Handmade Soap Lavender Scrub

Thu, 14 Jan 2010 10:25:43 -0800

Lovely handbuilt soap embedded with lavender. All bars are over 3 oz by quite a few slashes some are 3.5 oz. The fresh scent of real lavender permeates the bar.

Eliza Doolittle: she cleaned up real good.

‘Oh wuuudn’t it be loverly.’

Well yes, it is!

Hand milled, hot processed handmade soap, not from a commercial base.

Each batch is made from scratch using a special formula of lye and a specific weight of calculated oils to provide lots of lather and lots of mildness. Raw ingredients are used the old fashioned way. These bars retain their natural glycerin and each batch is enriched with Shea Butter and Olive Oil. This soap is not made from a base, it is not melt and pour. These bars are cured specifically according to the hot process method.

All my soaps are plant based, never animal fat and I only use high quality scenting oils. I use a bar from each batch for quality control. Please try to keep your soap completely dry between uses to keep it hard and long-lasting.

Ingredients are as stated above including but not only coconut oil, safflower oil and soy oil

saponified lye
