Yeast Defense

Yes! I finally made it, with some help from my husband who I think will never help again as he sustained several lye burns. This soap was created with a large percentage of Grapefruit Seed Extract, which has properties that combats yeast on and in your body.

In addition, it contains an essential oil blend with oils that also have yeast-fighting assets. Use to defend against reoccurring infections, Candida, Thrush and any other yeast related maladies. The soap contains ingredients indicated for use against yeast, this is not a medicine or a statement of fact but just a statement about what the ingredients are believed to do.

Because I had help, 90% of the bars actually got molded before the batch seized up. The essential oils tend to make the batch go kaboom, especially the clove oil. I was able to get most of it done and it is a very large batch.

Cedarwood Sage

This is a pale soap in a men-friendly scent. It has sage leaves throughout and a nice creamy texture. The scent was maybe not as strong as I had hoped but hopefully it'll settle in. This is the first time making this blend.

Vanilla Brown Sugar

Back to soaping! This one is made will all-natural vanilla oil and brown sugar, no fragrance oils. The last time I made this I expected it to be a scrubby soap but the heat of the curing process makes the sugar melt into the soap so it leaves specks, scent but very little texture. The sugar also naturally helps with lathering, so this should be a nice soap again.
