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!

Comfrey Loofah Soap

The loofah idea is quite a hit.  I've decided to use the butter blend formula but add powdered comfrey from our garden.  What a lovely shade of minty green!

  9 oz.  Coconut Oil

2.6 oz. Castor Oil
1.6 oz. Safflower Oil
