A customer once said, “You know what I like about your soap? I like that it is not all fancy, with wild colors. I just want good soap, nothing crazy.”
You know, I tend to agree with that statement. But sometimes, when I mix it up a little, I really do sell the devil out of the “limited edition” soaps!
I do not swirl enough to claim that I have ever reached the practice-makes-perfect swirling gold star. Oh no, I am far from it. I fit soap production into my schedule to keep the base soaps that we carry in stock, swirling and other techniques, well…they happen when I am feeling a bit frivolous.
So, I had a sample sized bottle of Lily of the Valley fragrance that kept winking at me each time I opened my fragrance cabinet. It said, “Hello, do something different with me!”
So, I tried. Lily of the Valley, you got the green, you got the lavender. You got the pretty. Yes, you did. Swirls, not so much.
Another blue moon (Or was that a full moon?) will come along. I’ll hit up the swirling techniques again. Yes I will!

I love your colors. How true the lady said about “nothing fancy” soap. In my area, the plain, no color to just a solid color sells better than the swirl or pretty top soaps, it also has to have a strong scent from the fragrance oil or essential oils.
Yes, they do want strong scented soap. The solid color, like a muted or soft color, sells the best. So, personally, do you also like the understated color (or none) yourself?
