Anyone for Green Tea - Naturally of course

At last my latest creation is complete. With all the different types, colours and fragrances to choose from I just felt the need to create without them all. I love my "Traditional Soaps" and certainly have my favourites, what can I say, just can't help myself, English Rose, Sandalwood and Naturally Nettle are my personal choice to use.
Armed with botanicals, nourishing butters, and skin loving oils I got creating. 

I chose "Green Tea" due to it's positive properties concerning she skin.

I really am chuffed at the natural colour and effect, glad I decided on "Natural" :-)

Traditionally Made Nettle Soap.

As many of you know I have been making a new soap, I decided I wanted it as natural as possible but with some added natural benefits. The decision was to use botanical's which are know to help in many medical conditions. 
With the said Nettle Soap made, cut and dried the next step was to show you all.

Here is my Naturally Nettle Soap.

Fragrance free with natural exfoliants :o)

Handmade Cold Process Soap - Lavender

My latest creation is my Lavender Soap
I wanted a very mild fragrance but nice and natural, so my choice was Cold Process using Essential Oil and Naturally Dried Lavender. I wasn't sure at first if i was going to colour it but i have been dying to use the Alkanet i have, so i just jumped in!

The Alkanet was infused in oil until it was a nice deep colour then it was strained and mixed in the soap mixture.
It is great having a totally natural Soap :o)

*If you use natural colours infused in oil, like Alkanet, you must account for the oil in your recipe*

Cold Process English Rose Soap Slices

My holiday is now over and with tomorrow being back to school day i can now get back to basics. I have my new English Rose CP Soap Sliced Wrapped and Tested, hmm may need to err test another hehe ;o)
Im somewhat old fashion in my favourite fragrances.

English Rose i adore and i total love Lavender. I find them both soothing and relaxing fragrances. I like most florals and fruity fragrances but i have my favourites.
I wasnt sure i was going to be happy with how this one turned out but i am. Halfway through a bar it smells just the same as when i first started it, yep! thats how i like it.It has a lovely soft silky feel to the lather and leaves the faint rose fragrance behind. ( Just perfect for me )
Well i have another to sort out and some new bath bombs so back to work i go.
Happy Crafting!!
