Ginger Pepper Citrus Musk Essential Oil Natural Soap

I've blended ginger, black pepper and an array of citrus essential oils including orange, lemon, lime and grapefruit to make up this essential oil delight.Those burgundy stripes you see are musk fragrance oil. The scent is wonderful together!

Here's a couple of things these essential oils have been said to help with:

Ginger oil is used in the treatment of fractures, rheumatism, arthritis, bruising, carbuncles, nausea, hangovers, travel and sea sickness, colds and flu, catarrh, congestion, coughs, sinusitis, sores on the skin, sore throat, diarrhea, colic, cramps, chills and fever.

Black Pepper is a warming oil can be used to great effect to help circulation and bruising and specifically to help with muscle tone, aching limbs and rheumatoid arthritis. It further helps to promote digestion, the colon as well as the kidneys.

Orange oil can be used effectively on the immune system, as well as for colds and flu and to eliminate toxins from the body.It is a good diuretic and is most useful in balancing water retention and obesity. Its lymphatic stimulant action further helps to balance water processes, detoxification, aiding the immune system and general well-being.

Lemon oil can be very beneficial to the circulatory system and aids with blood flow, reducing blood pressure and helping with nosebleeds. It can help bring down fever, helps relieve throat infections, bronchitis, asthma and flu. It boosts the immune system and cleanses the body, improves the functions of the digestive system, and it is helpful with constipation, dyspepsia and cellulite. Lemon oil soothes and relieves headaches and migraines and is helpful for rheumatism and arthritis. It is also used for clearing acne, cleaning greasy skin and hair, as well as removing dead skin cells, easing painful cold sores, mouth ulcers, herpes and insect bites.

Lime oil is useful to cool fevers associated with colds, sore throats and flu and aids the immune system while easing coughs, bronchitis and sinusitis, as well as helping asthma. Lime oil can stimulate and refresh a tired mind and helps with depression. It can be helpful for arthritis, rheumatism and poor circulation, as well as for obesity and cellulite and has an astringent and toning action to clear oily skin and acne, and also helps with herpes, insect bites and cuts.

Grapefruit has a high vitamin C content and is therefore valuable to the immune system. It helps protect against colds and flu, has a very positive effect on obesity and also has diuretic properties, helping to remove excess water from the body and is therefore also great for treating cellulite. It has an uplifting effect on the mood and helps with stress and depression. It is used with great success to combat muscle fatigue and stiffness while stimulating the lymphatic system and thereby clearing the body of toxins. It helps to clear congested oily skin and also assists with acne, while toning the skin and tissues. Grapefruit is used in hair care to promote hair growth.

Amber and Sandalwood Polka Dot Handmade Natural Soap

This soap is made using the hot process method. It's an amber base colored gold from the mica with brown indian sandalwood liberally placed thoughout. It smells very, very good. The amber makes it smell sweeter and the sandalwood brings it right back down to earth. It's a great scent for men and women alike. It looks so nice too! Enriched with jojoba oil and shea butter for your skin to drink in the moisture.

I use my soap as shampoo bars as well. It's a fun way to get clean from head to toe in one fell swoop ~ schwooosh! I then use a (very light) jojoba oil, shea butter and avocado butter mixture about every three days. I have very long, curly, unmanageable, frizzy, gnarly hair... and it actually pleases me. Not to mention no chemicals left to leech their way into my scalp! See how I smile in my pic? All because of natural remedies :-)

My method: Lather up a wash cloth really REALLY good and squeeze it out onto your hair. This is easier then trying to lather your hands and then transfer. Scrub it up and use the remainder for your body. Close your eyes for the hair part though - or ouch! Then rinse and you are all done. You've saved water, time and smell great too. Ah…

*I only use my 'plain' soap bars for shampoo bars. I don't use any soaps that have clay, oatmeal, coffee, poppy seeds, flowers, herbs… etc. You get the picture right? I don't want anything leftover hanging around making me look silly. I can do that on my own!

You will receive 1 bar approximately 4+ ounces. Some bars weigh as much as 5.5 oz and these bars will go first. I am a terrible cutter, but I try...

It's good to let your soap air out between uses for a longer lasting bar. Store your handmade soaps in a cool dry place letting them breathe. I cut mine in quarters to make them last longer :-) and this way I can use a different soap everyday - yay me!

Hand crafted soaps are so good for your skin. No added chemicals and all the natural glycerin is retained. I'll never go back to buying store bought chemical laden soaps.

Shampoo Bar All Natural Essential Oils and Extracts

I've been mulling around with this idea for quite some time. I've used my own soaps for shampoo bars and that was alright with me. But after researching forever I've created a recipe specifically for hair.

My hair is waist length, dry and curly with flyaway baby hairs that drive me nuts. This shampoo bar leaves my hair very soft, controls the flyaways, smells nice. I even woke up in the middle of the night because the smell and feel of my scalp was so intensely soft I couldn't believe it! It cleans beautifully, leaving my hair shinny, soft and even full bodied!

So let me break down the ingredients…

My base oils are: Olive, Coconut, Palm, Castor, Wheatgerm, Jojoba, Walnut, Rice, Avocado, Sunflower and Shea Butter.

Essential oils used are: Rosemary, Carrot Seed, Calendula

Extracts are: Nettle and Chamomile

Also added: Liquid Silk, Vitamin E, Fresh Aloe Vera and BTMS (vegetable based conditioning emulsifier)

I've added no extra coloring or scent to this save the wonderful natural scent of these oils combined! I love this shampoo bar and it's been a long time coming. I hope you enjoy it the same and I encourage you to research these ingredients to find out just how wonderful and beneficial they are for your hair.

Sleeping Angels Shea Butter Handmade Natural Soap

I've enriched this bar with shea butter, sweet almond oil and vegetable glycerin for added moisture. The color reminds me of a beautiful pink opal. I tried hard to capture this in the pics, but no cigar.

This was a sample from Brambleberry. I had never heard of it and the name isn't up my opium alley. It's not bad and for some reason it reminds me of a Christmas scent. It might be because of the name? I really don't have the words to desribe this one, so allow me to steal the words out of Brambleberry's mouth:

"This glorious fragrance is fresh, flowery and green with notes of Rose, Muget, and Musk. Delicate and floral, it's a great addition to any soap line! One customer wrote in and said, "I just wanted to let you know that I used the Sleeping Angels FO in it and I love it! It smells great. Like a cross between a baby and a field of flowers."

So there it is :-)

Teeth Soap Lip Balm Style - No Mess and Great for Travel!

Peppermint, Anise, Orange & Lemon CASTILLE BAR - My favorite.

This toothpaste soap actually started out as a custom order. After researching the 'said' benefits of using handmade soap to clean your teeth I thought I'd better give it a try for myself. I'm so glad I did. My teeth feel DO feel cleaner, I could actually feel the difference after my first brushing! And, I feel a lot safer using soap that I've made and with ingredients that I can actually pronounce! Although I'm going to have to get used to the taste (it is in fact soap). I feel so much better using a natural toothpaste, umm I mean toothsoap. I've already thrown my shampoo and conditioner to the wind and am very thankful for my custom toothsoap order that has opened my eyes :-)

Here's a few things I've found out about using tradional toothpaste.

Fluoride is: toxic, once used as a rat poisoning and insecticide, a pollutant made of aluminum by products, can actually cause your teeth to crumble in large doses!

Souce: www.ghchealth.com/where-the-yellow-went.html

After reading all this crazy stuff on toothpaste my husband, who I would NEVER in a million years think would do want to switch (on his own), has decided to toss the toothpaste back to the chemical gods!

What does my toothsoap contain?

Saponified Olive Oil

Peppermint EO

Anise EO

Orange EO

Lemon EO

Directions: Wet your toothbrush and swipe the toothsoap tube a couple of times. You wont need much. Brusha brusha brusha, and rinse about 3 times.

I'm not a doctor and make no medical claims. You can just search for 'toothpaste soap' and find a lot more info online. Thank you :-)

Cinnamon Sugar Cocoa Butter Handmade Natural Soap

This soap is made with cinnamon sugar fragrance oil. It smells just like cinnamon and sugar, but not too sweet. Too sweet = bad news in my aromaland. I've added tons and tons and tons of cocoa butter to the base of this bar. To top it off, I've enriched with shea butter, sweet almond oil and vegetable glycerin for more moisturizing goodness. It's a very rich bar of soap and will leave you feeling silky smooth.

This would definitely be a bar of soap that I'd wash my hair with too. I use almost all of my plain (meaning no added herbs and stuff) as shampoo bars. My method: Lather up a wash cloth really REALLY good and squeeze it out onto your hair. This is easier then trying to lather your hands and then transfer. Scrub it up and use the remainder for your body. Close your eyes for the hair part though - or ouch! Then rinse and you are all done. You've saved water, time and smell great too. Ah…

Cold River Soap Works After Shave Balm

Cold River Soap Works

This Corona Lime soap is made with real beer! Nothing but the goodness of beer, beer, beer in here. Beer is good for your skin and hair. I use my soaps as shampoo bars also. To the top I've added lime fragrance oil and enriched the whole darn thing with shea butter, liquid glycerin, castor oil and avocado oil! Full of moisturizing goodness :-)

You will receive one bar of appoximately 5+ ounces and a mini Coronita bar a little over 1+ ounce. One bar for the bath and one for the sink! Oh my you're really getting a deal today...

It's good to let your soap air out between uses for a longer lasting bar. Store your handmade soaps in a cool dry place letting them breathe. I cut mine in quarters to make them last longer :-) and this way I can use a different soap everyday - yay me!

Hand crafted soaps are so good for your skin. No added chemicals and all the natural glycerin is retained. I'll never go back to buying store bought chemically infiltrated soaps.
