this is another custom order of mother's milk soaps. as always, i use a marseilles formula which calls for 72% of olive oil content.
the lady who placed the order would like her babies to sleep better after bathing. so i used a combination of lavender and sweet marjoram essential oils. sweet marjoram is a bushy herb with dark-green leaves and clusters of white flowers. its essential oil is steam-distilled from the leaves and flowering tops. it has spicy, warm, woody undertones and blends well with lavender, bergamot and chamomile. marjoram is known to be the great comforter of essential oils. it is comforting and good for soothing and giving solace to the heart and emotions.
in order to make the texture of the marseille soaps harder in this relatively more humid weather, i used palm kernel instead of the usual palm oil. the result is a firmer, more long-lasting soap with more bubbles.
i hope the customer's babies would like these.
