                            BASIC Handmade Soap and Candles

                            Handmade Soap

                            Picture
                            This is not “melt-and-pour” soap from a kit. It is pretty close to the way soap was made a couple of centuries ago. The soaps are made from natural ingredients including: water, olive oil, soy oil, coconut oil, castor oil, lye, and fragrance oils. No preservatives, no other additives, no artificial colors (any colors present are a result of the chemical soap-making reaction with the essential and fragrance oils).

                            Each small batch is made in my home by combining the ingredients, stirring until the saponification process begins, and pouring it into a mold to set for three days. Then, the raw soap is removed from the mold, cut into bars, and allowed to cure for four weeks before it is ready to be used.

                            The result is a hard bar of moderately sudsy soap that smells great without unnatural ingredients and preservatives.

                            I strive to use scents that are best described as “earthy”, “woodsy”, or “natural”.

                            We're excited about this new fragrance. It is our first custom blended fragrance! Heavy on Smoke and Woodsy notes this deep, dark, and very masculine Patchouli is blended with English Rose. The straight rose oil smells like an English rose garden. Not as deep as other roses, but it is a true, light rose that when blended adds a nice rounded floral note to the heavily masculine Patchouli.  Great as a unisex fragrance!
