So I thought I would start today off by doing a little experimenting...which in my opinion is what most crafting is all about. I had really been showing Goat's Milk Soaps some love lately, but I decided I wanted to try another outlet. Shea Butter just seemed to be the natural next step for me. It was readily available for me to play with, and I hear it has some wonderful skin loving properties that peaked my interest. Shea Butter Soap is used to treat dry skin, diminish wrinkles, treat acne and even help soothe eczema. Since my middle son has eczema, I figured this was worth a try.
First I needed to make the Shea Butter...
When trying to decide on a scent I decided to go with something fruity and natural smelling...so Apricot Honey was calling my name...plus I had left over Apricot Seeds and since I'm a fan of gently exfoliating the skin, this seemed like a perfect fit.
Adding the Apricot Honey...
So then we wait...and wait...and wait some more.
I honestly had no idea how this soap would turn out, but I'm really glad with the outcome.
It's so creamy and smooth and yet the apricot seeds offer just enough texture to help remove all the junk off of you...truly a wonderful clean feeling.
If experimenting is your thing I highly suggest giving it a try...if you rather take it for a test drive first, I encourage you to try a bar HERE
