Hello blog friends! And a special welcome to visitors from Instagram! If you aren't following my soap page, please hop on over to @shadowhillshandmade and follow me
for information and fun giveaways!
I am happy to announce that I will be holding
my annual soap sale on
Monday, December 14th, at 8:00 am PST.
For all my returning customers, I invite you skip down to view this year's selections.
For newcomers, first allow me to tell you a little about my soap and why you'll love them! :-)
My soaps are 100% natural – never any harsh chemicals or ingredients
to harm your skin. They contain natural glycerine which is formed in
the saponification (soap making) process. Glycerine actually attracts
moisture to your skin. Most commercial soaps lack glycerine because
they are extracted out for use in other products. Detergents are then added
in and that is why your skin can feel dry and itchy. I used to say I
had "dry skin" but it was actually what I was putting on my skin that
made it such! Because my soap lacks detergents and other harsh additives, it
is softer. Please allow it drain and air dry well
between uses to extend its usage.
That said, do you know what is in the soap you use?
I do, because I control everything that goes into the soap I make! I
choose only quality, natural ingredients such as coconut, organic palm,
and olive oils, 100% pure essential oils, goat’s milk, and botanicals as natural colorants and
exfolliants. Yes, I use sodium hydroxide, as it is essential in soap making, but rest
assured it evaporates in the saponification and curing process. You can read more
about the properties of each specific type of soap below.
All the soap is made in small batches, by the cold process method. It is cut by hand in my own kitchen, and then cured for at least 4 weeks to ensure a quality soap. These are good size bars - around 4 1/2 oz each. I really enjoy making soap for my own
family and it’s a great joy to put a beautiful, hand made product into your hands. Thank you for your support!
This time I will be offering 4 different types of soap:
All-vegetable oil
Goat milk
Goat milk oatmeal
Shea butter
ALL-VEGETABLE OIL SOAPS - $4.00 each plus tax
Made with coconut, organic palm, and olive oils.
A great basic body or facial bar.
Eucalyptus, Tea Tree & Mint
Tea
Tree (melaleuca) has numerous valuable properties - chiefly
antibacterial, antiseptic, and antiviral. This soap also contains
spirulina (a natural algae). Spirulina contains chlorophyll and beta
carotene which may aid in purifying the skin and help with acne.
Calendula & Lemon
Always
a favorite! Calendula petals (from the Marigold plant) contain
antioxidants and carotenoids, and can be soothing to dry or irritated
skin. This bar is bursting with fresh lemon aroma.
Cedarwood, Orange & Moroccan Red Clay
This musky, citrusy soap contains Moroccan red clay. Clays have qualities which may help remove
toxins and impurities from the skin.
Chai Tea
Returning
to the lineup, this sweet and spicy bar is reminiscent of the tea we
have come to love. Made with brewed & ground Chai tea leaves, then
enhanced with cinnamon, clove, and a touch of anise essential oils.
SHEA BUTTER SOAPS - $4.00 each plus tax
Same oils as the all-vegetable oil soap,
with the addition of unrefined shea butter to provide or extra richness (this is
considered a "super fatted" soap).
Shea butter moisturizes and contains skin
benefiting vitamins A and E. You can really feel the difference when
you use a shea butter soap. Your dry winter skin may fall in love this soap!
Rosemary & Citrus
Lavender & Grapefruit
Spearmint & Orange
GOAT MILK SOAPS - $4.00 each plus tax
Same oils as the all-vegetable oil soap,
but the addition of goat’s milk provides rich emollients and vitamins
to help moisturize and nourish the skin. It contains capric-capryllic
triglycerides, which have been shown effective in moisturizing skin, and goat milk
soap's gentle natural ingredients can be beneficial to people with skin
sensitivities or eczema. I am offering one special soap formulated
especially for hand washing. It contains coffee
grounds for deep cleaning and odor removal (think: garlic & onion).
Frankincense & Myrrh
This
is the perfect Christmas soap, because Matthew chapter 2 tells us that
the wise men brought the baby Jesus gifts of gold, frankincense and
myrrh! Gold was a precious metal, frankincense was used as a perfume or
incense, and myrrh was an annointing oil. These two essential oils
have been valued for centuries for their potent healing properties.
Colored naturally with organic raw cacao powder.
Lavender Rose
A
friend brought me dried rose petals from her trip to Greece, and I
immediately thought of using them in a soap. This soap gets its pink
color from rose clay. The rose petals on top (besides being beautiful) provide
light exfoliation. Enhanced with lavender essential oil.
Chamomile {unscented}
Looking for a pure soap for sensitive skin, babies or children?
Try this one, infused with soothing chamomile and nothing else added in.
Peppermint Mocha {hand soap}
One of my personal favorites, I keep
this by the kitchen sink to remove the odor of garlic and onion from my
hands. This soap contains organic coffee grounds which scrub hands
and helps neutralize odors. The invigorating peppermint will wake up your senses!
GOAT MILK OATMEAL SOAPS - $4.00 each plus tax
All the moisture of goat milk soap,
oatmeal soap can also provides numerous additional benefits. It is appropriate for
both oily and dry skin types. Dry skin can benefit by having its pH
balanced by the oatmeal, while oily skin can benefit by the absorbent
nature of oats. Plus, there is a healthy fat in oatmeal that can help keep
skin moist. The polysaccharides in oatmeal can also help protect the skin after
it is washed. Oatmeal soap contains polyphenols, which can possibly benefit
acne prone skin. Oatmeal soaps lather great and provide light
exfoliation, which can help remove dead skin.
Anise & Orange
Lavender & Lime
Herbal Lemon
Can’t decide?
Try a sample pack!
I will surprise you with 4 or 8 different soaps in
half bar sizes.
Each pack will contain at least one of each type of soap
(goat milk, goat milk oatmeal, vegetable oil, and shea butter)
4 bar pack $8 plus tax
8 bar pack $16 plus tax
