AESO

Yesterday's major project (in addition to two batches of soap) - labeling sugar scrubs!!

When your Mother (Nature) tells you to stay home and make things... you listen!

Previously I had made a soap I nicknamed "ugly duckling" hoping that it would lighten over curing time. It did not. Last night I made the same formulation and kept my temperatures colder and now have a prettier lavender Tallow goats milk bar. :)

In the process though, I had a batch that seized (apparently I dont always make perfection)... and we did some life saving measures (including adding some additional butters, which means I will never be able to duplicate this recipe). She looks very pretty, but is unscented, uncolored, and should be very conditioning.

Whipped tallow (anhydrous) versus body cream (with tallow).

They both look kind of like icing. 🤔

Another day another soap?!

It may seem like we are making so much soap right now but there's a good reason for it! We use a bunch of water when making soaps, and it takes time for all that water to evaporate out and let the soap "cure" into a harder bar. So while we *can* use our soaps immediately, letting them sit for a few weeks will give a harder bar with even more bubbles than one that was just made.

All of the soaps being made the past couple weeks are going to be ready for a market event in February! ❤️ ...and behind the scenes, we continue to work on other products which dont need as much lead time.
