Curcuma Longa Soap

Every one making soaps has at least once tried this powder in soap. This magical spice seems to be a treasure for our health.

Curious to see the variety of colours one can obtain using it,  I made 2 different layers containing different quantities of  turmeric. It’s a real pity that the nice rose colour, beautiful as it was,  started to fade away as soon as the chemical reaction between lye and turmeric started .  I am curious if this rose colour resists when making MP soap…

This soap contains: grapeseed oil, coconut oil, palm oil, sunflower oil, olive oil, castor oil, cacao butter, turmeric powder, Litsea Cubeba essential oil.

Falling For Autumn

 Autumn is by far my favourite season…

It has a particular beauty: the changing colour of the leaves, the crisping sound when walking through them, the touching  emotion of the rain, the rich colourfull fruits , the  unique  smell of the air …all these make you think of a kind of resignation, of a deep silence  …When you look around outside and you see the woods and countryside, you can loose yourself in their beauty. The summer heat is gone, but the lights and colours give the kind of warmth which I like most !

Let’s make more time to admire this queen of the seasons!

Soap made of: grapeseed oil, coconut oil, palm oil, sunflower oil, olive oil, almond oil, shea butter, goat milk.

The yellow part is made of turmeric powder and scented with Litsée Citronnée essential oil, while the velvet-brown part has for its colour walnut seedcoat extract and for its fragrance the Mandarin essential oil.
