Cucumber Mellon Exotic Bath Bar is the name of the soap I made today. It's a wonderful moisturizing soap with Olive oil. Soap has to age a couple of weeks to work it's best. It will be up for sale soon.

This soap looks and smells as good as it sounds.

Two days ago I made my own soap from scratch. The first time I made it I used hard water and it came out mush. But the soap I made today was done right. I used distilled water and I will have some to sell you in a couple of weeks after it has cured and is tested.

The soap I made today came out creamy like a bar of Dove. Without the lard (fat). Without extracting the glycerin from it like the big soap industry does. Without any chemicals at all other than lye. I used palm fruit oil, lye, water, and essential oils for fragrance.

All soap is made with lye.  Lye is what turns oils/ or fats into soap. This soap is as natural as it comes. Except for soap nuts that really do grow on trees. Before it ever gets to you it will be tested with proper PH strips so that it is just right for our skin.

Then I test it on myself, family, and friends, my dog. No way! Just joking! I would never subject my dog or any animal to testing of any products. I am cruelty free all the way. 

I know what I am doing here. I read about making soap everyday for the past three months before taking the plunge. Before I did this I made soaps with pretty shapes and great scents with melt & pour soap. Learned a lot about different oils, fragrance oils essential oils mixed with lab created fragrance oils, and essential oils. Natural fragrances extracted from the a plant, flower, wood, or citrus fruit, and I think some beans. Please let me know if you find this cool. I will put up more info about soap making, and even how to do it if you readers want.
