Last weekend I got to make soap with my new soap mold. I made two batches, this Honey & Almond along with the Ginger Citrus. But the Ginger Citrus that hasn’t turn out yet. So I will post about that later. There were some issues with the fragrance and my recipe. I have to wait another 2 weeks to see what becomes of it.
But in the meantime, I am especially happy with these cute “Honey & Almond” loofah bar.
The lighter color is just just honey and beeswax while the tan one has extra almond meal (ground up almond). I think this would make a neat body bar as the loofah help stimulate new cell growth while getting rid of the old ones. Along with the all vegetable handmade soap, it gives you softer and smoother skin too.
I ended up adding almond meal to the rest of the soap as I wanted to make a nice facial and body bar with honey, pure beeswax, an almond. The honey is good for the skin and the almond meal will add to extra exfoliation.
Loofah starts out as this tasty vegetable. Once it’s mature and dried, it’s made into loofah. When I was younger, my mom used to grow some of these in her garden. They taste slightly sweet and are good in soups and stir-fry. Photo from Wiki.
