Sweet Almond Oil Soap Recipe

Soap made with Sweet Almond Oil

This sweet almond oil soap recipe has been decorated with grated brightly colored soap bits creating a lovely 'confetti-like' look.

Mildly scented with chamomile, lavender, geranium and sweet orange essential oils some of which are said to be beneficial in treating and soothing eczema.

Try adding a small amount of titanium dioxide or white mica to the soap base to get even more contrast between the base and the soap bits.
