New hot process (and cold) soaps for Soapa! Featuring: Man Swirl

Find us at the Etsy link to the right and on Pinterest. All of my soaps are small batch hand milled so no two soaps are exactly alike and will have imperfections. Also, you may have to shake the lotion as it too is all natural. Small price to pay for luxury beeswax lotion - am I right!? (yeah, i'm right) Man swirl is cold-process soap with activated charcoal. Detoxifying. Yellow Calendula petals inbedded in the soap create a luxurious bath experience. Swirls for men soap has activated charcoal and looks like a hunk of asphalt. However the soap feels as smooth as silk on  the skin and face for shaving. The soap smells fresh and clean. Bright like the morning sun and the bathroom light upon awakening. I call this soap "Clown." This soap reminds me of the circus clowns. It has a strong fragrance profile. Fresh.

Stonehenge Soap

Re batch w/ BCOw/Sulfur  soap added. I re batched yesterday, soap scraps and a few hunks of CBO w/ sulfur. Needless to say the CBO colored the whole pot of soap and stunk to high heavens because of the sulfur. Well, I added fragrance X2 but still had to rub fragrance on each bar and ball. The fragrance soaks in as the soap cures. I cooked it a very long time and added tea and water to get a smoother appearance. Re batch soap is usually very rustic in appearance if it is not re-hydrated. It is clay-like on the inside and crumbly around the edges. It is very cleansing and moisturizing. Castor oil is good for the skin. Since the soap is just for us to use around here, it's okay about the smell. Black tea infused Castor oil is a hair remedy I make but after, there is a lot of tea soaked Castor oil left behind so I make soap out of it. Next time I will not put sulfur in the whole batch, just the amount I will use. Sulfur is good for the skin in that is anti-fungal. Our bodies nee
