soysoaps

We admit it. The name is a play on words. Just a bit of whimsy.

Why? Because we fragrance this soap with freesia oil to give it a
light floral scent that is captivating and crisp but lingering and warm at
the same time. The word "freezing" comes from "freesia". But there
is more to freesia than that.
It has long been known as a flower which symbolises loyalty, trust
and longing. We had wanted to use this precious perfume scent in one
of our products and were pleased that this soap lent itself so well to
our wish. But we wanted more than a soap with the fragrance of
freesia. We wanted one that looks great too. Delightful!So we added
mica leaves to simulate snowflakes.

Why? Just because it's pretty that way. Since we use natural
products, you might be tempted to say "Mica isn't natural". But is.
Mica is the name of a group of naturally occurring Earth's minerals
which are mined from around the world, purified, and crushed into fine
pearly translucent powders.

We had decided to call this soap "Freezing Snowflakes" but one of our
husbands said "It looks like a blizzard" when he saw it. We agreed.
And lots of snowflakes together make for a blizzard, don't they?

To this, we add Vitamin E and a mix of jojoba and almond oils. Jojoba
oil is known as the miracle oil for softening skin.glyceriny, we use it to
promote a softer more supple skin, Almond oil will help to nourish the
skin and to prevent dryness Together they make a great pair.

Ingredients: glycerin soap base, freesia oil, mica, vitamin E, jojoba and almond oils

Our Soy Soaps

Pat & Joce are not as young as we once were.
Well, not quite! And with ageing, changes happen.
The skin's outside layer gets thinner, wrinkles
start showing up without invitation, and those
pesky principles of gravity occur along with
decreased elasticity.As one of our grand
daughters so charmingly put it "Grandma, your
skin is cracked".Somehow or other, our skin just
doesn't bounce back as well as it once did. Of
course, these processes can be helped along
by other factors such as smoking, going out in the sun too much, poor dietary
habits. But enough of that. We decided to make a soap that "might" delay the
cracking.

Soy soap is a very traditional oriental soap which has been used by Asian
women for centuries to maintain and revitalise their silky complexion, and to
keep it young looking and supple. Soybeans                    are extremely
high in protein and natural Vitamin E and              have been clinically
proven to even skin tone and texture,                          according to
research released at the American Academy of Dermatology. We want to
offer you a wide gamut of products that we believe to be beneficial. That
is why we have added this traditional organic soap to our line
so that you can try one of the geisha secrets for yourself.
Our soy soaps have been such a hit that we are developing
some more.

When we were young, our Grandmother Celia told us stories about the
past. One of them was about World War 11 and how terrible it had been.
She even told us, as an aside, that some things were difficult to get. One
of them was green tea. That meant she couldn't make masks with it to
place on her face to soften her skin and keep it clear. We had no idea
what she was talking about so it went in one ear and out the other. But it
must have stayed in our mind because, lately, when we began hearing about
all the great anti-oxidant properties of green tea, we had an "AHA!"
moment.

So, of course, when we tried out recipes with soy, we immediately decided
to try making one with green tea. Yes, loose leaf green tea. Because
Grandmother Celia had said it was good for the skin.

Green tea is said to have energising. This soap is the perfect skin treat
after a long day or a quick picker-upper in the morning. Green tea has
antibacterial antibacterial and anti fungal properties by its very nature
and these properties are passed on in this soap. Some of our clients
have told us that the use it as a natural deodorant. It is also quite
astringent.

Since tea tree oil from Australia has a long history of traditional use as
an antiseptic and an anti fungal, it was natural for us to pair tea leaves
with tea tree oil to produce a soap with extra purifying properties.

Then we added bergamot oil also because of its reputation as also being
anti fungal and antibacterial. This essential oil which is used in
aromatherapy for creating a happy feeling has a basically very light, fresh
and clean citrus smell. So when you are looking for a crisp, non flowery
soap this is it.

Franky, we pulled out all stops to produce another great soap that has
ingredients with antioxidant properties.

Although it's one of our very latest soaps, it has turned out to be one of
our most successful. Don't be surprised if it looks brown rather than
green. That's what happens to pure tea leaves.

Ingredients: soy base,green tea, tea tree oil, bergamot oil, jojoba oil,vitamin E (for
some customers, we have used Earl Grey Tea and for some others, white tea leaves
which have fantastic antioxidant properties)

Only $5.00 per bar

Soy's Summer Bride

Appealing Apple

In the popular imagination, the apple has long been identified to the
“forbidden fruit” that caused the misfortune of Adam and Eve. Apples are
said to contain a precious oil with true anti-ageing properties. Thanks to its
high levels of essential fatty acids, the apple gives energy to the cells and
reawakens even the most tired complexion, vitalises the skin and strengthens
its elasticity. Isn't that what many of us are looking for? One way to help
is to use our "Appealing Apple " soap which is chock full of Granny Smith
apples that we slice or crush ourselves. We could use another kind of apple
but we find the tart,crisp scent of Granny Smiths particularly appealing. We
enrich this luxurious soap with Palm kernel oil, jojoba oil and vitamin E to
create a rich, creamy lather with a subtle, lasting fragrance.

We have been told that this soap smells just like a big bushel barrel of crisp
fresh apples at the apple orchard. Sweet and sharp just like fall. But the
most important thing is not only the natural scent; it is the benefits that will
delight your skin.

Ingredients: soy base, Granny Smith apples, palm kernel oil, jojoba oil,vitamin E

celebrate the season by including crushed calendula petals, also known as
"summer's bride" into this very special soap.orange known for its soothing
rejuvenating, replenishing and emollient properties. Calendula is said to
help to reduce blemishes, to greatly reduce inflammation and to soothe

melded all these goodies together into this special soap that will make
every lady, whatever her age, feel as young and beautiful as a summer's
bride
