Saponification...

...happened at my house today.

I made soap. It is a herbal mega-mix which I think I will name "Scarborough Fair" on account of it containing parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.

I hot-infused the above herbs as well as peppermint into olive oil, and added coconut oil. I made the lye solution using pure lavender hydrosol, and also added the essential oils of pine, grapefruit, lime and sandalwood to add to the herbal scent.

I will post pix tomorrow when I cut it.
