Today we’re mixing up a simple, fragrant Cranberry Orange Body Oil that I devised to give beautiful cranberry seed oil a chance to shine. Since it’s a new-to-me ingredient, I wanted to get to know it in a simpler formulation. I’ve used it neat on the skin, and that’s lovely, but I wanted to step things up a bit to create a fragrant, lightweight body oil that’s lovely to use right after a bath or before bed on a cold winter night.
Today we’re kicking off the 2019 holiday making season with our first Christmas soap and the launching of our first 2019 Christmas theme—Cranberry Orange! This theme will be starring ingredients like juicy-smelling cranberry seed oil, cranberry seeds, orange essential oil, suitably hued micas and pigments, and possibly some of the actual foods as well. This swirly cold-processed soap features cranberry seed oil, cranberry seeds, orange essential oil, and some beautiful micas to create some lovely swoopy swirls.
