I love soap. I love soap so much that I've got tons of it in my home. Everyone I know has some soap that I've created. Unfortunately, as a mom of small children, I don't make cold process or hot process soap, because I don't deal in lye. I know there are folks out there who do deal with lye, even with small children, but I've got way too much going on in my home to worry about a caustic chemical. If my little ones get into the shea butter, no harm, no foul. If they got into the lye.....
As you can probably see from my store website, I work with vegetable glycerin soap, or as some call it, melt and pour soap. This type of soap is purchased as a base. I melt it, add extra moisturising oils and/or butters (of course, I couldn't leave it plain!!), add color and fragrance, and voila! A soap work of art from neosoul.essentials! Are you a Diva? DIVA soap is made with shea butter and other oils, with a lovely fragrance that will turn your shower into 'spa indulgence'.
In my quest for the soapiest of soaps, I've turned to soap rebatching or hand millling. From what I have read, it's something that a lot of people don't seem to like to do, and I've had difficulty even finding base soap to rebatch. But, over the weekend, I rebatched some goat's milk soap and make a, let's say, interesting looking soap: 
Interesting, isn't it? I call it coffee sunrise. The coffee scent is very strong and I added coffee ground to the bottom of the soap for color. I plopped the coffee ground filled soap in my specially lined box (that my contact lenses came in) and swirled some non coffee ground soap into the top. As you can see, I didn't get it quite down to the bottom, but it's an interesting effect, and it smells great!!
I really enjoy playing around with making bath products and the like. I hope you enjoy my creations as much as I do!
