I am new to the world of soap making but I am hoping to find ingredients that I can scent my soap with naturally.
I live in an area where it is very difficult to find things for soap making. Palm oil dose not exist and coconut & olive oil is very expensive. So I've settled on a simple lard, lye, and water recipe.
I've had to order scent online. I'm not happy about not being able to smell it before I buy and with shipping and everything, it can get very expensive.
Are there any spices, herbs, or other products that I can add at trace that will make my soap smell good?
I tried a recipe that called for baker's chocolate and it said it would smell. It didn't. Perhaps I should have put it in at trace instead of with my oils like it said?
