Contains coconut oil, olive oil, vegetable oil, Shea butter and mango butter.

Violet sugar petals fragrances soap. Not the pretty soap I was going for, unfortunately with high floral fragrances they don’t always play nicely with cold process soap, better suited for melt and pour in my opinion. We might just put this one as a ‘smells nice but looks ugly’ kinda soap. The way the oil behaved through making this will not alter the performance of the soap itself and when cured will actually smell rather floral like just to the eye it ain’t pretty 🤔

Neem and activated charcoal facial soap cut and curing! A high cleansing soap for acne prone skin. Cure time 6-8 weeks

28/03/2021

Jack of all trades soap cut and curing. No that’s not flowers it’s fennel seeds, aniseed and poppy seeds to help with the pumice to remove all grease and grim from hard working hands! On a base with activated charcoal, coconut oil, olive oil, cocoa butter to cleanse and condition without drying skin. Scented with orange, blood orange, peppermint and a hint of tea tree.
Cure time 6-8 weeks

28/03/2021

3 out of 10 soaps made today!
Violet sugar petals
Neem with activated charcoal facial soap and
Jack of all trades
Hope to have a couple more facial bars made by next weekend. I’ve had a few request for a hard working soap from guys who are farmers or mechanics so hopefully jack of all trades is what they were after!
Still working on some colour swirl soaps hopefully have these all done before the next market 😁

27/03/2021

Nearly all ready to get soaping! Have had to reformulate some recipes because my soap recipe book has gone for a walkabouts! My goal is 10 new soaps!

25/03/2021

Hoping Tyler will return home tomorrow with my package. I can’t wait to smell what watermelon lemonade smells like 😁

23/03/2021

HELLO! It’s been a while 😬 I tell ya there’s not enough hours in the day! If I’m not working I seem to be spending a lot of time driving 🤦🏽‍♀️ It’s looking like things are starting to settle back into a normal routine which means I think I have found some extra hours in my day to get soaping again! I have new tools and just waiting on a couple of new fragrances to arrive (in the next day or two) and then creations on!
Maddie will return to waka training and netball very soon so before her sports rush starts I will spend the time tidying up the website and page. Hope everyone is well 💞
