Four New Soaps Revealed

Yesterday I made four new soaps, and asked my Facebook liker's to try and guess what scents they were.  That as a lot of fun, and very interesting to see what people came up with. On my Facebook page I will reveal who won a free soap.

The first soap is Honey Almond Goat's Milk Soap.  This soap is a full goat's milk soap.  I also added a little vanilla, so the top honeycomb layer is scented in Vanilla, and the rest of the soap is scented in Almond.  This is a cocoa butter soap, and will be just lovely to use.

The next soap I made is May Chang.  "May Chang" is another name for Litsea.  This is a nice essential oil that is known to hold its scent better in cold process soap and smells a little lighter than lemongrass.  This soap is scented with a blend of Orange, Lavender, Rosemary and Litsea.  It has a gorgeous scent in my opinion.  To the bottom I added Apricot Kernel meal exfolliant, and also calendula petals to the middle and top part of the soap.

The third soap I made is a seasonal remake, only I made the appearance a little different this year.  This one is Orange and Chocolate.  Smells Divine. The bottom layer is scented in Chocolate, as well as part of the top, so these layers will darken.  In the middle I put orange Jojoba beads, to give it colour as well as a little exfoliation.

And the last soap I made is also a seasonal remake, only I have changed it up a little.  This one is Grama's Kitchen.  The scent on this one is a combination of clove, cinnamon, and vanilla with a hint of caramel and apple, followed by earthy base notes. I did another separate layer in just vanilla, to give it a warmer scent.

So thanks again to everyone who participated in trying to guess these soaps.  It was fun.

Four Batches Just Made

So I just finished making four batches of soap.  They are all for my Fall line.  One is a full goat's milk soap.  Tomorrow I will cut and reveal the names or scents of these soaps.  If you head over to my facebook page, I'm asking people to try and guess what they are.  If you guess correctly you could win a free bar of one of these soaps.

Dino Cupcakes and more

Cinfully Cinnamon and updates

Pink Sugar Soap Cake

I really enjoy making soap cakes, and I absolutely love the scent of Pink Sugar.  I am happy with the way this one turned out.  I also made cupcakes in the same scent and design.

And here is what is looks like when cut.

And this is what they look like when packaged.

These are really big slices, most of them weighing in over 200 grams, so they can easily be cut in half or into thirds for easier use.

Gift Collections

So over the past month, I have been working on some gift collections.  I asked people on my Facebook page, which scents they like and this is what we came up with.  I will have 4 different scent collections, plus 1 for men.  The men's collection will include;  one Oceanus Soap, 1 Lip Balm, 1 60ml Oceanus Skin Lovin Lotion, 1 Oceanus Soothing After Shave Balm, and 1 Oceanus Shaving Soft Soap. It comes in an earth friendly box with stuffing and ribbon.

The other four collections are Black Raspberry Vanilla, Black Amber & Lavender, Citrus Energy, and Hello Sweet Thang.  Each collection will include a soap, a Foaming Mineral Soak, a 60ml Skin Lovin Lotion, a Body Butter Bar, a Bubble Bath and a poofy.  These are all packaged up ready to give as a gift to yourself or someone else.

So next time you are looking for a gift these are only $29.99

Some New Products

If you don't read my News Letter, or like me on Facebook, you may have missed some new products that are now available and on the website.  Yesterday I made these Herbal Bath Tea's.  I'm calling them the Perfect Bath, because I love all the ingredients that have gone into them.  Made with Coconut Milk Powder, Whole Oats, Sea Salts, Epsom Salts, Botanical's and therapeutic Essential Oils.

The Perfect Bath - Love Potion Herbal Blend

New Love Magik Soap and Love Magik Cupcakes are also new and on the website.

Love Magik Cupcake Soaps

And the last product that is fairly new is our Whipped Shea and Mango Butters.  These are just butters, whipped together and scented with essential oils.  Really nice for dry, sore, or damaged skin.

Discontinuing Product

Lately I have been taking inventory of my products, and I have decided that I just have to many.  Although I love Bath and Body products, my passion is soap making.  So over the next little while, I am going to be going over all my products, and see which ones are worth keeping.  All of them take time to make, cost money to purchase the supplies to make them, and if they are not big sellers, then it is not worth while in keeping them.  Some that I have already decided to discontinue are:
1) Liquid Shampoo and Conditioner
2) Natural Baby Wash
3) Foaming Dead Sea Mineral Soak
4) Kaolin Clay Bath Soak
5) Shea Butter Shower Smoother
These products are very slow movers and I have already taken most of them off of the website. I do however have a couple left on all of them, so if you are interested in purchasing, please email me at info at mountain farmsoap dot ca.  I will sell them at discounted prices,
