May 2018 | Body Butters | KCK Soapery

I modified my body butter ingredients a little since it is getting warmer and my first body butter recipe melted when I left a container in the car one warm April day.

Although I highly recommend not leaving the body butters in warm space, this new recipe contains beeswax which is known to be very beneficial to the skin and will keep the body butters a little firmer.

I love the process of making up a recipe, adding and weighing the ingredients, and trying to make the final products look and feel pretty.  That is why most of my products have more ingredients than what is necessary. They are all natural, not synthetic, and will give additional benefits to the skin.

The body butters below contains Shea butter, Mango butter, Avocado butter, Coconut oil, Avocado oil, and beeswax.

Cocoa body butter has an added cocoa butter.

Unicorn poop is added with Unicorn poop fragrance oil.

Lavender is added with Lavender essential oil.

March 2018 | Lavender Whipped Body Butter | KCK Soapery

This whipped body butter is made with Coconut oil,  Avocado butter, Mango butter, avocado oil, and scented with Lavender essential oil.  A dash of lavender mica is added to give it some color.  I made quite a few batches of these! I just don't have good enough pictures to post.  

Melted all the butters and coconut oil and let them harden a little bit.

Added Vitamin E for extra moisturizing.

Mixed until you get a peak.

Alternate lavender and white on a sheet of cling wrap and then piped the body butter into containers.

I love the texture and feel of these recipe.

Thank you for stopping by!

First Flower Attempt

 

 

Pictures are not depicting the real colors,  it is a sunny spring day but my pictures are shady.  I apologize for that.

As tempting as it was watching all the soapers on youtube with their fancy swirling on top of their soaps, I held off until a few weeks ago and finally bought a slab mold.    I like the idea of swirling more designs on top of my soaps.  Got this 9 bar slab mold from Bramble Berry.  I am eyeing another mold but will have to wait and see before I really invest in a mold.

 

This soap is supposed to be my attempt at swirling roses and leaves.  It did not turned out as planned.

 

Picture below was taken right after I poured the batter and tried to swirl the rose and leaves.

 

This was the first time I used this soap recipe from Soap Crafting book.  It included  palm oil, coconut oil, avocado butter, avocado oil and olive oil.  Fragranced with Sweet Bay Rose, colored with matte cobalt blue ultramarine, woodland green and Americana red with some non-bleeding red colorant.

 

 

I was not sure how to remove the dividers off the soap but the picture above showed one side successfully removed.  Picture below showed the back of the soap.  It did not come out as smooth as I wanted, but I was finally able to get all the soaps out.

 

 

Happy Soaping!!!
