Banana Honey Soap Reveal!
I had to get my stuff ready to go for the Olathe Farmer’s Market tomorrow before I could even think about cutting the Banana Honey soap. This was great motivation for me, and well worth the wait!
The bottom layer is the one with the bananas, honey and fragrance in it. The top two layers are just for show! Hopefully I didn’t use too much banana – the soap is still pretty soft. As expected, the honey heated things up and caused the top layer to have that crackle effect which is known to happen when soap is whitened with titanium dioxide and then heats up. There is one small crack (and an air bubble!) on the top of the soap that was in the middle of the mold as well:
Otherwise, it is absolutely PERFECT. The fragrance I used is very mild, and smells like real bananas – not fake banana candy. There is a hint of the honey almond essential oil blend as well. One of my Facebook fans mentioned that banana is great for facial soap, which was news to me! I wouldn’t use this particular soap on my face because of the added fragrance, but it does give me some ideas…
I wish I could re-create the design of this particular soap, but I have a feeling any subsequent attempts will be less than worthy! The Banana Honey soap will be a Soap of the Week after it has had a chance to fully cure.
In the meantime, go check out the Bye Bye Bugs products! I put them on sale for the weekend.

This soap looks absolutely delicious and reminiscent of a Banana Loaf, with a healthy dose of whipped cream on top! Your soap is making me hungry! 🙂
Sounds heavenly! I’m not a fan of bananas for eating, but I love the smell 🙂
Beautiful looking soap, Amy, cracks and all. btw…I like working with the crackle effect in my soaps 🙂
How beautiful is this bar…wow! The light brown reminds me a little of banana cake also.
