End of Summer Soaps

These soap were made about a month ago, well in few different days when I was filled with that huge soap-making urge.  Guess it'd be time again for soap making :)


Old time love - Lavender Fusion (color by mixing Ultramarine Blue & Ultravmarine Violet, well too bad the color was not quite as expected)

Cinnamon & Ginger

Ginseng & Mugwort Buttermilk

Rosemary, Nettle & Lemon Balm (infused)

Dead Sea Salt Soap - Lemongrass, Rosemary & Lavender Scented, topped with Himalayan Salt

    1. Thank you for stopping by and I guess this is the fun part that we soapers got hooked with the colors and scents and the results are just never be the same :)

  2. Wow, all of those soaps are gorgeous, Jessie! I especially love that vibrant blue you got in the Lavender Fusion even though it wasn't quite what you were going for. The Cinnamon and Ginger looks really cool, too. They are all fantastic!

  3. Jessie your soaps are so beautiful! I really can't say which one is my favorite...maybe Salt Soap because I've never made them (yet). Is it really that nourishing?

    1. Renata, thank you for stopping by. Using salt in soaping, I think it's just like adding herbal extract or other additives, does bring more interesting benefit to soap itself. But it could be really personal too. Some of my friends love that creamy feel of the salt soap and claim that they feel smoother skin :)

  4. Oh my goodness - your soaps are beautiful! I especially love the Cinnamon and Ginger one! I am a newbee/wannabee soap maker and have only ever tried the Hot Process method. Are your's made with the cold press method? I would love the recipe for your Cinnamon and Ginger soap!
