First Batch!

Soap color in its natural state.

Boy has this been a learning experience!

I just uncovered the loaf of soap (sounds funny!) after 24 hours.  The corners were a little moist.  Not knowing that I should have let it cool for at least 15 minutes I proceeded to cut the 8-1/2 x 11 inch slab into three blocks and cut each block into bars of roughly 4 ounces.  Since these were hand cut each bar is sized slightly different.  The lavender scent is PHENOMENAL.  The batch was supposed to yield 28 bars but I only got 22 plus a lot of mini  bars from a few larger bars that did not cut evenly because the loaf was too soft.

Mini soaps for guests
or  a few showers.

The soap you see here is in its natural state with no artificial colors.  The properties in the lavender are calming and perfect for a shower right before bed or after a hard day at the office or anywhere else you spend your day.  As mentioned before, no artificial anything goes into Earthbound Soaps so the color will be the same but the scent different and perhaps a few botanicals thrown in for a bit of exfoliation.

Next, lemongrass!
