God, I feel like an amateur compared to you. I have only been doing this for 3-4 months, and I feel like I have a lot to learn. I feel like my bar soap recipe is good, but it doesn't look as nice as yours. Looking at your ingredients, I am considering adding castor oil to mine or grapeseed oil. I have both oils on hand, and was using them for something else, but I may start adding them to my bar soap recipe soon. Not sure how you put swirls in your soaps, but I know that I have bought some dried flowers to put some color in mine. I will probably start coloring my soaps in January when the market days are over. I go to market practically every Saturday now selling my soap. But, I will probably start to experiment with my ingredients between January and April before the markets start open up again. Would like to email you about some suggestions. I am not going to use exactly what you use; don't worry. I just know that I need to make mine look different, and add some ingredients to make my recipe my own a little more.
