This lovely soap can be left with just its honey fragrance, or try one of the suggestions in the recipe. The White Tea & Ginger Fragrance won't discolour the orange colour, or Beeswax & Honey provides a floral note that blends well with natural honey. Both provide a gentle fragrance, as do citrus Essential Oils.
Total Fluids = 430g
or 30ml (6 teaspoons) Orange or Mandarin or Tangerine Essential Oil
OR you can leave the fragrance out altogether and just let the honey gently fragrance the soap
