Soap Makers Help!

For those wanting a thread on swapping soap recipes, I have started one with my favorite white bar. You can find the thread at https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=1826645#p1826645

I'm going to be making up gift bowls to put on Etsy. The lighting isn't good but these will give you an idea. Tomorrow I will be taking better pics. Please tell me what you think.

They are in a glass decorative bowl with 3 different shades of green wash cloths.

Hey Backyard Buddies.... For your floral soap...
What is the name of your church garden? Could that be incorporated?
What about the "Garden of Eden"?

hee hee. That's cute! The garden is named after a long time priest who served the community and advocated for sustainable living. His name was Gordon and thus the garden is named Gordon's Garden.

Here's a picture of the new soap. I colored it with turmeric, which is the source of the speckles you're seeing.

My DH actually put one of them together lol
I hope they do all right when I list them later today. I'm going to weigh all the soaps together and see how much it ends up being. I'll only list the 2 of them for now to see how it goes.

I saw the post about using beer in a hair soap... sounded great...

What about using Pumpkin Ale?? It has the qualities of beer and the spicy scent of pumpkin plus the pretty color....

It's usually a seasonal Ale but I'm hoping to find some at one of the liquor barns.... Any thoughts??

Another question: in the coffee soap, could you use both used grounds at trace and instant coffee added to goat's milk for the water???

Do you think that would work??

I really want the softness from the oil and goat's milk but the odor control of the coffee... it would seem it would come out like a latte....

Never heard of Pumpkin Ale and haven't made a cofffee soap...both sound intriguing

I was thinking of making a kitchen soap with coffe in it. I would have to get coffee from my in-laws since we don't drink any. lol It will be like calling and asking for a cup of sugar but instead it will be coffee.
