Teach Soap

Hi everyone,

Getting ready to venture out and try to make some Christmas soap, can you share your favorite ?

Too many out there ! I can't decide !

Thanks,
Sue

We sell a ton of cranberry, peppermint and ginger around the Christmas season. A lot of sweeter 'cookie' type scents do good as well. These are my favorite all year round though!

There is a Christmas sampler kit here; this way you can try them out before getting in larger quantities.

Last year I did peppermint, hot cocoa and an evergreen scent. And I did melt and pour with a grapefruit. They were all welcomed by the friends and family so that I will do much the same this year. I may try a roasted chestnut... just to change it up a little.

I love the Christmas Tree scents not the others, I get sick from the scent of peppermint I just got one from BB called Christmas Tree, I love it in the bottle but have not tried it in CP yet, I will by next week

please let us know how that scent turns out. Last year I did the woodland elves and my husband plus someother family members really liked it. I used the juniper sage this summer and that was my preferred one but don't think it has that strong 'christmas tree' smell to it. As of right now I would easily choose to make either one again.

I made it two days ago and LOVE it! It just smells like Christmas, I had one called Winter Wonderland, but it discolored to pink everyone loved the smell but pink, not so much it did not discolor my soap to date, it is still nice and white. The scent was not too strong in the bottle so I was worried that it would get lost in the cp soap, but it did not, it seems even stronger now. I did not gel, never gel when hoping for white soap. My house smells like Christmas. I used 4 oz fo to 6 lbs of cp the fo is called Christmas Tree it is a Cybilla Fragrance. Also loved the Pumpkin one, and it did not overly discolor my soap, still wish it would stay orange, but I will have to deal.

Selena, Thanks for the update! I will add that to my list of fragrances to try. I can see why you would have like the pumpkin to stay orange... what a fantastic color. The other reminds me of a winter lodge... I know sometimes I have a strange imagination! What are you going to paint on them?

I love Peppermint soap for Christmas..it just screams holidays to me. This is my first holiday actually selling (not just to friends and family) I did..Cranberry balsam, Peppermint, a fresh snow/pine, winterberries, frosted spruceberry and have yet to make a winter wonderland. I hope it's enough..we shall see!!

I have an FO called Christmas Wreath that I got from WSP. It smells very piney OOB. (in a nice way, not like Pine-sol!) I'm hoping to make some CP with it next week. Hope the scent holds.
