I had some vanilla bean powder in my pantry and thought it
would be interesting to see what it did in soap. I split the soap into 2
portions and added powdered vanilla bean to half and then swirled the soap all
together. The vanilla bean definitely adds nice visual interest; I thought the vanilla bean powder
might dissolve and just turn the soap tan, but it stayed nice and speckled:
That looks like cake :) Does it smell like vanilla?
ReplyDeleteThe vanilla powder has a lovely fragrance, but it doesn't come through in the soap :(
DeleteI like it! Tops are really nice.
ReplyDeleteThanks Gordana! :)
DeleteThis looks like one of the most BEAUTIFUL soaps! Wow. Gorgeous photo. What is the scent like? xo Jen
ReplyDeleteThank you Jen, I really appreciate it! The fragranced I used is a vanilla/honey/musk blend, it's very light and powdery.
DeleteIt looks like sand and vanilla smells like summer to me! It's maybe because I'm sitting on the beach right now,having coffee,ha,ha!
ReplyDeleteOh Maja, I want to be where you are right now...that sounds lovely!
DeleteThe picture is gorgeous, Cee!
ReplyDeleteThank you Natalia! =)
DeleteI love the specks of vanilla bean, Cee Gee! It's nice to know that the vanilla bean powder stays speckled and doesn't dissolve. The soaps look gorgeous - great job!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenny, it's a nice option for a bit of natural color :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun look! I haven't used the vanilla bean powder in my soaps before and I think I might have to after looking at these. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Anne-Marie! =)
ReplyDeleteHmmmm....maybe I should use the vanilla bean powder I've had in my cupboard for ages! ....wouldn't it be great if the scent survived saponification? The powder smells so delicious.
ReplyDeleteI love speckles!
