February 2020 | Coffee and Cream | KCK Soapery


This batch was inspired by my hubby who love coffee and enjoys roasting his very own gourmet green coffee beans.  This was made using the recipe I found in "LovinSoap".   I  changed the patchouli and orange essential oils to rosemary and peppermint essential oils for this batch, however, I used the same main recipe in Lovin soap.  Surprisingly, it turned out just as expected!


Instead of water, I used brewed coffee from Costa Rica from the hubby's supplies. The coffee grounds for some exfoliation and some coffee beans for the top.


Wet soap.

Here is the video of the making and cutting.

February 2020 | Aromatherapy Energizing | KCK Soapery


    I made this batch of handmade soaps a few weeks ago using a mold I bought for myself for Christmas and Valentine's!

    I always love the look of the soaps made with the dividers.  The different colors are more evenly distributed and not intermingling over each other.

    This batch is made using my usual recipe olive oil, coconut oil, palm oil, shea butter, mango butter and castor oil. Colors used were purple, teal and pink mica and titanium dioxide for white.

    Fragrance used is called Aromatherapy Energizing which is described as an uplifting blend of fragrance and essential oil blend of fresh and airy notes of lemon, garden peppermint, spearmint, wintergreen and floral notes of gardenia, jasmine, and rose.


I also bought a cutter for this batch.  


As of the writing of this blog, my cutter and mold are both unavailable.  I will keep an eye for when it will be available and add the link in the next post.

I always love the look of wet soap.


The two different cut made by the new mold and the new cutter.

Here is the video of the making and cutting of this mold.

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?

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.
