Eucalyptus Wheat Grass Soap

Again, i have made this eucalyptus ~ This time i selfish again, not enough powder i put, therefore, the soap isn't green. Quite sad. Anyway, it looks nice also. Since i have made this before, so i'm not going to describe more. Let's check the ingredients and photos! 

Ingredients:-

1. 100% Pure Olive Oil
2. Palm Oil
3. Coconut Oil
4. Sweet Almond Oil
5. Lye
6. Water
7. Wheat Grass Powder
8. Eucalyptus Essential Oil

Now show you all the outcome, i do over trace always. But now on, i think i'm not going to do this way anymore. That is because, over trace soap come out with a lot bubbles when it is in liquid form, after saponification, the soap not silky smooth enough. Well, do not worry about the quality of soap. It does not change according to the bubbles less or more. It is just personal likes.

Benefits of Eucalyptus Essential Oil

3. Has anti-bacteria and antiseptic properties
4. Treat lice and skin infections

Beware!

Blue Peppermint Soap

Good day everyone, this time have brought a new kind of soap here to share - Blue Peppermint Soap. Unfortunately, it's not blue at all. Quite disappointed although the time i mixing oils with blue clay powder already can foresee the colour wont be blue. Just did not expected that the colour not sharp. I mean not green not grey not blue.. I have no idea what colour they are.. I called them ash. Ash colour.. Sigh!

Let's see the ingredients: -

1. 100% Pure Olive Oil
2. Palm Oil
3. Coconut Oil
4. Sweet Almond Oil
5. Lye
6. Water
7. Peppermint Essential Oil
8. Blue Clay Powder

You can see that my ingredients are always the same. I just make changes in EO and powder. Sometimes i will change the oils to achieve different result. 

Peppermint EO has mint odour like eucalyptus. Some of you might don't like this. I am not prefer this smell. But the effect of this EO is quite attractive.

Let me show you the benefits of Peppermint EO. Like the most other EO, peppermint is able to provide depression and mental exhaustion due to its refreshing nature. It is also effective against anxiety and restlessness. Furthermore, it stimulates mental activity, clears mind and increase focus on cognitive tasks.

Studies have shown that vapor of peppermint can increase blood circulation and lead to oxygenate the body's organs and increase metabolism, as well as oxygenate the brain. 

Peppermint EO is also very useful for hair care as it gives a cooling effect to the head while removing dandruff and lice. It has antiseptic, regenerative and stimulating effects, which means that it can relieve the scalp of irritation and dry skin, stimulate hair growth for those suffering from baldness, and give relatively healthy hair a shinny, fresh look. 

It is good for skin also because peppermint oil contains menthol which creates a cooling sensation. Furthermore, it nourishes dull skin and improves the texture of oily or greasy skin.

Please take note that there are some risks in using too much peppermint oil including allergic reaction, heartburn and headaches. 

There you are, this time i have choose single mold instead of toast mold. Have been a long time i didn't use this well. Haha.. Now you can see, the soap is not blue ~ ~ ~ Blue clay i have used can wash impurities away. Normally used in the treatment of oily and problematic skin. They regulates sebum flow, cleanses hair follicles and dissolves impurities on the skin as well.

After keep warm for 24 hours, here is the result. Not bad right. It is just NOT BLUE. (T_T)

Those houses looks cute! Prepared for christmas goodies. So, see you again in short! Tata ~

The odour was too light, once they are mixed together with oils, the sweet smell gone! I asked, although the smell wouldn't be strong, but the effects of the EO still present right? They said - YES! So, i started. *Yeah*

Lavender Purple Gromwell Soap

Hi, glad to see you again, really. Have been so sad on the failed honey soap, until today, i saw my dearly infused oil, then i dare to start again. Hopefully, would be a good one.

Purple Gromwell Root has been used as a natural dye in this soap which bring purple colour in soap. They have used for herbal medicine in some country due to the extraordinary healing and anti-inflammatory properties and is used for soothing and healing skin wounds as well.

At first stage, we shall infused with pure olive oil. 

Here you are: -

Now, let's begin with the soap making. Start from ingredients again.

Ingredients:-

1. Purple Gromwell Root Infused Olive Oil
2. Coconut Oil
3. Palm Oil
4. NaOH
5. Water
6. Lavender Essential Oil

Here is the oil colour when i'm heated up.

Can you see how beautiful is the colour? I love them very much! Most important - this is natural colour from a plant root! Not manufacturing colouring. This is what i most care in my soap. Although i would have think of making beautiful colouring soap with manufacturing powder sometimes. But, aikz! It's confusing me. 

And this is the outcome with Lavender EO added.

Some lavender buds added. Just to make it prettier and i can recognize my soap easier! ^^

Sweet purple at this stage, still waiting to see the colour after 24 hours! *Excited* 

I hope they are nice, and please don't spoiled again!!!

Oh, i think i have left out the benefits of Lavender Essential Oil in this soap!

Well, lavender essential oil is the most beneficial oils in treatment of acne. They have properties in antiseptic and antifungal. Teenagers would be the ones who face this problem the most as well as adult. Lavender EO inhibits the bacteria that cause the initial infection and reduce the signs of scarring after the acne has begun to heal. 

There is a lot of benefits else from this EO, but i would love their function in reduce mental stress and anxiety. Furthermore, it is a bug repellent! The smell of lavender EO is potent for many types of bugs such as mosquitoes and moth. 

Therefore, this soap is suitable for those who facing acne problems, with aczema or sensitive skin.  

Even if you think Lavender EO is a wonderful miracle cure, please be careful!!

As with many EO, pregnant and breastfeeding women should avoid using.

It also recommended that diabetes patients to avoid also.

Person that have unusually sensitive skin may allergic to this EO too.

Ok, see you again in next soap. ^^v

Honey Ginger Soap 2 - End (Failed)

A sad news to share. Sigh.. This whole soap have failed.. Why? I really don't know. Some says is the temperature problem, some says might caused by the honey. Well, i feel is the honey too as i have changed the honey only if compare to last one. This honey might be not pure therefore have affected the saponification process. 

I have nothing to say. Throw them all into dustbin and sad that's all i could.

Is ok, just make it again after i went for the last time used honey. I bought from a auntie which said it is pure. And now we all know, yes it is.

Here is the pictures, quite disgusting. But i would like to show to all, in case your soap have went to this, please proceed to dustbin. It cannot be use. 

Said to self, come on cheer up, you can make it better. 

# Failure is the beginning of success! #

Rose Himalayan Pink Rock Salt Soap - End

Hi, here is the outcome of Rose Himalayan Pink Rock Salt !

Surprisingly, there are easier to unmold compare to the other olive oil made soap!

Now we just have to put it for 45 days then enjoy bath time with it ~ Oh! Don't forget to check pH ya ~ And there is one more benefits of salt soap - more bubbles than olive oil one because the content of coconut oil is the most in this soap.

Well, hope you like it ! ^_^v

Rose Himalayan Pink Rock Salt Soap

Hello everyone, this time i would like to share a new soap - Salt Soap. 

A good salt soap can stimulates the body, remove dull and dead skin as well as exfoliation. Daily toxin can be remove also while cleansing your skin pores.

Ok, my ingredients: - 

1. Coconut Oil - Cleansing.
2. Sweet Almond Oil - Nourishing, Revitalizing, Moisturizing.                                     *Have light texture which mean easily absorbed.
3. Castor Oil - For acne, eczema rashes skin uses
4. NaOH
5. Water
6. Rose Geranium Essential Oil - Anti-aging.
7. Himalayan Pink Rock Salt - Exfoliation.

Well, actually the process is exactly the same as what we used to do in past. But there is a little different too. After we mix up the oils and lye solution, we must not stir for too long, once they are equally mixed then we could add in the essential oil follow by salt. Then stir again. Remember, the solution must not be too trace. If it is really too trace, then you would have your risk when you pour them into mold. 

This is how they looks like:-

 

Once you feel the soap is trace, pour them into molds. 

Well, single molds suggested. Why do i say so? There is a very tricky problem in cutting salt soap - TIME. Until now, i have no idea what time exactly i should cut the soap. Some says not more than 3 hours, some says within 7 hours. If you have missed the best time to cut, you will result in pieces. Therefore, if you have not confident enough to make sure you could cut them nicely, choose this kind of single molds. 

That's all for today, Good Night. (n_n) 

* Wheat Grass Field *

Hello, everyone, a very happy moment to share. ^^ Last soap making had a failed dressing, this time, a little bit improvement, the dressing didn't going down after 24 hours! Yay! I still don't know how to handle that soap well, sometimes it's too trace and hard to pour out, sometimes it's too light until the dressing cannot be. Sigh... Ya still a long way to go, practice make perfect! So, try again and again and again!

Start from the ingredients again, this time i have mix two types of olive oil as one of my soap user with damn dry skin complain that the 100% pure olive oil made soap is still not moisture enough to her skin, i have use half 100% pure and half extra virgin instead of all extra virgin because soap fully made by extra virgin olive oil will caused it too soft in the process of using. 

Ingredients : -

1. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2. 100% Pure Olive Oil
3. Palm Oil
4. Coconut Oil
5. NaOH
6. Diluted Water
7. Rosemary Essential Oil
8. Wheatgrass Powder

Rosemary EO actually suitable to use on hair washing. Therefore, this soap can be use to wash hair, but! definitely no suitable for person who has oily head skin and dandruff problem. Hair fall problem could be solve because this EO has a ability to stimulate hair growth. Furthermore, it can boost mental activity, which mean can wake you up in the early morning. When your brain is tired, by inhaling the smell of this EO could lifts your spirit immediately! Oh, it can increase your concentration also. It relieve respiratory problems, reduce pain, relief stress and etc.

Wheat grass powder have an effect on stimulate skin renewal which means even you got wound, it helps in recovering better. It could reduce your skin itchy making it a good cleanser also. 

The process, you could check from the very first post named Handmade Ginger Organic Soap as the process is exactly the same. Just the pouring part is different cos this time i pour in two colours layer by layer and last add on the green-ish dressing which used wheat grass powder as colourant. 

Here is the result: 

Then, i have watched a video from youtube which make them into cupcake pattern. So, copycat i choose to be. i used those left to make this three - no waste.

Here is the one: 

Ok that's all. Thank you for viewing again. Hope you like it.

*****After 24 Hours*****

They are so cute isn't it. Love the cupcakes style very much! I think i gonna learn this more. See ya! ^^ 

* Rose Hips Beach Party *

Hi, a brand new soap again! Partially success, why i said partial, because of the dressing that i first made, erm.. kind of weird. Well, good try anyway! *Hand claps to myself* Last post, i have promised to make a Frankincense Almond Soap, but then i have decided to change my mind when one of my friend required for this kind of "special" soap. As she said, my previous soap is not good looking, she means - too simple, whereas may of her friends had made a lot of beautiful soap which looks tasty than mine. Therefore, i planned to have a try! 

Ok, now let's get start from ingredients : -

1. 100% Pure Olive Oil
2. Palm Oil
3. Coconut Oil
4. NaOH 
5. Diluted Water
6. Frankincense EO
7. Rose Hips Powder
8. Cocoa Powder

Why Frankincense EO? Frankincense has a sweet, warm, balsamic aroma that is stimulating and elevating to the mind. Useful for visualizing, improving one's spiritual connection and centering, it has comforting properties that help focus the mind and overcome stress and despair. Hence, it's everyone needs i think.

Next, Rose Hips Powder. It is a rich source of Vitamin C which needed by our skin in terms of whitening, firming and anti-aging. Meanwhile, the contain anti-inflammatory components too.

Here is the outcome : - 

That's all for today, i hope i have improved my "dressing" skill in next soap. See ya !
