February 2020 | Bridal Shower Giveaways | KCK Soapery

Thank you "I" for thinking of me for your bridal shower giveaways.

We decided to give it a rustic yet feminine look and came up with a flowery kraft paper "I" already have on hand and finished the wrapping by using a lace to tie it all up.

These were made using melt and pour technique sprinkled with dried flowers and scented with Gingered Bergamot described as an exotic fragrance with citrus top notes of bergamot surrounded with nuances of freshly ground ginger combined with notes of Sandalwood, Cedar, Indian Patchouli, and Sweet Basil.

I hope everyone who receives them will love them!

February 2020 | Glassine Bag Packaging - What do you think? | KCK Soapery

I saw the use of glassine paper bags as soap packaging and I am intrigued.

The idea of using something that is biodegradable and prevent my soap from getting too many hands and nose touching and sniffing the soaps during craft shows sounds like a great idea.

We shall see how my soaps and customers will like this transition.

What do you think?

Thank you for stopping by!

January 2020 | Valentine's Giveaways | KCK Soapery

Thank you "S" for deciding to make my soap as your Valentine's giveaways this year.  As I was searching for an inspiration for this Valentine's giveaways, I came into an article that described this technique as "hybrid" soap.  It is absolutely nice to know that we now have a name to this kind of soap making style.  It is made using both the melt and pour (glycerin) soap and the cold process soap.  

This batch is scented with Gingered Bergamot described as an exotic fragrance with citrus top notes of bergamot surrounded with nuances of freshly ground ginger combined with notes of sandalwood, cedar, Indian patchouli, and sweet basil.  The cold process base is made using my favorite recipe which includes Olive oil, Coconut oil, Palm oil, Shea butter, Castor oil, and Mango oil.

January 2020 | Gingered Bergamot | KCK Soapery

This batch is made for a sweet baby girl who just turned one!

Thank you "L"

It is made with melt and pour or also called glycerin soap.  Perfect for when you don't have 4 to 6 weeks of curing time for the cold process soap making. I hope everybody who's going to receive these giveaways will love them.

These are the number 1's just out of the mold.

Made a batch with pink base and white number and vice versa.

Out of the mold.

Scented with gingered bergamot described as an exotic fragrance with citrus top notes of bergamot surrounded with nuances of freshly ground ginger combined with notes of sandalwood, cedar, Indian patchouli, and sweet basil.

January 2020 | Love Spell | KCK Soapery

I made a second batch of Valentine's Soap for a friend "S".  Plus, I want to make a successful batch using the new heart embed.  This time, I used my usual favorite recipe which includes Olive oil, Coconut oil, Palm oil, Mango butter, Shea butter, and Castor oil.

Scented with a combination of essential oil and fragrance oil described as a lavishly lush blend of orange, peach, cherry blossom, and white jasmine.

This time, I swirled the top using a skewer.

Only five bars out of eleven ended up being what I want them to look like.  Six bars have their bottom layer stuck on the mold.

January 2020 | Amber Soap | KCK Soapery

I made this batch right after the cut of the 50 Shades Valentine's soap.  This time, I used my usual recipe that never failed me and is chuck full of skin loving ingredients including Olive oil, Palm oil, Coconut oil, Shea butter, Castor oil, and Mango butter.  I also waited for it to harden more by letting the batter sit in the mold for two days before cutting.

Fragrance oil used is described as a rich amber with hints of sandalwood and cedar wood.  Colors were titanium dioxide for white and yellow, pink, and purple mica.

I used biodegradable holographic glitter for some shimmer.

January 2020 | First Unicorn Poop Body Butter for the year 2020 | KCK Soapery

Thank you "J" and "S"!

I tweaked my previous recipe a little. Hopefully, they like this one better than the previous ones.  These skin loving body butter is made with shea butter, mango butter, avocado oil and coconut oil.  I added a dash of vitamin E oil and some arrow root powder to minimize the greasiness of the butter.

Fragrance oil used is "Unicorn Poop" described as a rainbow of delicious treats, such as sugared strawberry, sweet peach, ripe raspberry, and cotton candy.  This time, I left most of the butter the natural white and colored some with pink, yellow and purple mica.

Hopefully you guys will like this recipe better!
