About Me

My photo
I have a wonderful family who supports my many hobbies including singing, soapmaking, wine tasting and rabbits. I recently retired from teaching English as a Second Language and love to travel. I started making soap in 1999 when we were showing goats in milk as a 4-H project. All of my soaps are made with pure oils and no animal fats. All fragrances are from essential oils. Store-bought "soap" is really a detergent. My soap will leave your skin clean and moisturized. Try some!

Troegenator Double Bock Soap

Reverting to my favorite beer soap formula (35 % Olive Oil, 30% Coconut Oil, 30% Palm Oil, 4% Castor Oil, 1% Cocoa Butter), I made a 4 pound batch and poured it into the remaining milk cartons and small PVC rounds.  We decided that since this is a heavier beer, we needed a heavy combination of essential oils.

25.2 oz. Olive Oil
21.6 oz. Coconut Oil
21.6 oz. Palm Oil
  2.9 oz. Castor Oil
   .7 oz.  Cocoa Butter

27.4 oz. Troegenator Double Bock Beer
10.4 oz. Sodium Hydroxide

2 Tbsp. Essential Oil Blend (Cedarwood, Juniper, Frankincense)
