Fresh New Look: Lavender Breeze

Check out this new fresh design of Lavender Breeze!
I wanted to try something different with our best-selling Lavender Breeze soap. Same size, same scent but a fresh look. I wanted to make sure that this would be a hit so as usual I made a 1 pound test batch. Why 1 pound? It is a controlled measured batch while still being able to incorporate the fresh white swirls on this soap.

I made the same basic recipe of olive oil, coconut oil, palm oil, mango butter and castor oils, fragrance lavender and skin-safe colorant. The only tweek to this recipe was the added pinch of titanium dioxide to do the white swirls and top white layer. When it was time to pour my soap I decided to pour it ounce by ounce and in different angles in my mold. That’s the beauty of the incredible art form of making soap – you can’t get it wrong!

Once I was finished pouring all the oils like a Mama Bear I covered, wrapped and placed my soap to nestle for 24 hours to cure and do it’s magic. When I unmolded I was excited to see how it look in its entirety.

Mark your calendars! Ready Date: 9/29/11

Shaving Soap

Oatmeal, Milk & Honey Shaving Soap



Lovely round bar of shaving soap made with olive oil, palm oil, coconut oil and a little bit of castor oil for bubbly goodness.  Also added is Bentonite Clay.  Bentonite Clay is said to help lift impurities off the face and gives “slip” to the skin when shaving.

This bar of soap is scented with Brambleberry’s Oatmeal, Milk & Honey. It’s description reads, blended with utmost care, this is the perfect melding of three fabulous scents. Sweet and toasty, this is one soap that you’ll want to take a bite out of!
