| Frozen strawberry juice, strawberry preserves, grated soap and organic cream |
Yesterday I made hand milled Strawberries and Cream Soap. As
you can see, the freshly cut loaf reveals a more reddish interior, where it
hasn’t dried. I believe it will dry brown. Too bad.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t
smell of the wonderful strawberries I grew myself. This is why soap makers add
color and fragrance to their soaps. It simply makes soap more appealing. If
someone has sensitive skin, however, they may want just the bare essentials.
There are wonderful natural colorants and essential oils that can be added to
future batches. Right now, my aim is to see what will happen just going with
the basics.

This non-hand milled soap has these ingredients: saponified
virgin olive oil, turmeric powder, annatto powder and cocoa powder. It’s more
aesthetically pleasing, don’t you think? It was fun to make, too.
