My product formulation for handcrafted soaps consists of the following vegetable oils.

 

  • Olive oil helps skin maintain its natural moisture and softens skin to keep it supple.
  • Sweet almond oil is an excellent emollient to help soothe dry and irritated skin.
  • Palm oil contributes to a hard bar of soap and is mild in nature.
  • Coconut oil gives soap its lathering power and helps contribute to a hard bar.
  • Castor oil acts like a humectant and draws moisture from the air to skin. Can contribute to a creamy bar of soap.
  • Avocado Oil- contains vitamins a, d & e to help soothe drier skin types
  • Shea Butter- a moisturizing butter that helps to soothe dry skin. This butter melts upon skin contact.

At times I also use the following additives to impart exfoliation and provide a rich silky foaming lather.

  • Oatmeal- Oats- Milk & Honey Soap 
  • Poppy Seeds- Rosemary Mint Soap
  • Tussah silk fibers are contained in all soaps to provide a silky feeling to the lather

 

I utilize high quality fragrance and essential oils that are supplied by well known vendors within the soap making industry which allow you the consumer to experience the ultimate in shower aromatherapy session.

Living my life in color is a joy and I enjoy every session of designing the various soaps you see. The various colors I use are approved by the federal drug and cosmetic association. They are are safe to be used in a variety of body care formulations. Some colors are of higher intensities than others so I recommend the soap bars are used with a bath pouf or scrubbie.
