Budding up!

Our full sized soap block weighs in at over 6KG and our most popular soap, Fresh Rose Butter needs at least 360 individual red rose buds pushing into the top.  It's very laborious and budding up a 6KG block takes longer than it actually takes to make it. Some of those rose buds can be a bit dry and crumbly and we have to select the firmest ones, so they will last the longest.
There is other soap out there that has rose buds pressed into the top but we like to think we go the extra mile to make ours as luxurious as we know how. A lot of other soap doesn't have as many buds as ours and most of it, we notice,  has the pink rose buds. We love those pink rose buds, they have such a beautiful colour but sadly they do fade and turn brown, so we also fork out for the much pricier rich red buds, sprinkle them with yet more rose petals and stand back to admire the results.
