I'm Carys, from Oregon in the US. I've been making soap for about 13 years. I started with melt and pour, moved on to cold process, discovered hot process, and never looked back (cleaning up *soap* instead of lye and fat!! \o/ )
I make a big batch every so often. It's mostly for my own use, but every so often I make enough to sell the extras.
I use the same olive/almond/coconut blend of food-grade organic oils for each kind, and then add "flavorings" once the soap's cooled. Some of my flavors:
Chocolate mint
Coffee and cream garden soap
Mocha
Mexican chocolate
Calendula and chamomile
Sandalwood spice
Lavendar mint
