January 2018 | Kaolin Clay Unscented Goat's Milk Soap | KCK Soapery

This is the debut of my goat's milk soap.

My very first Goat's milk soap.

Hopefully you guys will like it so I can make more of this creamy soap.  A friend asked for goat's milk soap a few months ago.  So I concocted a recipe which include goat's milk and shea butter.  This is very natural without added fragrance or color.

This recipe include the following, Coconut oil, olive oil, rice bran oil, palm oil, mango butter, shea butter and castor oil.  The container with white liquid above is the goat's milk.

I added kaolin clay at the last minute after noticing that my soap is not as white as I wanted.  Kaolin clay is natural and very beneficial to the skin while giving a white color to the soap.  

Poured the batter into the mold.

Had to give it some texture.  I used spoon to lift up the sides and sprinkle them on top.

Out of the mold.

Cut and ready to give you that creamy and soothing bath or shower.

Thank you for dropping by!

October 2014 | Mistletoe & Ivy | KCK Soapery

 

Last week was just crazy busy with lots of things going on.  Fortunately, I was able make soaps over the weekend to make up for the non-productive soaping weekdays.

 

Ingredients for this batch include the following Coconut Oil, Olive Oil, Rice Bran Oil, Palm Oil, Mango Butter and Palm Oil, additive Kaolin Clay.

 

I would have wanted the colors to be more vivid but I like how the swirls turned out. 

 



 

Happy Soaping!

 

 



 

September 2014 | Bubblegum Agave | KCK Soapery

 

 The video below will show how I was in a "panic" mode right from the beginning of the soap batter making.   The near disaster started when I realized I forgot to dilute my colors with some oils.  I had to add colors to thickened soap batter and just poured my titanium dioxide to the rest of the batter.  Definitely not the right way to add colors.

 

The bubblegums were made with "melt and pour" soap.  They were added on to an Agave scented handmade soap.

 

 

These colorful balls were added on top of the piped soap frosting to give it some texture.

 

Agave soap ingredients include Coconut oil, Olive oil, Rice Bran oil, Palm oil, Mango Butter and Castor oil.

 

 

Skin loving additives used were silk and kaolin clay.

 

 

The soap were made on Friday, we were away Saturday and it sat for a total of 48 hours before being cut. 

 

 

It was still a little soft when I cut the bars and the MP balls did perspire and are a little dewy.  But aesthetically they look just as planned.  We shall see how they perform in the shower or bath.

 

 Enjoy the video and watch me working in panic mode.

 



September 2014 | Bergamot/Tarragon | KCK Soapery

 

I was told that some people really love the scent of Bergamot.  I ordered the fragrance oil and made a small batch with it using my smaller mold since the other mold was busy with a camo batch.

 

 

Ingredients were Coconut oil, Olive oil, Rice Bran oil, Mango butter, Palm oil and Castor oil.  Colors were stained glass lemon yellow, woodland green and titanium dioxide.  The yellow started out looking more like peach color but it turned more yellow after 24 hours.

 

 

I added tussah silk, aloe vera powder, colloidal oatmeal and kaolin clay.

 

 

It was a little on the soft side when I cut the bars this morning.  Although I like how the colors turned out just the way I wanted, I am not so thrilled with the swirling.

 

 

September 2014 | Unscented Camo 2 | KCK Soapery

 

The hubby has been asking for another camo soap for the past couple of weeks.   I was hesitant because I was afraid I might not be able to do an exact duplicate of my previous camo soaps.  With the hunting season already here I had to produce.  So here is my second unscented camo soap.

 

 

Ingredients include Coconut oil, Olive oil, Rice Bran oil, Palm oil, Mango Butter, Castor oil and Avocado oil.  Colored with woodland green, activated charcoal, titanium dioxide and cappuccino mica.  Since even hunters will enjoy good skin loving additives I added Tussah silk, colloidal oatmeal and Kaolin clay.

 

 

I am quite happy with how the colors turned out.  

 



September 2014 | Avobath In The Pot | KCK Soapery

 

Always up for a new challenge so when I received a request for an Avocado base soap I quickly studied what might work and this is what my friend who likes playing with food recipes and I came up with.

 

 

Love pictures of a newly molded soaps and I got the lighting just right for this one.  Ingredients suggested was of course Avocado oil and Sweet Almond oil.  I found a recipe online with Palm oil, Palm Kernel oil and I added my favorite ingredients Mango Butter and Coconut oil.

 

 

Colors used were woodland green, stained glass yellow and titanium dioxide.    Additives added were my newly found favorite Tussah silk, colloidal oatmeal and kaolin clay.

 

 

Fragranced with Avobath and we used the "in the pot" swirl for this batch.

 

 

The hubby described the scent as "lemony clean".  I liked the creaminess of the look and the glide of the soap loaf.  It is so shiny and smooth.  But with tiny specks of white which we realized (after watching the video) was due to the fact that we did not do enough blending after we transferred the titanium dioxide to the main soap batter.  Since I add titanium dioxide only for making the soap white, let's just pretend the specks were intentional.

 

 

Over all we are happy with what we produced.  Can't wait for this batch to completely cure so we can check out how it will perform in the shower or bath.

 

Thank you for visiting!
