moon01945 Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I made this 2 nights ago and cut last night. This is using Lemon sugar I purchased from classy's. Not sure what I will be calling this one. poured:Cut: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flicker Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 It is really pretty! I find poppy seeds to be super scratchy though I personally would probably market this as a kitchen soap for that reason. Plus lemon is awesome in the kitchen! mmmmm I love lemon in the shower in the morning too. Such an eye opener! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moon01945 Posted September 16, 2011 Author Share Posted September 16, 2011 yeah i was thinking it was more of a hand/kitchen soap. But some people like the scratchy's. I don't like it every morning.I also like lemon in the morning.. That and peppermint are nice eye openers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fresh apple with the crisp cool of the mint! Wowsa! Night time showers...sandalwood vanilla. What a perfect wind down! Isn't it funny how other people can be happy with Dial?

moon01945 Posted September 16, 2011 Author Share Posted September 16, 2011 there was like a year that my kids demanded dial. I think they did it just to bother me.I will never forgive them... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they did it just to bother me.I will never forgive them... lolConfessions of a soapaholic! My boyfriend, whom I love dearly....WILL NOT use CP Soap! He thinks it's girly or something. I made him some in Ed Hardy...nope, wouldn't have it! So, I keep "my" soap at his house and he keeps "his" soap at my house. I don't know how I will ever handle BUYING Dial soap if we move in together. I try to believe it's just a phase for him. I doubt however that at 51 he is likely to change his ways. Men...can't live with them, can't live without them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moon01945 Posted September 16, 2011 Author Share Posted September 16, 2011 I know.. I run into a lot of men that look, smell and really like the soaps but then walk away cause they "always used dial" or whatever type of soap they have been buying for 20 years. I soaped up austrailan bamboo and I think that is a really nice "guy" smell. I also made sure I didn't decorate it too "girly". Men would sniff really like it then keep moving. I broke down and cut some bars into smaller pieces for them to try. I got a few guys to buy some after that. But really ... MEN! The kids really killed me. They are little wise guys.. the did it just to bug me... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackbenimble Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Beautiful soap! Great combo:-)I have very oily skin and as much as I like the idea of using CP soap, and do have a few bars I have bought and do use them occasionally, I have oily skin and I do use dial because it doesnt add the oiliness. It is a little drying which I don't mind. If anyone can come up with and "oil free" soap then I'll be a customer for life. Lol! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksranch Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I would LOVE to be able to use you guy's soaps but my skin is so sensitive the only thing I can use is liquid baby soap. ;0( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol! :-)I bet you need a "cleansing" based soap with very little moisturing oils. Most people are looking for the high moisturizers so that is what is made.

To the point that I have never actually NEEDED lotion. Putting lotion on is a acne wish for me! I find that most CP soaps work excellent on my skin. You can't judge anything without using them for weeks straight. My skin is better since I made the switch years back. I was on RetinA and antibiotics through my teens and twenties and gave up. Acne came back. Started using CP in my mid 20's and voila, clear skin! My CP is very basic...I did all the exotic oils and butters and have come back to this time and again!24 Oz Olive12 oz Coconut 12 oz PalmThat's it. Good lather, good moisture without being too much or too little of anything. Tea tree oil and various clays also help with acne prone skin. For what it's worth, I think you should give making a batch a try. Add some tea tree and see what happens. I think you'll hook yourself.

ksranch Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Have you tried a Castile?No, never heard of it until I just googled it - do you make a version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moon01945 Posted September 23, 2011 Author Share Posted September 23, 2011 Hi... yes I do. It is very easy to make -- all olive oil. Olive can be moisturizing but I don't this just on it's own will be too much. But I am no expert. Need a recipe??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksranch Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Need a recipe???No, no - I can't even imagine trying to make soaps - it sounds extremely tricky, I'll stick to my candles.. but if you want to PM me a link to your store, I'll sure check it out! TY! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
