Absinthe & Patchouli Lavender Soaps

I made two new soaps - Absinthe and Patchouli Lavender. The first one, Absinthe, actually surprised me. I wasn't sure I was really going to like but it smells awesome! It is an essential oil blend of Anise, Litsea Cubeba, Rosemary Verbonne, Dalmation Sage and Palmarosa.

I was trying something new with this soap and the Patchouli Lavender. I was trying to get a layer of blue on top of the Absinthe and a layer of gray on top of the Patchouli Lavender. I guess I should have waited for the bottom layer to set-up longer before I poured the top color. I was afraid that the layers would separate on me. Oh, well, I kind of like how they turned out. Especially the Absinthe - very funky looking!

The Patchouli Lavender is an essential oil blend of Patchouli and Lavender essential oils. I have had a lot of requests for this blend. Now I just need to find some nice artwork to use on the labels. I am thinking of one by John Waterhouse for the Absinthe and am not sure about the Patchouli Lavender.

Ingredients for the soaps: Organic Olive, Coconut, Palm, Palm Kernel, Hemp, (Macadamia in the Patchouli Lavender and Avocado in the Absinthe), Babassu & Castor, Organic Fair Trade Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter, Water, Coconut Milk and Colorant (oxides).
