A new product! I found a great recipe for lotion bars and decided to add this new product to my line. I now have bar soaps, shampoo bars, shaving soap, soap in loofahs, laundry soap, stain sticks, dog shampoo and lotion bars.
A lotion bar is hand lotion in a solid form. One small bar will last as long as a bottle of liquid lotion. The ingredients are as follows:
shea butter, beeswax, avocado oil, almond oil, vanilla fragrance
Some of these bars are traditional 2 oz. bars but I also poured 2 oz. sticks in twist-up tubes.
I have been making my own soap since 1999 and specialize in cold process bath & body bars. This blog will help me to record my new soapmaking efforts and share them with you. All soaps are available for purchase.
About Me

- Lori Jo
- 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!

My friend, Marg, sent me this email about her experience with my Nana's Stain Stick. Looks like I will need to make more of these!
I just finished taking out the last load of wash from the dryer and everything that I used your stain stick on CAME OUT PERFECTLY! I told you my mom used to call be "slopkessel", a German work meaning sloppy and she was right. I hardly ever ate anything that I did drop on my clothing. Anyway, I had the WORST stain on my tops this time. I fried bacon and was too lazy to put on my apron and therefore my top had all kind of bacon grease splashed all over it - the STAIN STICK to the rescue!
I also had eaten Double Dutch Chocolate that night before going to bed and as careful as I thought I was, I dropped a big blob on my top as I missed my mouth although I still can't understand how that could happen as my mouth surely is plenty big enough. Well, anyway I did....STAIN STICK to the rescue again. I applied this excellent new product, soon to be on the market, to all the stains and mist my tops had a stain or two. They ALL came out. You don't know how many stain lifters I have tried in my lifetime and this is absolutely the BEST I have ever used.
So, could you please let me know how many sticks come in a box? Is it 12, 24 or 36? I'm seriously thinking of purchasing a box as every time I find something that I like and that REALLY works, they seem to stop making it. I don't want that to happen to this Stain Stick from Willow Creek. I will be your best advertiser so if anyone is doubtful - just send them to me by phone, e-mail or letter and I will most certainly "put them straight". So, tell your mom and Tom "This is a GOOD thing! I LOVE it - keep 'em coming.
Thanks again for allowing me to test these sticks. Ya know, I kind of even liked the soap and as you say, if it wasn't that you have to shake the life out of it - I would also buy this. I prefer the liquid over the powder.
See 'ya Monday I hope.
I am so proud to say I know whose idea this was and who actually makes it herself!
