazy name! But the smell is amazingly nice. It would be a great soap for kids. It would either be a regular bar soap, or a more boy friendly bar than is presently seen. It is also glycerine based. The fragrance has top notes of fresh bananas and juicy grapefruit, middle notes of kiwi, juicy bubblegum, and strawberries, and a hint of vanilla as a base note
The color... ah, now THAT is my secret.
6. Tootie Frootie: This will be the same scent as Monkey Farts, only in a Goat's Milk base, and placed in the oval bar mold. (No picture yet.)
7. Goat's Milk & Honey. No pictures of this one. It will be in the rectangular bar mold. Milk and Honey is just that ... with a dash of nutmeg, to give it a little bit of spice
8. Clover-Mint: Goat's Milk soap base. The Clover-Mint is seen in the wedding DIY area. It will be in the rectangular bar mold.
I really like the ones that have a little bit of something added, whether it is an herb or a flower or some loofah.
