My Adventures So Far...

Does it feel good knowing you can make beautiful handmade soap out of oil and lye solution?

You bet!

I have been testing out a few recipes. I have made the following:

Pumpkin Soap

My First Bars of Soap!
Loved it so much, my daughter & I made more for her birthday:)


































Coffee Soap
Oatmeal Soap

Scented with Lemongrass Verbena












Cherry Soap
Goat's milk soap versions
Tea Flower Soap
Lavender Soap
Clay Soap
Baby soap

Goat's Milk + Oatmeal for delicate skin of babies









Shampoo bars

Also, played around with Annatto seed and Calendula flower infusions

LOVED using clays...

and



my new favourite-- Soleseife Soap, or simply called Brine Soap:)
Loved the Outcome of my Salt-Bar of Soap

Admiring it's smooth bottom with flecks of pink salt!
 
Love the swirls with the pink and activated charcoal. The bottom is a pristine white due to the sodium content and the fine Pink Himalayan Soap is added (50% of the weight of the oil).
 
Can you see the flecks of salt? 
 
This experience has been satisfying and food for my crafty soul. What feeds yours?
