Honey Almond Soap Cut

Recently I showed you loaves of Honey Almond soap from scratch. 
If you missed that post, here it is.
See how light the color of the above soap loaf is?
 
Since then the loaves have been cut.
 
One Batch Just After the Cut.
 
Another Batch Just After Being Cut
 
A Few Days After the Cut
 
As the soap continues to cure,
The inside color will match the outside.
The fragrance oil causes the soap to darken over time.
 
The soap on the left has a pattern embedded on the top.
The soap on the right has a thin line of cocoa powder in it.
I hope the line of cocoa powder still shows up.
Even after the soap fully darkens.
 
The soap has cured and is ready to be enjoyed.
It still smells wonderful!
The Honey Almond scent is staying nice and strong.
 
 Thanks for reading!

Honey Almond Soap

When I first smelled this fragrance, I was not a fan.
But it grew on me.
Out of the bottle, it’s not impressive.
It’s very strong.

Then I made lotion bars with it.
The scent became very appealing!
Then I made some wax melts with it.
Amazing!
A friend requested soap from it.
I was eager to dig in.
I made a double batch.
One loaf has a dark cocoa line in it.
The other loaf has a honeycomb pattern on top.
If you are a soap maker,
you might notice that the soap was at heavy trace
when I smushed it into the molds.
It was the consistency of cookie dough!
If you’re not a soap maker,
the way to tell is by the little spaces or holes in the soap.
Both smell delicious!
This Honey Almond is just what the name says.
There are no undertones of amaretto.
It’s a very sweet smell.
I love it in wax melts too.
