I am still a "Cold Process" fan. But occasionally, I'll make CPHP soap. Enjoy the pictures! ☺

My husband has been working on some soap display boxes that we can use to display our soaps at flee markets, arts and craft shows etc. I think they came out great!!
We've had so many different ideas on what to do for labeling and presenting our soaps... It's been a bit stressful, but I think we're content with this one so far. It may seem easy, but for someone who is NOT very computer savvy, I had a little bit of a hard time. I definitely think this one is a keeper! On the back side of the soap every ingredient is listed. (Sorry, I forgot to take a picture.) I'm still working on getting the exact sizes down, but when I'm finished I'll post more pics of the final label. Here is the rough draft for now...
It's been a few days, but our soaps have been taken out of the molds and have been cut. They look and smell wonderful! Now they are finishing up the curing process which takes about 4-6 weeks. They will be ready to use by December 22, 2011. The longer they cure, the harder and more mild they become. Look under "Soapmaking Fun" and scroll down to see more pictures of us cutting the bars.
Making Soap with my hubby today!☺ Well, we're back at it. My hubby and I are going to make lots of soap today. First on the list is Pure Olive Oil Soap. Also know as "Spanish Castile" soap. Made the old fashioned way: using the cold process method - completely from scratch, with high quality 100% Olive Oil!
Next we are going to make a soap that is extremely mild, and lathers quite well. It's made with olive oil, coconut oil, palm oil, cocoa butter, and castor oil. (This is my husband's favorite!) |
