I've just finished wrapping my natural honey & oatmeal palm oil free soaps ready to take with me to show my girlfriends next week when I catch up with them. I hope they like the packaging. I love this simple yet exquisitely moisturising soap made up of local Australian honey, oatmeal, saponified: olive oil; coconut oil; rice bran oil and cocoa butter. It is not fragranced by any essential oils but I can definitely smell the cocoa butter and there is very light aroma of honey. I first made a similar bar some 7/8 years ago for my husband to use with his dry skin. I also suffer from dry skin patches and find this bar really moisturises my skin. Over the years I've tweaked and adapted the original recipe until I am happy with the one I have now. Unlike many large companies that mass produce soap, I make my soap using the cold pressed method, because of this, glycerin a natural by product of the saponification process is retained in my soaps and not removed to be used in other products.
This soap is good enough to eat so to be on the safe side I made sure I placed a label on the back clearly stating "Do not eat" :-)
