It’s been a long time since I last made a challenge soap but when I saw that Amy is organizing a challenge concerning natural colorants, I immediately thought that this would be interesting to participate. The theme was something I love: alternative liquids. So bye-bye water and think of something different to make your soap….

The 3rd Week Challenge- Swirls Tops
I was really excited about this challenge, as it gave me the opportunity to try something I have never tried before. Looking at all those beautifully made soaps by Emily was an inspiration for me. My first soap is a Russian Cambrian Clay soap which contains coconut oil, palm oil, olive oil, sesame oil, avocado…
Green & white clay soap
This is one of my favourite soaps as it contains besides vegetable oils ( coconut oil, palm oil, olive oil, grapeseeds oil, safflower oil) green and white clay. I have already used once green clay in soap and I was really impressed by the benefits of this natural ingredient. White clay is known as the…
My First Landscape Soap
Interesting challenge, but i didn’t have so much time to think about this soap as I wanted, because I had to prepare the luggage for a mini-holiday 🙂 Soap made of coconut oil, safflower oil, shea butter, sunflower oil, palm oil. For this rustic soap I wanted to have a rustic scent also, so I…
Creating peaked tops…
I have never thought making soaps involves so much energy, passion, creativity, ideas, colours, scents, joy… This is a watermelon soap made of goatmilk and buttermilk, palm oil, coconut oil, sunflower oil, castor oil, grapeseed oil, frankincense essential oil and lemon essential oil, Italian rose ochre, red clay, spirulina, poppy seeds. I have tried to…
Salt Soap
I have never tried making a salt soap before, but I have recently read so much about the benefits of sea salt that I was really content that my next challenge was to create a sea bar. Internet is really a great thing when it’s about gathering info and thanks to some blogs, I gathered…
Graduate Colours Soaps
I believe this is my favourite challenge…because of its simplicity. I found the blue soap made by Amy so lovely that I couldn’t wait trying my own gradure colours soap. As for the previous technique I had to use colorants, this time I was content to use only natural ingredients. My first experience: red clay…
Faux funnel swirl
As I have never tried this technique before, I was really excited about it. I have watched some videos about this and according to me, the more colours you use, the nicer the result. Initially I was thinking about using carrotjuice with red clay and cacao but these would have accelerated the trace. So I…
Frankincense and Lemon
It is the first time I try this essential oil in a soap. I discovered this scent when I received a gift soap from Alexandra . The smell was different, exotic and I started to gather info about it. Since I am busy with creating soaps, I like more and more essential oils and I…
Beer Soap
As I have never tried before to create a soap based on beer, I was very curious what this challenge would bring me. I followed the same process as with milk soap. Seeing the result at first sight I was very enthusiastic: the colour worked out really nice. While I was already thinking of the…
Cupcake Soap
When I first heard of this challenge, I was thinking that this is really NOT something for me. I couldn’t see myself using a soap cupcake in bath: maybe because in my head a cupcake was too fragile and because I consider these kinds of objects more useful for decoration. But I was pleasantly surprised…
Rosmarinus officinalis
This soap was made of butter milk and coconut milk, which I have never used before. Before I have discovered butter milk, I was addicted to goat milk. But, I love so much the texture of buttermilk that I believe I wouldn’t be able to use another type of milk than this one. The challenge…
