I have been making Moringa Tea Tree soap regularly but I usually make it a plain solid green from infusing powdered moringa in oil. A lady who always orders it requested for something with design. Wanting to keep it all-natural, I chose charcoal for the contrasting color of the swirls. I must say I really like the new look and I hope it pleases her, too. 🙂
I had 4 batches of moringa powder steeping in olive oil since November but I needed 5. I thus ended up making one batch with a week-old infusion. I was a bit worried that it would come out a lighter green, but at the same time I was curious if there would be any difference. You know what, the lone batch made with the one-week infusion was just as green as the ones with the 2-month infusion! I could not detect any difference at all!
Beautiful colours, the charcoal made for a beautiful contrast. Your photos are amazing, I love the compositions and how you make everything look so effortless.
Thank you, Monica! I am happy to hear it looks effortless. Just like a ballerina, we all aim for that. 🙂 My creaky back hurts though from all the bending to take photos. LOL! 😀
I love those two natural colours together! And your swirl is as always beautiful. This reminds me I have a green tea infusion sitting on my shelves… And the pictures are beautiful too. You are so inspiring Sylvia!
Thank you, Madame Propre! Are you using powdered green tea? I have only used tea leaves steeped in water, but I am curious about green tea powder. Looking forward to your post on it! 🙂
You did a great job and the result is just beautiful. Your pic is lovely too – I can feel the silence that I see in them. I’m sure your customer will be happy with her soap 😊
Thank you, Yvonne. 🙂
Your soaps are so beautiful, they are truly an insipiration.
Thank you, Mary. Happy to hear that. 🙂
You are so talented, Silvia, and your soaps are such an inspiration!
Love this natural green, and love your way of keeping this soap 100% naturally colored!
Have to look for this magic moringa too 😉
Thank you, Nat! Would love to share some of my moringa powder with you. I have a lot! 🙂
Beautiful swirls!!! 🙂
Thank you, Heather. 🙂
Charcoal is a great inclusion. Your bars are so elegant =)
Thank you, Anne-Marie. Charcoal has a nice effect, even as an accent with other bright colors. 🙂
Your work is always such an inspiration! I love seeing your soap designs.
Hearing that warms my heart. Thank you Emily. 🙂
Love the charcoal swirls on the green background. I have to admit, I have never heard of Moringa before seeing it on your blog and then while I was traveling Southeast Asia, I saw it being served everywhere. I love the natural green look- does the soap fade over time?
How did you like eating malunggay/kamunggay as what moringa is called here? 🙂
The green fades over time, but kept in the dark, the color stays longer.
Gorgeous soap, Silvia! I love those swirls and the hues from the natural colorants. It’s a really pretty color combination. I’m sure that your customer will love it!
I hope that she will! Thank you, Jenny. 🙂
Grate ingredient combination! The soap turned really beautiful and your pictures are also stunning!
Thank you, Gordana! I enjoyed making the swirls and taking the photos. 🙂
