Candybee Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I just made these for my wholesale account with Belle Grove Plantation. The plantation was established in 1797 and is now a well kept historic site complete with a ghost. They have been selling my soap and B&B for a couple years and recently asked me for something new. So I told them about beer soap and this is what I came up with. I made them 4 test batches. One made with plantation hive honey, one with oatmeal, and a couple with pumpkin puree. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted October 5, 2017 Author Share Posted October 5, 2017 (edited) I found and downloaded a couple of 18th century fonts to use in the labels. The blue pic on the top of the labels is their logo. Here is a link to the plantation's website: http://bellegrove.org/ Its in the heart of sacred ground known as civil war battlefield grounds. There are historic battlefields all over the Shenandoah Valley and there was even a battle fought at Belle Grove.

Jcandleattic Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 That sounds awesome. I'd love to visit some of the old civil war battlefields like that. I love round soaps, and love the font you used for these. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonstar Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I love everything about these soaps. I have a feeling they're going to have a tough choosing one. They all sound awesome. Did you just add FO to some, like the Lavender Ale? Ive never used a beer soap. What are they like, do they smell like beer ? Sorry for the dumb question lol ! Great job ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The beer smell does not make it through the saponification process, at least I've never had any luck with that happening. A beer soap is quite nice with tons of bubbles, and IDK - hard to describe - you just need to use one. LOL I tend to add Lime EO to all of my beer soaps (just the way it seems to work out) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I looked up the company you mentioned that has 15 fold Lime EO but your right its OOB Any other suppliers that would carry this. I never knew it even existed. SO 13 fold Lime EO lasts in CP, is this correct ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don't know what fold my lime EO was (honestly I think it might have only been 5x) but I have a couple soaps left that are about 2 years old and they are still strongly scented. I *might* still have the bottle, and if I do, I'll look and see what it says. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted October 6, 2017 Author Share Posted October 6, 2017 Moonstar the soaps all from test batches I just made. So they really need more time to cure and harden up. I just wanted to package some with the new labels so I could email a pic to my account. I don't know yet if all the fragrances I used will hold up until over time. The honey and oatmeal I know will because those are ones I have used before. So far they all smell pretty good but the lavender apple scent has already faded. I think next time I am going to make my own blend of lavender apple from FOs and EOs I know work for me. Once I smelled the lavender apple FO I liked it right away. But what matters is what my account likes. Re lime in CP soap I use regular lime EO which is essentially 5x. It sticks like crazy and smells wonderful in CP soap. Frankly I don't see why anyone would want to go to all the trouble of looking for a 15x lime when a standard 5x works so well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 I too love round soaps. Your labels are great and so are your scent choices! I would buy one (or four) in a minute! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
