One of the fun things about being a handmade soap company is blending essential oils together to use in handmade soap. Sometimes you hit on what you think will be a great blend out of the bottle so to speak but once it hits the soap pot it quickly morphs into something that grows out of a swamp. No kidding! On the other hand, you can mix up a blend and it doesn’t strike your fancy out of the bottle but is just beautiful in handmade soap.   Today I poured a test blend of what I think I’ll call Summer Solstice.  I know, I should have made this soap a few months ago, but hey, better late than never.  It is a essential oil blend of Lavender, Litsea Cubea or May Chang and Patchouli.  Nothing fancy but I am pretty confident that these handmade soap bars once cut will smell awesome!   Here it is just poured in the slab.   If this soap goes over like I think it will at the Portland Saturday Market then I’ll add it to the website and as a wholesale soap selection.  That’s the best part of doing markets, I can see how a new handmade soap is received before making the decision to add it to the line.   Nothing like doing a little market research!

A little closer….. I think it’s gonna be pretty!
