It has been a while a long while since I last updated my blog. I had a very busy semester in uni and exams were finally over. After lazing around for a week, I’ve finally gotten around to making some soap. I love the peppermint and tea tree goat’s milk soap I made in March as the lather is very creamy and the soap is moisturising. I usually have horrible snake-like skin during winter. This winter however, there is great improvement thanks to the goats milk soap!! Don’t get me wrong, the soap does not magically turn my skin to silk-like smooth. My skin is still dry, but no longer snake-like. So I decided to make another batch of goats milk soap.
Ingredients: extra virgin olive oil/coconut oil/hazelnut oil/castor oil/shea butter/goat’s milk/rose water/stearic acid/rose clay/english rose fragrance oil.
Made: 3rd July 2009
Unmold: 5th July 2009
Ready to use: 3rd August 2009
This soap contains about 30% of goat’s milk and more than 40% of extra virgin olive oil, as well as moisturizing oils such as hazelnut oil and shea butter. Hence, it maintains the natural oils of the skin and gives you velvety smooth skin.
Why is it added??
- Extra virgin olive oil is very nutritious and gentle to the skin.
- Castor oil attracts and holds moisture in the skin, and helps increase lather.
- Hazelnut oil is ligh,t incredible moisturizing and easily absorbed into the skin.
- Shea butter soothes rough, dry or chapped skin and does not clog pores. It is very useful in treating minor skin conditions, hence suitable even for sensitive skin.
- Rose water is a gentle astringent and has anti-inflammatory properties.
- Rose clay is a mild clay which will gently cleanse and exfoliate the skin. It is gentle enough for even the driest, most sensitive skin.
The rose fragrance oil smells heavenly and not overpowering at all. This is the first time I tried making a heart pattern and although it is not perfect, I think it looks quite good.
