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!

February 2018 | Sugar and Mint | KCK Soapery


Fragrance is described as sugar crystals infused with fresh dried peppermint and spearmint leaves.


I made this goat's milk soap with my new favorite recipe which includes coconut oil, olive oil, rice bran oil, palm oil, mango butter, shea butter, and castor oil.


I used only green color for this batch.  Then, poured the uncolored batter into the mold and dropped the green in three lines.


Ran a hanger through the lines and covered the top with the rest of the uncolored batter.
Then drizzled the leftover green.


Made a swirl on top using chopstick.


Sprinkled the top with sugar pearls and glitter.


Out of the mold.


Love the end result of this batch.

Enjoy!

February 2018 | Sun and Sand | KCK Soapery


My mom who was visiting really loved this scent! My supplier described it as a tropical beach breeze of sweet orange blossom, bright citrus, french lavender and powdery musk.


This batch contains my new Goat's milk recipe which includes: Coconut oil, olive oil, rice bran oil, palm oil, shea butter, mango butter and castor oil.


Added coffee grounds to give that sandy look and a little exfoliation to the uncolored batter.



Dropped the yellow and blue batters to the base.


Gave it a little swirl with a spatula.


Carefully poured the swirled yellow and blue batter on top of the sandy layer and drizzled the leftover yellow and blue batters.


Swirled the top with my ever handy dandy chopstick.


Out of the mold.


Ready to be enjoyed!

February 2018 | Mother's Love | KCK Soapery


Scented with a blend of peonies, hyacinth, day lilies, apple blossoms, and soft bergamot.  I love the swirl on this batch but the camera did not do justice to it.


Ingredients are my usual Coconut oil, Olive oil, Rice Bran oil, Palm oil, Mango butter, and Castor oil.


Colored with titanium dioxide for white and red mica. I alternately poured red and white in the middle of the mold and did a bit of hanger swirl.



Covered with white after the hanger swirl and drizzled the leftover red batter on top.


Swirled the top with chopstick.


Out of the mold.


I am quite happy with the hanger and chopstick swirl in this batch.  

Enjoy!

Made a swirl with chopstick on top.
