I finally found out what it was when I planned to buy May Chang Essential Oil and the online store where I usually buy my oils provide the picture. So May Chang =Litsea Cubeba=Kemukus in Bahasa Indonesia. There are a lot of skin benefits of this plant, I'll do more online research about this.  I agree with everyone who likes the scent of May Chang, it's a pleasant scent but not overpowering.  I already infuse it in coconut oil, when infused the color of the oil is bright green.  But in Cold Process Soap, it barely gives any color :(

These soaps were made from strawberry and cucumber juice. Strawberry doesn't give red color incp soaps, so the orange was from paprika infused oil.  Cucumber, however, gives a very pale green color. These are scented with coconut lime verbena FO and Cucumber Melon FO

The same formula but this time using sandalwood powder. It gives very light pinkish brown color.  Scented with champagne FO
