Well the factory does not stop even for Christmas, I was running low on Green Apple. So, yesterday I worked up a 10 lb batch that is curing in the molds until tomorrow. It is a very nice soap, using Avocado Butter, which makes for a nice creamy lather. The Apple Jack Peel fragrance smell of crisp green apples with a hint of spice.
This soap has been quite popular so this last batch will bring my inventory level back up to about 30 5.4 oz bars.
Stay tuned I am still work on a Facial soap that utilizes Rice Bran oil, an old Asian favorite for helping with wrinkles and overall skin appearance.

Rice Bran Oil

There is a new buzz about Rice Bran Oil which has been used in Asia for many years as a Health and Beauty aid. I am starting research on this and intend to come up with a new receipe for a facial soap containing Rice Bran Oil. I will announce it when I have a batch completed, wish me luck!

I have been seeing some interest in the Website that was introduced last week. It is really pretty neat to be able to sell over the Web. The word of mouth and support from friends, neighbors and alike has been great.
I will be using my blog to announce new products or replenishment of 'out of stock' inventory updates. Please subscribe to the blog if you want to automatically receive updates, thanks for your support.

I am so excited. I processed my 1st Web Soap order yesterday and everything worked! I only had one glitch! The box I had been planning to use for 6 bars only fits 4 bars so back to the drawing board on this one.
I will be mixing up a new batch of sandalwood vanilla today or tomorrow since I am out of stock :)
If anyone has soap ideas or requests let me know, that is all for today!
