Mix the salts together in a large bowl mixing by hand. Then store in a glass gar with a thight fitting lid. Put the salt away in a cool dark place for twenty four hours before using. Then run a warm bath and add in a cup of the salts to the bath water and enjoy.

My Cold Cream Recipe

This is how I made it and it turned out great. Two ounces olive oil,teaspoon glycerin, about a ounce of grated bee's wax, one and a half ounces of distilled water, half teaspoon vitamin E oil, about 40 drops of essential oil, orange,bergamot,ylang-ylang, and patchouli. I melted the oils and wax in the microwave, next I heated the water in the microwave until just warm, when the oil mix cooled down just a little, I slowly poured the water into the oil mix one drope at a time while beating constantly with a wire whisk until thick.

Soap Curing On The Rack

My Shampoo Bars

The recipe for my shampoo bar is 12 ounces coconut oil, 19 ounces olive oil, 12 ounces caster oil,6 ounces lye, 16 ounce water. I used a half ounce of sandalwood and amber fragrance oil to make it smell good. I like the color and the smell , so I am happy with how they turned out and I look foreward to using them over the next year.

My Lavender Soap

I used the same recipe for my lavender soap as I did for the red tea lychee soap. The red tea lychee soap is posted on my side bar. The soap smells great and the color turned out pretty good too, so I am happy with it.
