Lemon Myrtle and Calendula Soap Bar

I am so happy to say that I have a lemon myrtle range of bar soaps and liquid soap. I am so pleased  with my finished Lemon Myrtle and Calendula soap bar! It smells wonderful and looks great. The fragrance of Australian Lemon Myrtle blended with Calendula from my own garden is a perfect combination in this bar soap. It gave me a lot of pleasure to plant and harvest my own Calendula for my soap. 

I have also planted lemon verbena, lemon myrtle, lavender and roses to use in my Spring and Summer soaps. It looks like it is going to be a fun season for soap making!

I  completed making a Lemon Myrtle Liquid soap which I think is amazing. Not only does it smell great..it feels amazing on my skin! I didn't realise how different liquid soap felt to the detergent based hand washes until I made my own liquid soap. The difference can be felt immediately! The texture is slippery, silky and sudsy all at the same time. I really like this liquid soap...but a caution to any budding liquid soap makers...Potassium Hydroxide is hard to come by. My nearest stockist is about 12 hours drive away! As it can't be shipped by post in Australia...it is very hard to get. 

Both these soaps are available for purchase from my Etsy store. I will place the links here for you:)
