One Day

It has been one year I have been making soaps. Exactly one year before, I took a day off to make soaps. I sent my girls to school/crèche and I decided to give it  a try and to see if I am able to make a soap .  Since that moment, making soaps has become not only a hobby, but also an addiction, a passion, a refugee, an anti-stress remedy,  a friend, a holiday and a welcome pause in the rush of daily life.

I want to thank all of you for the time spent looking at my soaps and for your lovely words!

Soap made of: coconut oil, red palm oil, olive oil, safflower oil, castor oil, shea butter, carrot juice, activated charcoal, clary sage essential oil and orange essential oil.

Bedankt Mark voor de mooie foto’s.

Graduate Colours Soaps

I believe this is my favourite challenge…because of its simplicity. I found the blue soap made by Amy so lovely that I couldn’t wait trying my own gradure colours soap. As for the previous technique I had to use colorants, this time I was content to use only natural ingredients. My first experience: red clay and carrotjuice scented with niaouli, as I wanted this soap to be a facial one. Maybe I should have started with a darker colour …What I like is the fact the colour changes from dark to light without seeing the layers.

The second trial was with activated charcoal and unscented. I have never used this miracle before, so I am pretty content to have my own facial bar made of charcoal.
Thank you Amy for having this opportunity of trying these lovely techniques.

Merci Gene pour le prêt des tampons!
