Scented Soap

Marmalade Scented Soap

This soap provides a zesty, tangy aroma of bitter oranges, mandaines and limes with the glistening chunks of citrus peel and the sparle of a hint of ginger.

You make this soap the same way as Orange and Lemon Soap using the following ingredients:

tbsp = tablespoon
tsp = teaspoon

1 kg clear soap base
1 tbsp or 15 ml yellow palm oil
1 tsp or 5ml lime essential oil
2 tsp or 10 ml mandarin essential oil
2 tsp or 10 ml bitter orange essential oil
1 tsp or 5 ml ginger essential oil
2 tbsp or 30 ml grated citrus peel

Get Celestial and pour into this mold.














Here is some information on the ingredients used in Orange and Lemon Scented Soap and Marmalade Soap.

Base Oils

Sweet Almond Oil:
This is a wonderful moisturising oil suitable for all skin types. It is suitable for use in soaps providing a getle soap which has a good, mild lather. It can be used as one of the main ingredients in the soap but when mixed with olive oil, coconut oil or palm oil the soap becomes a very luxurious bar.

Yellow Palm Oil:
This oil is high in fatty acis and a rich source of beta-carotene and so produces a bright yellow colour soap when used in soaps.The soap becomes quite hard and it does not dissolve easily in water.

You can get white palm oil which works the same as yellow plam oil but without the colour.

Essential Oils

Citrus Essential Oils are extracted from cold expression from the peel of the fruit.

Lemon:

This has a light, fresh citrus scent and the effect you get is refreshing,stimulating,uplifting,motivating.











Sweet Orange:

This has a sweet fruity fragrance and the effect you get is refreshing and relaxing.











Bitter Orange:

This has a dry floral scent and the effect you get is refreshing and relaxing.











Mandarin:

This has an intensely sweet, almost floral like scent and is the lightest and most delicate of all the citrus oils.











Lime:

This has a sharp, fruity citrus scent and is more penetrating and less prone to fading than other citrus oils.












Ginger:

This is extracted from the dried,ground roots and has a warm, woody, spicy scent.











Botanicals

This refers to the herbs, spices and flowers youadd to your recipes to create texture, colour and enhance the scent.

Citrus Peel:
Finely grated , citrus peel acts as a gentle exfoliant and provides delicate flecks of interest.
