Behind the bar: Devotion

Devotion is a 5% superfat cold-process bar, made with silicone molds for their shapes. The rose petals for these bars were cut from my bushes, and dried for three months. I ground some of the petals into the bars, and I used unground petals for decorative purposes on top of these bars.

They are my most romantic bar of soap to date — from the smell, to the purpose, to the patience it took to make them. They will always be a limited bar due to the wait time needed for drying the petals, and my rose bushes' growing season.
