Chamomile + Calendula

Chamomile and calendula are soothing for your stomach if made as a tea and they are calming to the skin.  For me, they create mental rolling meadows and remind me of a simpler time when summer meant few responsibilities and games of cards and backgammon.

Check out these great looking, creamy soaps:

Aw, thanks for the shout out, Jo!

Did you sprinkle those flower petals on the soap before it fully hardened so it's stuck on the soap, or was that just for the photo?

This is a compilation of soaps from other soap makers.

An answer to your question about the dried flowers: In order for botanicals to stick to soap, they need to be put on or in the soap when raw/wet.

Aren't they pretty?? :)

Thanks for including my Chamomile & Calendula bar! It does work best when you put the petals on when the soap is still wet, however, I add petals after the gel stage :)While the soap is still sticky but cooling.

Great blog, thanks again.
