Homemade Soap Collection

I love nature and have a great passion for health and wellness - all of it inspired me to create my unique collection of handmade soaps the very old fashioned way - the best way!

TRADITIONAL METHOD OF MAKING MY SOAPS

I use the traditional process method they used in the good old days called the "old fashioned cold process of making soap". This allows the ingredients to stay at a low temperature to guarantee all soaps keep their therapeutic properties. Cold process soap is made by combining high quality butters, oils with other botanical beneficial ingredients and lye, which causes a chemical reaction called saponification. With no saponification there is no successful result. The whole cold process of making my soaps takes 6 long weeks before soap is ready to use. It is a very unique art of soap making and spa craft.

Soap making is not just a hobby, it is not just a skill - to me it is an art. Each single soap bar I create is visually attractive providing pure joy to your body and your soul.

I love handcrafting my very unique soap art pieces - I really do. The feedback I get encourages me to continue my soap adventure. All my family members, friends and clients say - their skin is soft, nourished, moisturized and no residue left, pure clean freshness with sensation left by natural essential oils, herbs and petals of flowers.

INGREDIENTS I USE TO MAKE MY SOAPS

My policy is not to use in crafting my soaps any ingredient that we people wouldn't eat and this is why my soaps literally feed your skin. All my handmade and homemade soaps are all made of organic, vegan natural ingredients. I design them with love and passion to beautify and nourish your skin, your body and your soul. They all are very mild and gentle to your skin, loaded with soothing and calming benefits and full of many more healing powers providing amazing moisturizing and healing effects. My soaps offer healthy, safe and comprehensive body care, and above all, are very friendly to the skin and the environment.

I am here to create luxury, natural and beautiful handmade soaps, you are here to enjoy them as you deserve it! My little art creations - my soap beauties are the best skin food at their finest. Each bar is scented with an all-natural complex blend of healing essential oils providing the best aromatherapy. A touch of bentonite clay gently detoxes your skin and heals minor skin irritations.

Specific ingredients used to create certain kind of handmade soap, they are listed in the description of each soap in my webshop >>HERE<< - of course different ingredients for each one soap and then I add also diverse ground botanical particles, lavender buds, flax seeds, oats, kaolin clay, aloe vera powder, dry herbs, flower blooming (mostly petals) authentic 100% African shea butter, sustainable organic, vegan mix of powerful plant oils like olive oil, avocado oil, jojoba oil, almond oil, hemp seed oil, coconut oil, walnut oil, sunflower oil, castor oil, flax oil. I use only high quality oils which are known for their nourishing qualities. Other ingredients in my soaps are: organic almond milk, therapeutic grade essential oils, phthalate free fragrance oils*, lye* but ..... the most important magical and powerful ingredients I use to craft my soaps are LOVE, PASSION and of course .... eye of newt ;)

No animal fats, SLS, detergents, or harsh chemicals. Just pure organic vegan premium grade ingredients.

LIST OF INGREDIENTS I USE VERY OFTEN IN MY SOAPS IS BELOW (each soap is different):

LAVENDER- is an ancient herb with profound effects on most skin types. Not only does it revitalize and tone but it is an aid for acne prone skin, psoriasis, boils, sunburns, and oily skin. It calms and soothes the nerves when used in aromatherapy. PEPPERMINT - Peppermint leaves a cooling sensation – a benefit attributed to the numbing properties of its primary component, menthol – that can help heal and soothe minor irritations. In addition, Peppermint gives skin an instant boost upon contact. OATS especially moisturize and help to soothe irritated skin. Oats particles are great for a gentle and mild revitalizing exfoliating action FLAX SEED particles are great for a gentle and mild revitalizing exfoliating action FLAXSEED OIL is extremely beneficial for chronic skin conditions, such as rosacea, acne, dermatitis, eczema or psoriasis, the fatty acids act to balance out the skin's own oils and reduce any inflammation, helping the skin to repair. SHEA BUTTER - high concentrations of fatty acids and vitamins make shea butter an ideal cosmetic ingredient for softening skin. Shea butter also has anti-inflammatory and healing properties. Using shea butter on your body, especially your face, can condition, tone, and soothe your skin.

ALOE VERA Butter is an extraction of Aloe Vera plant using a fatty coconut fraction to produce a soft solid, which melts on contact with the skin. It aids in rapid hydration of dry skin caused by eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, sunburn, windburn, and general chapping. Aloe Vera Butter aids in rapid hydration of dry skin caused by eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, sunburn, windburn, and general chapping, treats acne, is full of Anti-aging properties and significantly reduces stretch marks and wrinkles. HEMP OIL helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles as well as prevent signs of aging from developing. The linoleic acid and oleic acids found in hemp oil can't be produced by the body but can play a crucial role in skin health and anti-aging, so they're important nutrients to add to the diet. JOJOBA OIL has anti-inflammatory properties which help to tame chafing and chapping, reduce redness caused by drying, ease the effects of eczema and rosacea, and keep skin calm and comfortable. The Vitamin E and B-complex vitamins in the Jojoba Oil help in skin repair and damage control.

COCONUT OIL may be linked to some potential benefits for skin, including reducing inflammation, keeping skin moisturized and helping heal wounds. The medium-chain fatty acids found in coconut oil also possess antimicrobial properties that can help treat acne and protect the skin from harmful bacteria.

WALNUT OIL is high in both vitamins and minerals. It works wonders on the skin and is highly recommended for people who want flawless and ageless skin.

OLIVE OIL may help prevent premature signs of aging on the skin. Olive oil acts as an antioxidant, which is a substance that prevents oxidation. Oxidation is a process that can produce free radicals, which are chemicals that can potentially damage cells and may contribute to cancer development.

AVOCADO OIL contains a high percentage of Vitamin E, as well as potassium, lecithin, and many other nutrients which can nourish and moisturize your skin. The oleic acid also promotes collagen production, which helps grow new skin. This accelerates the healing process, helping with issues like sunburn.

ALMOND OIL gentle nature and sweeping list of minerals and vitamins offer solutions for nearly every common skin concern. It is rich in vitamin E, monounsaturated fatty acids, proteins, potassium and zinc. It is extremely mild and hypoallergenic, so it is safe to use directly, even on sensitive skin. Provides a great combination of properties: moisturizing, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. ALOE VERA extract - it contains antioxidants, enzymes, Vitamins A and C, and it is highly anti-inflammatory. It can help treat burns, acne and dry skin. Aloe Vera works best on superficial surface acne rather than cystic or deeper acne. Aloe vera extract helps in naturally increasing the production of collagen in the body, which further helps in reducing the visible signs of ageing such as fine lines and wrinkles. Collagen helps in decreasing the wrinkles and helps in skin tightening. It also improves the elasticity of skin.

KAOLIN CLAY - has been used for centuries to absorb excess oil from the skin, preventing breakouts before they begin. It's also perfect for helping to restore skin that's been damaged by frequent outbreaks of acne. Some have found that regular use helps to balance their skin's oil production, reducing oily skin symptoms.

I try my hardest to duplicate batches - it is not always possible so please allow for slight variations.

* Fragrance oils: fragrance oils I use are certified by the The International Fragrance Association in Geneva to ensure compliance to high premium quality standards. The fragrance oils consist of considerable amounts of botanical lignans which are the best source of naturally occurring organic ingredients used to create this soap: vitamin E, vitamin A and revitalizing your skin botanical hormones with their beauty powers. * Lye: old fashioned way of making handmade soap also required liquid solution of potash (lye), which is mined salt containing potassium. The name POTASH derives from "pot ash", which refers to plant ashes from winter fires soaked in water in a pot, the primary means of manufacturing the product before the industrial era. FYI: The is no soap without few drops of sodium hydroxide (lye) which reacts with plant oils creating proces of saponification - "turning into soap"
