Hold the phone! No added scent? How boring! What's the point? Have you lost your mind?
Who says unscented soap needs to be boring? Not us! This is a wonderful opportunity to let the wonderful ingredients take center stage. Does triple infused Chamomile Oil sound boring? Making our Chamomile soap with triple infused oil and chamomile tea lends a complex all-natural scent that is not overpowering in the least.
Some infusions are used in soap made with Essential Oils to add that special je ne sais quoi that makes the bars irresistible. Other infusions are made into salves and balms like our ever-popular Arnica Balm for sore muscles.
Once or twice a year I stock up on botanicals to infuse into organic olive oil. Those oils are used in special limited edition soap, as candle anointing oil, in salves and other beauty products. It all starts with the botanicals! Below is the result of today's start.
From left to right, Arnica Flowers, Calendula Petals, Catnip, Cedar Tips, Chamomile, Comfrey Leaf, Eucalyptus Leaf, Lavender Buds, Lemon Balm, Lemongrass, Spearmint and Rosemary.
Tomorrow I will begin spotlighting each of the infusions and what they are used in.
