A new soap
I have just released a new soap, Winterfield. I love coming up with new soap ingredient or essential oil combinations and with this soap, I chose to go for a classic Mediterranean scent, lavender and rosemary. As I was releasing the soap in winter, I wanted it to have a 'comforting' feel, so I used extra rich and creamy oils including avocado, apricot kernel and hemp seed oils, to achieve a lovely smooth lather - perfect to counter the drying effects of a hot shower. Winterfield is gently coloured with green clay.
So, please feel free to visit the store to purchase some Winterfield of your own. Otherwise, you can follow my Facebook page (you may wish to select the setting to receive all of my notifications as otherwise you may find Facebook is something of a brat, not liking to share everything it should) to keep up to date with which markets I'll be at and when.
A tweaking of a favourite soap
Having sold out of the first batch of One Fine Summer, I quickly whipped up a new batch. I have kept the same oil content as the first batch, as this is a wonderful, creamy soap and I wanted to keep it that way. I have, however, switched the green to mica and added a splash of rose red (a mix of French pink clay and red oxide).
One Fine Summer still has that glorious scent - so hard to describe but it's like a citrusy floral, green and sweet. Here is a snap of the soap just poured into its mould. The colours will be be more subdued in the cured soap, of course, but how promising! Four long weeks to wait for this one, but let me know if you want to reserve a bar or two as this one gets snapped up quickly!
Sophisticated.
I love the smell of vetiver. It's a wonderfully complex, green and smokey scent and I have used it as the sole fragrance in the new soap Mister X... . This soap is also filled with some very good skin conditioning oils, including olive oil, olive pomace, shea oil and macadamia nut oil. I have also added some Mojave living clay, a mineral rich bentonite clay from the Mojave desert.
