Flowers of our garden - bastille style collagen soap
On a beautiful April day, I went out to the garden and started picking some flowers that were just opening or growing nicely. Lemongrass, dandelion, violet, daisies, red dead-nettle, and ribwort plantain, I put them in a glass jar, added olive oil, and waited. So many plants required a lot of olive oil, so I obviously planned a bastille-type soap with it. Coconut oil, lard, and castor oil were added after the infusion had had time to steep. Montmorillonite green clay was added for the greenish color and better touch, and whey and experimentally hydrolyzed bovine collagen for care. The scent is Green clover and aloe, because it's such a good green scent. I also supported the color a little with cosmetic pigment so that the end result wouldn't be a gooseshit green. I don't expect a special effect from so many flowers, for that I would need a mono solution in the same amount. Just as the role of collagen has been controversial in the past, especially in cleansing products, it has become a pleasant, traditional, romantic soap.

Kertünk virágai - bastille stílusú kollagénes szappan
Lavender luxury sószappan - repesztéses technika
Lavender luxury salt soap - cracking technique
Salt soaps obviously have to be made in individual molds, the block doesn't work. I also like to put salt-free mass on the bottom of individual molds, because sometimes fate plays tricks on me and the soap comes out with an ugly crumbly surface, or it doesn't come out of the patterned molds. What happened now is that it was probably a very warm and stiff mass. Fragrance oil, alignment of stars, I don't know, that's how it turned out. When I took them out of the mold, I saw that the stiff, coconut-heavy mass cracked, I suspect thermal expansion also played a role in this. But it's still beautiful and fragrant. By the way, it was made on request, the salt and the chosen scent were specified, and the color was given :) It's mostly a coconut base, made with 10% castor oil, and whey.

Dubaji csoki szappan
Dobai chocolate soap
It was made for my nieces' orders (I would only make edible variations). I asked back what that meant? - Well, it smells like chocolate and pistachios and is rubbing on the inside like in the real chocolate. - Well... Let's just say that the pistachio scent is particularly forgettable here. I could have gotten it from America for a fortune, with an additional fortune in shipping and customs costs. Naaah... However, I know a divine dark chocolate scent here too, so here we go. All I could do for the pistachio scent was to add a larger proportion of sesame oil, in case something of the intense seed oil scent remained. This is the soap that you have to be very careful not to lick the spoon off :) The color of the outer layer comes from the horrific named caput mortuum pigment, added with dark purple mica and a little charcoal, so that it is more of a dark chocolate color than a milky coating. The scrub is ground pumice stone inside. The composition is almost the usual: coconut oil, lard, olive oil, sesame oil, shea butter, castor oil, fine whey and a little starch.

Poison Crocus korpás szappan
Wheat bran soap
I usually get wheat bran from my friend, which I use for baking bread. They really like using my soaps. Her boyfriend figured out that he wanted to ask for wheat bran soap. Well, I thought, okay, this isn't much different from an oatmeal version. I asked them what color and scent it should have, and I got started. By the way, Poison Crocus is a pretty unisex fragrance oil, so they can both use it without a doubt. The composition has changed a bit: in addition to coconut oil, lard, olive oil, shea butter, it also has peanut oil (allergy issue cleared up!), and lots and lots of wheat bran. It says a lot about its excellent quality that it had the same stinky ammonia smell when freshly cut as the very milky soaps. I think it turned out really cute :)
Lavender Luxury - Skin Luxury
Winter soap
This is a delicate perfume like scent, in which you can definitely feel the lavender notes. I designed the composition to be so nice, late-winter, gentle, creamy. It contains lard, coconut oil, olive oil and shea butter, with whey, pre-soaked oatmeal puree and honey. Whatever anyone says, the right amount of honey in the soap definitely softens the skin. Plant and animal milk also leave a more pleasant feeling than a water-based soap. It has a fragrance oil called Lavender Luxury and a purple shimmer.

Poison crocus sószappan
Poison crocus salt soap
Well, just as I didn't put enough madder root in the previous soap, I used just the right amount for this one. It turned out a nice piggy pinkish color. It's a pleasant salt soap, which also contains 10% olive oil in addition to coconut oil, just for the sake of feeling good. I even added whey to make the fragile foam of the salt soap a little creamier. The only thing left to do was take a photo in time, so I only have a first look picture of it.

Rainbow Sherbet
Rainbow Sherbet soap
This scent is exactly what its name suggests. Sweet, soft, idyllically sugary. I would have liked a more intense pink shade for it, but I undersized the madder root a bit for this. So it became just a powdery nude, but in return it got white glitter. Of course, this is hardly visible in the pictures, but I tried to bring it out from several angles. The composition is the usual: coconut oil, olive oil, sunflower oil, lard, shea butter, castor oil. Very pleasant, for both little and big girls.2025. március 23.
Green clover and aloe
Green clover and aloe soap on St. Patrick's Day
A delicious, fresh, unisex scented soap that screams for green colour :) Of course, these greens are usually impossible to photograph, so I'm exposing them under two different lighting conditions. The ingredients are traditional: coconut oil, olive oil, lard, sunflower oil, shea butter, castor oil, and there's no other extras. It's funny that I'm sharing it so close to St. Patrick's Day :)2025. március 15.

Capri olivo ombre szappan
Ez a szépséges ombre egy karácsonyi rendezvényre készült, unisex Capri olivo illatban, a kedvenc madárkámmal :) A szokásos alapmasszával (kókuszolaj, olívaolaj, sheavaj, disznózsír, napraforgóolaj, ricinusolaj, tejsavó) készült, és fehér agyaggal lett megspékelve. Persze ezek a kedvenc, fotózhatatlan árnyalatú pigmentjeim. És pont passzolnak az idei naptáramhoz is. :)
Capri olivo ombre soap
This beautiful ombre was made for a Christmas event, in the unisex Capri olivo scent, with my favorite bird :) It was made with the usual base (coconut oil, olive oil, shea butter, lard, sunflower oil, castor oil, whey) and was spiked with white clay. Of course, these are my favorite, unphotographable pigments. And they match my calendar this year. :)
Tuscan wine kísérlet
Tuscan wine experiment
This is the scent that will never results a normal colored soap, but the scent itself makes up for a lot. This time I only added it to half of the mass so that the other half would retain the planned color, and then I quasi-patterned it with the predictable brown spots. But it's hopeless... just like the scent, the discoloration crosses the boundaries. So the watermark remains as a memento of the original stripes. But at least I can see something from my beautiful color mixture. In addition to the usual ingredients (coconut oil, lard, olive oil, sunflower oil, shea butter, castor oil, whey combo), I now also added Tussah silk. Very pleasant, very fragrant. At least.
