Lavender Rose Chocolat - Pure Essential Irish Handmade Soap

Here's another of my new Pure Essential Soap range (all handmade in Ireland).  This is Lavender Rose Chocolat and it smells sooooooooooooooo good!

It's made with Organic Dark Mayan Gold Chocolate (we got a big bar and ate the rest!), Rhassoul Mud, Kaolin Clay, handmade Oat Milk made using Irish Organic Oatflakes, Colloidal Oats and Organic Unrefined Dark Chocolate Cocoa Butter.  Whew!! The soap is a very dark brown, almost black even and I've no doubt that's from the dark chocolate and the dark cocoa butter... nom!!

It's fragranced with an essential oil blend of 5 Fold Orange, Bourbon Geranium & French Lavender with a drizzle of Dark Patchouli... just incredible.  You get a slight hint of chocolate in there too, it's not mega chocolate soap but has the warmth that chocolate brings.

It's available for pre-order now on http://www.iamhandmade.com/ourshop/prod_2027232-Lavender-Rose-Chocolat-PreOrder-Cure-Date-18-June.html. Huge thanks to Titch for her fab photos www.facebook.com/takenbytitch.

We made a Making Of... video and a Cutting video too so I'm linking them both here as well, with all the finished images at the end.  Enjoy!!!

Two new Soaperstar Soaps! Indian Rainforest & Lavender Champagne... bliss!

Introducing two new Soaperstar soaps! I got back to some post Christmas soaping on Saturday and made the following two soaps, I'm just adoring the fragrances used and the subtle modern colouring... here come the details!!!

Both of our new soaps, Indian Rainforest and Lavender Champagne are handcrafted luxury Goatsmilk & Glycerine soaps with added Apricot Kernel Oil for extra skin moisturisation and an additional skin hydrating factor to ensure your skin in treated with the luxury it deserves!

On the right hand side, Indian Rainforest is designed as a soap for men - it is deeply fragranced using a wonderful blend of cedarwood, giving a warm woody masculine base, alongside the deep earthy scent of patchouli, a fragrance element used in many commercial aftershaves for men. However, many women will just adore this fragrance too!

The soap is coloured using two different natural micas, a deep forest green and a lighter green gold, alongside the white goatsmilk - giving an impression of dark deep Indian Rainforest.

Our Lavender Champagne is wonderfully fragranced with our Lavender Champagne fragrance oil, a blend of uplifting lemon against a background of calming, soothing lavender.
 
This beautiful blend is perfectly balanced - neither scent overtakes the other, the lemon adds a wonderful freshness against the more comforting lavender. The subtle colouring is enhanced with the use of natural glistening mica - a truly modern take on a traditional theme.

I hope you enjoy both of our new soaps - both are now availalbe to purchase from our online store - just check us out at http://www.soaperstar.com/ - we'll be delighted to see you there!!!!
