Im super excited to make this soap! I just bought my first bag of calendula ❤ loved your tutorial. Im extremely sensitive to smells, so i have been researching ways to have natural scents come through without fragrance or essential oils.

It's very difficult to get natural smells to hold in soap but I have found calendula and chamomile do. Cocoa butter also gives a rich creamy aroma 🧡

I actually love Calendula Tea. These look so very creamy, even though they are hard. Sure to be a hit for those with Allergies and for Babies. I am currently gently infusing Coffee beans. I am not in a hurry because of other projects. So many ideas, not enough hours. Cheers!

I would love to be able to drink things like Calendula or Chamomile tea but any of those petals from the Aster family make me beyond nauseous 🤢 I have been meaning to make a coffee infusion for a while now - I bet it smells wonderful.

What a lovely simple soap, Keely! What I've heard about 100% olive oil soaps is that they need to cure for much longer because if you use them after a regular cure, they can be very slimy. Even when I made a soap that is 70% olive they have a bit of that sliminess after a 6 week cure so I leave them longer.
