Rose Clay & Lemongrass essential oil

And once again French Rose Clay :-) With lemongrass essential oil this time.

First time I tried salted water for the lye solution. Was interesting :-) My feeling is that it made soap harder (even when I used approximately one tea spoon per 2 kilo of oils. But (as Jen @

Jenora Soaps said) the thin trace phase staid foooooorever... :-) 

Shea Butter + French Rose Clay

The same oil blend as in the previous soap (with 40% of Shea butter in the recipe). Love its leather and smoothness :-) And the scent -- mmmmm! Litsea Cubeba is one of my personal favorite essential oils.

 

Shea Butter Lemongrass soap.

This is amazing Shea Butter Lemongrass soap :-) Made with 40% Shea Butter in the recipe and organic coconut milk instead of water. Hot Process. It's wonderfully smooth and gentle, with great silky lather, and has uplifting citrus aroma (thanks to lemongrass essential oil). Very summer-y :-)

INGREDIENTS:
Saponified Raw Shea Butter, Extra Virgin Olive oil, Safflower oil, Grapeseed oil, organic coconut milk, calendula petals, orange peel powder, lemongrass essential oil.

Aloe Vera soap. Natural & handcrafted

Hello, my friends!

Finally I took pictures of my Aloe Vera cold process soap. I was waiting for so long because I wanted to use my new round stickers in the wrapping. And here we go!
The soap is great! Very nice and creamy lather. Suitable for sensitive skin. Unscented. 

:-)

One more :-) Citrusssy!

Another guest soap. This time it has citrus essential oils, calendula petals and sea salt.
Hot process soap with creamy foam. I wrapped these small bars and labeled them very simply, well, after all they are just for family and friends :-)

New soap :-) Salty!

Hi there! It's been such a long time -- hello, my crafty journal! The first posting in this year :-)

Just for start here is a picture of new guest soap that was created from Aloe Vera cold process soap left-overs. I re-batched it, added Sea Salt and lavender essential oil. Love the result -- it looks like a sea stone during usage (like coquina, or something similar). It has such an interesting texture!

Have a pleasant soap-making! :-)
