August 2018 | Fenugreek Soap | KCK Soapery

These handmade soaps were made exclusively for a friend Jacque.  She was told about "Fenugreek" and its benefits and she decided to come to me to make her vision into a reality.   

These were made using ingredients provided by Jacque which include the following Coconut oil, Palm oil, Olive oil, Castor oil and Sweet Almond oil, and Fenugreek herb.  The batch is unscented since we wanted to see how it smells naturally for now.

This was my first time to hear about the herb! I then did my own research and found that it is very good for the skin and hair as well as other health benefits. Here is an article from webmd. The only drawback is that it is not recommended for pregnant women since it may induce contraction. However, it is good for breastfeeding mothers who want to increase milk production.

Some countries use it as medicinal herb to help with ailments, others use it for cooking, drink it as tea, and so many others.

If you would like to try these soap, just contact Jacque.  She have all the soap with her.

Thank you!

November 2014 | Solid Body Lotion | KCK Soapery

 

Body lotion bars contain shea butter, colloidal oatmeal, sweet almond oil and beeswax.   The yellow was scented with bergamot and tarragon, the green with energizing fragrance oil and the red with mistletoe and ivy fragrance oil.

 

 

Below included on the far left of the picture are 3 lotion bars which were not colored and contain hemp seed oil instead of sweet almond oil and tea tree essential oil instead of fragrance oil.

 

Hoping for these lotion bars to give some relief to our skin now that winter is here.



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!
