Perfumed Soaps
"What do you mean by "Handmade"
soap?"
All of my soaps are made from scratch, not
pre-packaged bases and that is a promise!
My soap recipe is one that I hold dearly because I have spent years
researching vegetable oils to uncover just the right ratios. I have tested a
variety of clays & botanicals to pair
the most beneficial with the blend.
“So what makes your soap so special?”
You will fall in love with
Frankie Mae because I use "Farm Fresh" organic goat's milk. To this I add 2
tablespoons of unfiltered, raw honey. The first thing you will notice after
your first batch with a bar of my soap is how remarkably soft and
moisturized your skin feels.
“Does your soap have lye in it?”
Real
soap is formed by a chemical process called "saponification". In the process
of blending the oils, I add a lye solution to jumpstart the soap making
process. Once the oils and lye solution have successfully blended
together - the mixture is poured into wooden molds and allowed to set for 24
hours. Once this time is complete - all lye has been completely used up by
the fatty acid molecules supplied by the oils during this process. The fresh
soap loaf is then cut and prepared to air dry for 4 more weeks.
"How
long does each bar last?"
That depends on how much you use it. One bar will generally last about 2-3
weeks if only
one person is using it, once a day. Also, it is important to keep your soap
dry when it's not in use. Natural soaps do not contain synthetic hardeners,
so they do melt away, or turn to mush, if left in a puddle of water. We
carry an attractive soap dish that will prolong the life of your soap.
Perfumed Candles
"What do you mean by "Handmade"
candle?"
Each candle that I offer for sale is
carefully crafted by hand in my home. I do not
purchase pre-made candles at
a discount to resale for profit. I measure, melt and pour the wax into
American made glass jars.
"What type of wax do you
use in your candles?"
My candles are made from a
proprietary blend of soy & paraffin wax that I have found to be both
naturally sourced and provide the strongest aroma.
