On The Curing Rack

Since returning from a short vacation in the Natural State of Arkansas, I've made several batches of your favorite soaps that are now on the curing rack:

  • Lavender, Patchouli, & Cedarwood, AKA Romance in the Woods. This blend of essential oils combines the a fresh, sweet, floral, herbaceous aroma of lavender that is soothing and refreshing, Cedarwood essential oil known for its tranquilizing and soothing effects, and Patchouli, a distinct heavy, earthy, musty, sensuous scent—all this in a rich Olive Oil soap. Ingredients: saponified olive, coconut and palm oils, with added aloe vera and vitamin E, and grapefruit seed extract, plus lavender and patchouli herbals for texture.
  • Sweet Orange & Ginger. This Olive Oil soap is made to go with my new Goat's Milk Body Cream. I've added essential oils of Sweet Orange and Ginger and a sprinkling of orange peel to decorate the top. Sweet Orange has an uplifting aroma that helps to relax and balance the spirit. Ginger is sought after due to its aphrodisiac and stimulant properties. Made with my favorite Olive oil recipe which includes coconut, and palm kernel oils, vitamin E , castor and grape seed oils--and the essential oils, of course.
  • Avocado Soap. This is one of my most gentle soaps yet is often overlooked. Avocado oil penetrates the skin more deeply than other oils allowing it to transport nutrients through the outer epidermis of the skin and into the dermis for increased effectiveness. Avocado oil is great for all skin types, and is especially kind to mature, sensitive or troubled skin. Full of vitamins A, B, D, E, protein, and lecithin. Highly emollient with anti-wrinkle, anti-bacterial, and anti-oxidant properties. Anti-oxidants have been shown to slow the aging process. Ingredients include saponified Avocado Oil, Olive, Jojoba, Coconut, Palm, Caster Oils and vitamin E.
  • Peppermint & Rosemary. Scientific evidence shows that the aromatic Peppermint herb helps stimulate the body and mind. Rosemary essential oil has an overall stimulating and invigorating effect that works on both mental and physical levels as well; it is also a great antidepressant, antiseptic, and stimulant. Ingredients: saponified olive, coconut and palm oils, with added vitamin E, and grapefruit seed extract, crushed organic rosemary herbs.
  • Lavender & Rosemary Beneficial for treating blemishes, both lavender and rosemary herbs have a mild but stimulating effect on the skin. Lavender has a light sweet, captivating woodsy scent and Rosemary has a crisp, fresh aroma with a hint of a woodsy fragrance. Mix them together and you get an enchanting aura. Ingredients: Saponified oils of olive, coconut, palm, castor with essential oils of lavender and rosemary, lavender and rosemary leaves.

The above soaps should be ready for use by September 1st
