Pictures of Soaps We Have Made

We have been working on increasing our supply of homemade soaps. We are hoping to get some advertising done before the Christmas and also go to at least one craft fair. So here some pictures of what we have been making.

First will be our glycerine soaps.

Here are lavender bars, these were the very first soaps we made

Isn't this a beautiful presentation (Alicia set this up and shot it herself)

This is Plumeria (think Hawaii, Alooooooooooooooooha!)

Here is MelonCucumber, quite refreshing

Next is Peach Jubilee, smells almost good enough to eat!

This is Lavender Rose with some small rose petals in it

(not sure if we will do this again)

Here we have Ylang Ylang Vanilla, very romantic smelling

Finally in the glycerine soaps, we have Rose Vanilla, again with little pieces of rose petals in it

Now we have our lye soap collection.

This was our very first lye soap, we call it TeaTreeMint, it has already become pretty popular. It is made from Red Palm oil, coconut oil, and olive oil; for the scents we used, Tea Tree, Sweet Thyme, Peppermint and Clary Sage. It has a wonderfully clean, refreshing smell, that is not overpowering.

This is Almond, one of my favorite scents

Here is my experiment, it is Coconut Chocolate, it smells absolutely delicious!Here is one that was just made yesterday. This is what it looks like before it is cut. (it made about 40 bars of soap) This has become my new favorite. I call it Sandlewood Bay for Men. I can't wait to have my husband use this.

If you have any suggestions for different soaps just let us know. We are always looking for new ideas for scents. If you would be interested in any of our soaps please contact us .

Soap Making

Boy, were we busy this week. My two youngest daughters are starting their own business, so we got to work building up their product base and supplies. We shopped on line for our supplies and and spent Monday and Tuesday making it. We made lye soap and glycerin soaps on Monday, dish soap, clothes soap and softener on Tuesday. Tuesday and Wednesday we received shipments of most of their supplies and should receive the rest next week. We will make another batch of lye soap and glycerin soap on Monday and turn this weeks soap on Tuesday. We will try to make a batch of lye soap every week until we have a good supply. We received some small soap molds so we can make samples of the glycerin soap to give away to see what people prefer. Ralph has developed an flyer for them. We just need to check and see if we can register the name of their company. They are working hard to earn money to buy supplies, as well as putting the soaps together. I am really proud of them for having an entrepeneurial spirit.
