Carrot, Honey, and Cream
This is a very mild and gentle soap. I debated leaving it unscented to make it even more gentle, but decided to go with a nice, light fragrance. The liquid portion for this one includes aloe, pureed carrots, honey, and sour cream. The oils are : olive, palm, coconut, avocado, castor, shea butter and cocoa butter. It is fragranced with a similar scent to Burt Bees Baby line.
Jamaica Me Crazy!
Very tropical and fruity fragrance, perfect for those sultry summer days. It has notes of lime, mandarin, kumquat, watermelon, cantaloupe, tart apple, honeydew and more:) This soap uses almond milk for the liquid. The oils are: olive, canola, coconut, avocado, castor, and cocoa butter.
Margarita on the Rocks
Who can resist a margarita? This is another salt bar so of course a personal favorite of mine. Aloe was used as the liquid and then the oil is all coconut. Fine sea salt is added to the batter to give a polishing and wonderful feel to the bar. A bit of course sea salt was added to the top because any good margarita has a salted rim;) The fragrance is lime margarita.
Shaving Soap
Ok, so all soaps that I make really work pretty well for shaving as they are very moisturizing. This one however is formulated to give a really dense and creamy lather. It works best when used with a brush but can be used without, just takes a bit of working with it to get the dense foam built up. I included bentonite clay to help the razor glide over the skin. I used aloe for the liquid and lard, tallow, avocodo, and castor for the oils. It is scented with a fragrance called 'Pheromone' which is described by the manufacture as citrus notes of bergamot and grapefruit, open up to a sensual bouquet of white floral and woody violet, grounded by the deeply sensual scent of oakmoss and sandalwoodhe
ACV Shampoo Bars
These bars are formulated for use on hair. While they are just fine to use on the skin as well, they are not superfatted as high as I usually do so are not quite as moisturizing to the skin. For hair though, most people do not need as much extra oil when trying to shampoo. These start with using apple cider vinegar and aloe for the liquid. The main oil is canola into which I infused nettle, peppermint, calendula, alfalfa, sage, licorice root, and chamomile. The rest of the oils include: coconut, castor, sweet almond, shea butter, and jojoba. These are scented with an essential oil blend of rosemary, peppermint, and lavender.
Vanilla Latte
Need a little wake up for your skin? Give it caffeine:) This soap uses both coffee and goat milks as its liquid portion. I included some coffee grounds to give it exfoliating powers. The oils are a base of hydrogenated palm and soybean, rice bran, coconut, avocado, and castor. I used coffee fragrance oil and then a hint of vanilla bean fragrance as well.
