Relaxing Blend

The last batch seized and was ruined. So I remade. This batch is brought to you by the letter "C"-- made with Coconut Oil, Cocoa Butter, Castor Oil, Canola Oil, vegan with Candelilla Wax and a few other oils. Also starting with the letter C is the Colloidal Oatmeal. This is an essential oil blend of Palmarosa and Lavender Oils.

Cherry Blossom

This is one of those soaps that I originally began making due to a custom order. I have not made it since but then got a request for it. I made this with tons of Pink Kaolin Clay to make it a rich pink and then Calendula Extract at trace like the last batch. This is a floral scent.

Orange Ginger

I made this with a recipe that is very similar to the last batch I made which came out beautifully with a lovely lather. An energizing blend.

Cassia Spice

Cassia is an evergreen tree native to southern China, Bangladesh, India, and Vietnam. Like its close relative, cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum, also known as "true cinnamon" or "Ceylon cinnamon"), it is used primarily for its aromatic bark, which is used as a spice, often under the culinary name of "cinnamon". The buds are also used as a spice, especially in India, and were once used by the ancient Romans.)

mixed with Ginger and Sweet Orange. All essential oils put together with ground cinnamon for a homey yet slightly exotic treat.

I was able to find actual ground Cassia, think a very spicy Cinnamon mixed throughout.

Valencia

Ah Valencia. One of my favorites. A sharp mix of citruses with an herbal backbone of Thyme. This is an essential oil duplicate of the Avena scent.
