Peppermint Salt Soap

Made with 100% coconut oil, with an excess of 20% oil, to ensure they are not drying. These soaps have fine grain salt, essential oil and soap safe colour added.
 
These bars make lovely luscious, bubbles and have a slight exfoliating effect due to the salt. They gently remove dead skin cells and leave your skin feeling soft and smooth.

I use regular table salt due to the size of the granules being very fine. This means the soap is much less abrasive.

Salt soap cakes are great for all skin types and especially kind on mature aged skin and they make great facial cleaners.

Aussie Christmas Swap 2011

I volunteered to be the ‘host’ of a swap, on an international soap forum I’m active on. The theme was ‘christmas’ and after a few signed up and pulled out, we were left with eight soap makers keen to swap and receive new soaps to review and enjoy.

Olive Oil - Sensitive Soul Soap

A castile soap made from 100% olive oil.

Sensitive Soul is fragrance free and colour free, making it ideal for sensitive skin.

Castile soap is a name used in English speaking countries for olive oil based soap made in a style similar to that originating in the Castilla region of Spain.

Castile soap is known as the purest, mildest soap available and most suitable soap for sensitive skin. It contains no animal fats or synthetic detergents.

Some people describe castile soap as feeling slimy, while other as smooth and creamy. Just know that the lather is different from other home made soaps. Olive oil soap is conditioning and exceptionally mild with a low lather.

Sensitive Soul soap is 100% olive oil – free from colour and fragrance.

Christmas Time

Made with olive, coconut, rice bran and castor oils and cocoa butter. These soaps have cranberry fig fragrance oil and colourings added to them.

A wonderful summery fragrance! The tart bite of cranberries and the sweet, mild allure of figs are made even more striking in this mix by adding a smattering of tangy orange and pink grapefruit.

This seasonal blend is sophisticated and romantic. Mandarin orange, meyer lemon and tangerine zest tangle with the freshness of basil, sweet clove bud and star jasmine before being brought to the grounding earth with patchouli, Indian myrrh, golden amber and Egyptian musk.

Good Morning - Coffee Soap

Instead of distilled water, this soap is make from a strongly brewed coffee.  The coffee smells strong after it's made, so I leave the coffee maker jug outside to smell for the neigbourhood while it cools.  Then after measuring the amount of liquid I need, the coffee is put in the freezer until it's semi frozen.  This allows for it to be used safely and without any ghastly smell caused by the 'extreme' heating that results when the caustic soda comes into contact with the coffee.

The top of the coffee soap has some colouring swirled in it and a small amount of the coffee grounds added to exfoliate.  After the caustic soda has 'made' soap, all the smell from the coffee water is gone.  To get a coffee smell a coffee fragrant oil is added.
