Soap #15 made 24/10/2015 best after 24/11/2015
Absinthe
I bought a batch of fragrance oils and among them was this small bottle of Absinthe.
What's the luck... arrives one day and the next I read somewhere online that this fragrance accelerates and sets like soap on a stick. I thought I might as well just use it straight away while it still seemed like a problem in my mind. I was all set to just dump it in the mold if it became a problem but sectioned off some of the batter to do a top if posible. After adding the fragrance oil I was ready and watching.... no reaction at all.... quickly added some colour, still no reaction so added the top and did a quick swirl, still no reaction.
Anyway, it turned out to be a simple soap but it didn't accelerate and has made some lovely bars....oh, and it smells great too!
