Tangerine Dream

This is one that is long-overdue to be made. Tangerine essential oil blended with a ton of Vanilla Oil and a touch of Lavender essential oil. Colored with a touch of oxide and made with Mowrah Butter and Wheat Germ oil.

Chamomile Neroli

A blend of Chamomile and Neroli essential oils. Neroli is a plant oil similar in scent to bergamot produced from the blossom of the bitter orange tree. We also make a Mandarin Neroli soap.

Made with Chamomile tea instead of water, dried Egyptian chamomile blooms and chamomile extract at trace. Chamomile Extract is used as an anti-inflammatory and also as a mild sedative. On the skin, it helps to reduce redness and is soothing on inflamed skin.

I made it chunky-style again with whole blooms.

Honey Almond, again

I'm trying to keep this one in stock as much as possible, I am down to one or two bars so I figured I should replenish, but the soap won't be done for 6 weeks so they'll be a time when I'm out.

Made with an essential oil blend not a fragrance oil in addition to goat's milk and yellow oxide, this is a popular soap that lathers like mad.

Lemon Rosemary

I originally created this soap as a kitchen soap, the deodorizing powers of Lemon mixed with the herbal punch of Rosemary, liberally intermixed with Poppy Seeds. This is a great soap to keep by your kitchen sink, but its so much more than that. This time I made it with Neem Oil which is 50% fatty acids, the concentrated essential fatty acids help to restore moisture and elasticity to the skin while it disinfects and heals.

Rosewood Cedar

This is a new soap a blend of Rosewood Essential Oil (Sweet, woody, floral and slightly spicy aroma. It is antidepressant, antiseptic, aphrodisiac, deodorant, and insecticide. It is said to stabilize the central nervous system and could therefore have an overall balancing effect. Helpful when feeling low, overwhelmed with problems. May relieve headaches when accompanied by nausea and may also relieve jet lag. Its deodorizing action helps the body cope with excess heat and moisture.) and Cedarwood Essential oil. This soap is aromatic and woody with a gentle hint of rose.

I used a teeny tiny amount of Pink Kaolin Clay to give this the lightest possible pink hue.

Orange Ginger, again

I have not made soap in a few weeks so I tried to catch up today by making 4 kinds. I began with Orange Ginger, made with essential oils and speckled with powdered rose hips. This is vegan and made with lots of cocoa butter.
