Creativity Soap



Note: Magical soaps are a new item I've been making and selling on Etsy, and something I have wanted to do for a while, after admiring the magical soaps of other hoodoo-type shops.  My soaps are created with pure essential oils, absolutes, and botanicals, and I use melt-and-pour soap bases that contain NO detergents or surfactants.  They won't have the lather of a commercial soap, due to the lack of detergents, but they have great cleaning power AND are non-drying, as a bonus!

Coming soon to Etsy, at $6 for a full-sized bar, and $3 for a sample square.


Creativity Soap was conceived when I myself was in a creative slump...I thought, what could I do to spark inspiration?  Then it hit me: soap with creativity herbs!  Classic gingko leaves for clear thought, green cognac oil (a grape) for fertility of the mind, jasmine absolute for inspiration, and so on, in a base of goat's milk soap.  My thought behind the goat's milk is that milk is the nurturing food given to new life...So, food for the nurturing of new projects!

This particular batch of creativity soap was created on a FULL MOON WEDNESDAY.  Wednesday is the day of communication and working with your muse, while the full moon is when it is at its largest and brightest, full of potential and energy!

One thing I will say about this soap--don't use it before bed.  I'm not sure if it's the gingko in it or the combination of essential oils, but I used it the first night I made it aaaaand let's just say I was wide awake with lots of ideas and thoughts popping into my brain!

The soap ingredients are as follows:

Coconut Oil, Palm Oil, Safflower Oil, Glycerine
kosher, of vegetable origin), Goat?s Milk,
Purified Water, Sodium Hydroxide (saponifying
agent), Sorbitol (moisturizer), Sorbitan oleate
(emulsifer), Soy bean protein (conditioner)
Titanium Dioxide (mineral whitener used in opaque soaps),
essential oils and absolutes, herbs, and saffron for coloring.
