Soap Batch # 2: Tropical Delight.

My newest batch of soap is "Tropical delight" and is a blend of sweet and fragrant mango, with sensually smooth coconut and macadamia oils. It also contains shredded loofah for a gentle exfoliation.

It contains:
Coconut oil,
Sustainable palm oil,
Olive oil,
Macadamia oil, and
"Mango Lassi" fragrance oil.

Then to dress up my base recipe, Tropical Delight, I decided to make mango sorbet style soaps. To do this I split the recipe into two. One bowl had 2/3 of the total mixture. To this I added some coloured mica in a coral colour, and some left over natural food colouring I had, (I wouldn't normally, but the colour of the mica wasn't quite right for what I wanted), and a added some yellow/ orange glitter hexagons I had left over from my nail art stuff. The shredded loofah also went in to this mix. The other bowl with the last third of the batch was left plain, with the only addition being a small amount of shredded coconut.

And this is how it turned out......
