I managed to find coconut oil and palm oil* for fairly cheap last night, which excited me to no end. At first, the palm oil was disgusting, red, gloppy, and smelled like burning plastic. However, it lighted to a yellowish blondeish color overnight in the soap, and now smells like Honeysuckle and Hyacinth. Overall, I am pleased with the results. I rebatched it tonight, and that seemed to work out much better this time as well.
Honeysuckle and Hyacinth scented, "Nana's House" soap will be ready to ship next week. 4 oz. bars are 5.00, and 6 oz. bars are 7.50.
* West African palm oil, as I am committed to helping the enviroment and using only sustainable products in my soap. :)
