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!

Lavender Loofah Soap

I've been wanting to try something new and purchased several loofahs to fill with soap.  They were quite compressed so I soaked them to return them to full volume.  I used the lavender recipe that I've used before but filling the holes in the loofah was trickier than I thought.  The loofahs were wrapped individually but the soap ran out a bit.  Interesting experiment.  I filled two of them and have several more to try so we'll see how this goes.

19.2 oz. Olive Oil  (60%)
6.7 oz. Coconut Oil  (21%)
5.1 oz. Palm Oil  (16%)
1.0 oz. Safflower Oils infused with Russian Sage  (3%)

12.1 oz. Water
4.5 oz. Sodium Hydroxide

1 Tbsp. Lavender Essential Oil & Vitamin E Oil
