Soap, Wet Soap

Pink Pineapple

SilverHill Soapery

This will actually be a gift for someone I haven’t seen in a very long time, so I wanted to do a slight bit of customizing.  She likes pink, silver,  and fruit scents so this shows what soapmakers can do when you have specific requests.  Want soap to match your shower?  Check!  Want a scent that wouldn’t typically go with a certain color?  Check!  Want certain ingredients for your skin type?  Check!  Odds are, we can do that.

I added a tiny video to try to capture the sparkles since they weren’t showing up in the picture very well.

UPDATE: Pink Pineapple; the cut

Cut Soap, Soap

Irish Coffee

I didn’t add any color to this loaf of soap, because I wanted to see what the fragrance oil might do to it.  I thought it might darken some, but I wasn’t really expecting it to darken that much! 

I cut the loaf into bars first, then a few days later, trimmed the edges of the bars.  You can see how in just a few days it went from the beige on the inside to completely dark by the time I trimmed the corners. 

Sometimes, no matter what you do, the fragrance oil will darken soap, despite having been colored.  I’ve had that happen too.  Once, I colored with black to try to combat that process, and it still turned brown! 

Kind of amazing how fast, and strong, that process is!

Coastal

SilverHill Soapery

Ever since I started making soap, my husband has refused to use the store-bought stuff.  This makes my soaper’s heart very happy.  He’s very particular, so I consider it a job well done if he’s happy with what I’ve made him.  He likes certain kinds of scents and hates others.  He likes some colors and detests others.   Some oils he’s good with, others he is not.  As I said, particular!  lol

While the fragrance of this one is a duplicate of a name brand, its contents are not.  This is full of skin-loving oils and no harsh, drying detergents.

Wet Soap

Down Under Dreaming

SilverHill Soapery

This soap is inspired by my friend Miriam, who blogs at outandabout.com, and also on IG @outanaboutblog.  She regularly travels around her country (Australia) and takes amazing pictures showing how beautiful it is.  She is a great friend!  She’s always cheerful and has a positive outlook on life that tries to be uplifting to others.

This soap is scented with Rejuvenating Eucalyptus, and I think I’m going to call it Down Under Dreaming – where the land and sea meet the sky.

I can’t wait to cut into it tomorrow and see what it looks like on the inside!

[update: DownUnder Dreaming, the cut]

Jasmine Romance

SilverHill Soapery

I have a friend coming in to town in a few weeks for a visit, and she is a jasmine lover.  She always likes to pick up some soap when she’s in town, so I wanted to give her some options.  This is the first of three.

I am so pleased with how this turned out!  I hope my friend likes it!  My daughter suggested I may have to make some of this for myself as it matches our bathroom, lol.  I hadn’t noticed that when I was making it. 

On to the next batch!
