Get the Crud Out Oily Skin Soap

When I was living in Pittsburgh, there was a radio station that played a lot of Led Zeppelin. Promos for this station always included the phrase "Get the Led out!". While naming this bar, this phrase kept running through my head, until it stuck.
Like the rockers, this bar is hardcore! If your skin tends towards oily, this bar is perfect. With two different kinds of clay, this soap is designed to suck impurities (crud) right out of your skin. But, with the addition of Jojoba and Avocado oils, the bar remains moisturizing, so as not to change your skin from oily to dry!

Ingredients List: Saponified Palm, Olive, Palm Kernel, Jojoba and Avocado Oils, Oats, Kaolin Clay, French Clay, Tea Tree and Lavender essential oils

Lemon Poppyseed

This soap just plain makes me happy. With the bright scents (and astringent qualities) of lemon and lemongrass and the exfoliation of poppy seeds, this is a wonderful face bar for someone with slightly oily skin. Or you can use it as a body bar just because it is so lovely.

Rose By A Nose

My beautiful sister-in-law asked me to make a rose scented soap. Since we don't use fragrance oils, I knew this would be tricky. Rose essential oils exist but they are prohibitively expensive (no one wants to pay $30 for a bar of soap that smells a LITTLE like rose). Thanks to a LOT of research and one very helpful employee of the local soap supply store, we came up with a combination of rose petals, rosewood and geranium essential oils that smell better than roses by themselves could hope to. Blended into our very popular "Lollypop" recipe (same as Lavender Fields Forever), this soap is luxurious and fragrant and very, very feminine.

Ingredient List:

Saponified Palm, Coconut, Olive, Rice Bran and Palm Kernel oils with Rosewood and Geranium essential oils and dry rose petals.

Some Enchanted Evening Primrose Facial Soap

I went looking for a facial bar that would work with my odd dry/normal/sensitive skin and everywhere I looked pointed me in the direction of Evening Primrose oil. Evening Primrose has many, many properties ascribed to it that are too numerous to mention. It is said to have astringent and pain relieving qualities. A common nickname is The King's Cure-all. What it also does in soap is help alleviate redness on the skin (just ask this particular rosacea sufferer how much better her face feels). Completely unscented except for the scents nature provided (which truthfully is not much).

Since the 1930's, Evening Primrose Oil has been a common treatment for eczema. Today, it is also a treatment for acne and psoriasis. It also balances the skin. Plus the addition of Jojoba and Avocado oils makes this bar extremely soothing and moisturizing.

Pure. Simple. Cleansing.
Ingredient List:

Saponified Palm, Palm Kernel, Olive, Evening Primrose, and Avocado Oils plus Jojoba.

I have been having a hard time describing these soaps. Yes, they have the wonderful floral scents of rosewood and geranium but they also have the lingering goodness of ylang ylang and the slightly spicy scent from the paprika. The lather is thick and creamy and leaves your skin feeling smooth. Plus the colorful swirls are just so beautiful (especially in a sun-filled room).
