Because color is displayed differently on various devices, the soap you order could be different from what you’re viewing on your phone, laptop, or monitor. This is a common occurrence with online shopping; it has to do with display resolution, number of pixels and bit depth.
Ingredients:
Olive Oil, Stout Green Tea, Coconut Oil, Palm Oil (Responsibly Sourced), Sodium Hydroxide (none remains in the final product), Sweet Almond Oil, Castor Oil, Green Tea FO, Silk (Cruelty-Free), Oxides & Micas
5% Super Fat
Super Fat: to use a small excess of ‘free’ fatty acids in a recipe that are deliberately NOT converted to soap. Instead, these tiny oil molecules remain within the soap matrix and are then transferred to your skin when washing. This is not to say that your skin will feel oily because only a minuscule percentage is used.

Top Notes: Green Tea Leaves | Middle Notes: Silver Needle Tea, Wisteria | Base Notes: Warm Musk
This fragrance oil is the aroma of warm steeping green tea leaves.
The Secret Feather Swirl Technique was ideal for this design. The “secret” refers to the feather-like swirl that appears suspended in the middle of the soap and is only revealed when the soap is cut. To enhance the design, the mold can be gently tapped against a hard surface after completing the swirl, causing the ends of the feather to curve upward and resemble a leaf.
I chose white for the base and green and black for the “tea leaves.” While I could have used two shades of green, I opted for a bolder contrast.
Using my 3-section divider, I poured white soap batter into the two outer sections and partially into the middle. To create the leaf, I alternated layers of black and green in the center. After removing the dividers, I pulled the ribbon up and out of the mold, forming the middle “vein” of the leaf. A few gentle taps of the mold on the counter turned the ends of the leaf upward. I then poured the reserved white batter on top, ensuring the leaf was
completely surrounded by white. To finish, I splattered some green and black on the surface and used a chopstick to swirl it.

Personally, I don’t like the smell or taste of green tea, but since this was a tea-themed soap, I used my Green Tea fragrance oil.
