Busy Busy Busy!!

Yippee, the baby soap has been de-moulded (if that’s an actual word), and is looking lovely the chunks are a beige colour on the outside and what can only be described as a dusky rose colour on the inside, and they smell light & fresh almost fruity, yes I know they contain Mandarin, but you know what I mean lol…. The hearts are again a caramely beige colour and are looking quite smooth, the total opposite of the Sunflower and Calendula one's which are bobbly to the touch, its funny how different soaps vary so much even though they have been made with almost the same ingredients. I promise I will be taking so pictures and uploading them soon…… onest…. Lol.

I've busy making my Baby & Nipple balms (no jokes please as I think I have heard all of them)… The Baby Balm is good for all over use, especially on very sore bottoms, it acts as a protective barrier and it doesn't sting, which I found a certain high street brand did, and my little one wouldn't let me near her with it, so I created my balm, and we don't have any tears, in fact when I'm putting it on she starts to giggle and tells me I'm tickling. it also works extremely well on cradle cap as well. The Nipple Balm, helps soften the skin when breast feeding and helps prevent it from getting sore & cracked, but I also have a couple of Runner/ Joggers who use it to protect them from getting friction sores.

New Baby Soap!!!

What a morning!!! I have two children off sick, I've cleaned the bathroom, sorted the dog out & now I have almost completed my first batch of baby soap, I am just waiting for it to cool down so I can blend and mould it…. So I just thought I would make a start on my blogg, this soap is made with water infused with rosehips, borage oil and gently fragranced with Mandarin & Chamomile. Its seems to be taking ages to cool down to the blending temperatures though!

Well finally after 20mins the mixture cooled down enough for me to blend and mould, lovely! I have made 12 hearts & 16 chunks of soap, chunks don’t you just love that word, it can describe a multitude of things. But I think I use it quite eloquently  in describing my soaps lol…. Any how, I have got way off the subject, this soap will be suitable for Babies, children & people with sensitive skin.
