Whole Soap Loaves For Sale

Lavender Twist

 I don't know why I haven't done this sooner. I am so fortunate that I have many loyal and repeat customers who buy the same soap repeatedly-3 or more bars at a time, and I feel really badly when they come to me for their favorite scent-and I only have 1 or 2 in stock-or even worse-completely sold out!

Cafe Mocha Loca

 To remedy that, I'm now offering 2.5 pound soap loaves on my indie site The Soap Seduction. For now, I'm only offering hot processed loaves because the cure time is virtually minimal, and I can turn these around very quickly. I'm loving the response so far. Soapers: something to think about if you don't already...

An All-Natural Soap

 

I L-O-V-E this soap...fo' real! I've decided to do an entire line of all-natural soaps. "Well, aint that what you already do?" Not entirely. I use synthetic fragrance oils (until you can prove to me that Lemon Chiffon comes from a plant, then it's synthetic), and man-made oxides in many of my products, but I think I should get some extra credit for using only pthalate-free fragrances. Anyway, here is my first official soap of the "Au Naturale" line. I call it Naturale 1106, but it smells so....natural and clean-like you would really expect a soap to smell if-you-know-what-I-mean. I can definitely say that my olfactory senses are becoming much more sophisticated and accustomed to the aroma of essential oils. At first, I could not stand the smell of any essential oil! They smelled like, well, plants! Duh! They are derived from plants, and pure essential oils are expen$ive as hell! I have to really budget for pure essential oils. The good thing about them is a little goes a long way. This batch was almost 3 pounds, and it only took 1.7 oz of pure essential oils to scent it-and it's strong! To the unsophisticated palate, it will smell very medicinal and plant-like. But the more you inhale the aromas, it sort of brings a calm to your overall senses. I'm smelling this one constantly. I cannot wait to try it!

Oh, I forgot to mention exactly which essential oils I used for this batch: rosemary, lime, and bergamot. The soap is uncolored, and the little brownish streak you see throughout is actually rhassoul clay-mined deep beneath the Atlas Mountains in Eastern Morocco*.

Groovy Man...Soap!

One of my blog buddies, CC Groovy, who happens to be a man, commented on one of my blog posts the other day something to the effect of, "Why don't you make any stuff for men?" Well, CC, this one's for you...and all the other mens out there.

After inhaling the scent for a few days, this one could actually go both ways. It's very clean and fresh-like sun-dried laundry, but it definitely has a masculine edge. I chose blue as the color because, well, I wanted the soap to be as "masculine" as possible. It looks like a pair of well-worn denim jeans. Sadly, I doubt I'll be able to make another batch of this one because the fragrance has been discontinued, and I don't know what all the notes were. Anyway, CC, hit me up, so I can send you a bar...on me!
