My latest batch is scented with rosemary mint, which is one of my favorite fragrances. It always seems to make me feel good when I smell it. I decided to go for simple and elegant and keep it a creamy off-white with clay and mica. I sprinkled in some dill weed to give it that herbal look. I also used one of my favorite molds for salt bars. This shape seems to fit in my hand well. Now I just have wait for these to cure. I think that's the hardest part about making soap!
If you're really bored you can watch my video of me making these!
I love salt bars, too. I've been stuck on a grapefruit scent lately, but rosemary mint sounds wonderful! ...now for the long, long cure...
ReplyDeleteOoh, I love grapefruit, but haven't bought any! I'm too scared they'll be too tart. I hate the long cure. My energy ones have a long way to go.
DeleteSalt bars can be so much fun to make, even if you have to wait for that long cure time. I think yours look great, Milla!
ReplyDeleteI love salt bars too. They lat so long !
ReplyDeleteMy favourite scent is also grapefruit combined with lemon eo, but yours sounds also nice!
Thanks for the video, Milla!
Wonderful! I have lots of rosemary bushes in my back yard, so I have to try this. How long was your cure time?
ReplyDeleteThank you! I think I have enough salt bars for awhile and hope to cure them until summer, but I use them after 6 weeks and test them over time. This soap ended up turning a bit tan and the rosemary isn't as green anymore.
