Catch-up!

I'm playing catch up here lately! We are having some family issues that have definately slowed me down. Eventually everything will get back to normal but for now I'm just doing my best to keep moving forward! ;)

I have gotten a couple of things made up since my last post. I made some Coconut lotion/lip balm stick, some neem tree oil soap, and some goats milk peppermint soap.

I hope all of you guys out there had a wonderful Father's Day yesterday!

Neem Tree Oil Soap

I also have make up some Neem Tree Oil Soap. It came about for a customer who has ongoing issues with yeast. Neem tree oil has antifungal properties along with many other amazing properties. This soap also has lemongrass, tea trea, peppermint, lavender, rosemary, sage, and clove essential oils to help boost the antifungal properties. This soap should be amazing for other skin conditions as well. Many of the ingredients in this soap are also good for acne. This last weekend I was at an outdoor wedding. Wearing makeup all day out in the heat is almost a surefire way for me face to breakout. I had a couple of spots where it looked like pimples were about to form and so I used the Neem Tree Oil Soap that night and again the next morning. I don't know if it was just chance but my face never broke out. The red spots that looked like they were going to be pimples by the next day weren't even red any longer! Like I said, it's possible it was just a fluke but I'm thinking I might have to use this soap for my face in the summer when I'm more likely to have breakouts!

Goats Milk Peppermint Oatmeal Soap


The other night I also made up some more of my Goats Milk Peppermint Oatmeal soap! That stuff goes pretty quick! It seems like I just can't make the peppermint soaps quickly enough! LOL! I was very excited because with it being a larger batch than the Neem Tree Oil Soap, I was able to use my new slab mold! It worked very nicely! I hate cutting soap because I am such a perfectionist that if the bars get cut all wonky, it really drives me nuts! So the new mold prevents all of that since the dividers mean I don't have to cut each bar!
