Renate Brunner's Almond Delight Soap Recipe
Almond Delight Soap by Renate Brunner
First of all I'm sorry, but my labels don't have a name on them for the soap, the guy who printed it for me, got it 3x wrong, had to give up in the end... it's called Almond Delight. I sell a soap with similar look, which people always comment, that it looks good enough to eat, hence to look.
For the ingredients I have chosen Almonds, because they're my favourite nut and I love aniseedy tastes.
