More Finished Soaps - Oct/23/2010

While we were "decorating" yesterday with the icing, I had a few prior slices and cupcakes that I needed to tend to as well.  This post will show you some of the other finished soaps that we will have available in our Etsy soap shop on November 1, 2010.

The first one is Café au lait.  This soap is made with real brewed coffee - no other scents or colorants - just pure coffee.  Inside the soap slices are bits of "coffee scrubs" that make this bar great to use on your "outdoor" hands.  Also, coffee soap is great for getting rid of fishy and even garlic-y smells on your hands.  This was soaped on Oct/18/2010 and will be cured out and ready to use on Nov/15/2010. Since I used the "Cold Process/Oven Process" the soap will not need as long of a time to cure.

Now, here's our "Expresso Coffee Scrubs" soap - it's made with strong expresso coffee and lots of ground coffee for the exfoliation properties.  Not only will this soap scrub off the dead skin, it will also help to eliminate strong odors from your hands.  This is a great soap for fishermen and hunters or even cooks who want to get rid of onion and garlic odors.  This loaf was soaped on Oct/16/2010 and will be ready to use on Nov/13/2010 (CP/OP).  The ingredients for this soap (Vegan) is Coconut, Olive, Canola, Castor and Soybean oils and Expresso Coffee and coffee grounds.  There are no other added colorants or fragrances.

Now this next soap is just awesome - I love it!  Introducing "Pink Grapefruit" - this soap has such a pretty color and a light to medium grapefruit fragrance with a touch of sweet sugar cookie.  The smell is clean and not overbearing.  The oils used in this soap are Coconut, Olive, Canola, Soybean and Palm oils and Lard.  It is a nice hard bar of soap and should be very moisturizing.  In addition to the "icing", there is a sprinkle of cosmetic glitter on the top.  It was soaped on Oct/11/2010 and should be ready to use on Nov/22/2010 after a 6 week curing time.  I think you're really going to like this one!

I just love the scent of Plumeria... so I had to create a soap for it!  I choose purple... it just seemed to be the logical choice LOL!  But what I didn't expect is that the scent would remind me of grapes so much.... I don't know if it's really the scent or just the effect of seeing the purple bar and expecting the soap bar to smell like grapes.  So, I've named this soap "Grape Plumeria".... The scent is awesome - it's a medium scent and just smells so cool.  This soap contains Coconut, Olive, Canola, Soybean and Palm oils and Lard.  Some cosmetic glitter on top adds a bit of sparkle that we love so much.  It was soaped on Oct/11/2010 and should be ready to use on Nov/22/2010 after a 6 week curing time.

Hope you've enjoyed the pics!
