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!

Epiphany Soap

I ordered a sample kit of essential and fragrance oils that reflect the Christmas season.  I've been using them in small batches of soap or in combination with other oils.  However, I've been anxious to use the Frankincense & Myrrh oils and finally made that soap today.  This formula uses both cocoa butter and shea butter for a rich, luxurious soap that seems to pair well with the essential oils that were brought by the Wise Men.


 9 oz.  Olive Oil
  9 oz.  Coconut Oil
  9 oz.  Palm Oil
2.6 oz. Castor Oil
1.6 oz. Safflower Oil
  .6 oz. Shea Butter
  .3 oz. Cocoa Butter

12 oz.  Water
4.5 oz.  Sodium Hydroxide

  1 oz.  Essential Oil (Frankincense and Myrrh)
   .5 oz. Vitamin E Oil
