Soaps

I make my soaps using the cold process soapmaking method.  I use vegetable oils (olive, palm, coconut, castor), melted to approx 120-140 deg. F, mixed with a lye solution that's slightly cooler, and stir it in the pot until it begins to look like vanilla pudding.  Add herbs, clays, colours, essential oils, fragrance, stir well, and pour into the appropriate mold! 

There are many excellent sources on the internet for further information on the therapeutic qualities of the various herbs and essential oils which I add to my products.  Please feel free to e-mail me at porcupin93@gmail.com with any questions you may have regarding the ingredients.

Special requests and orders are accepted!  Please contact me to discuss any special ingredients you would like to be blended in to a product.
