I restocked persimmon soap today, the previous batches were incredibly popular and went within a week or so. The popularity is great but unfortunately this will be my last batch until autumn next year because I didn't prep enough persimmon this year.

Both pics are the same batch of soap, persimmon is reacts vividly with lye, initially turning deep army green then to a dark brown when added to the oils, then it settles down to a warm caramel colour as it cures.

I never tire of the delightful pink and cream swirl of Very Berry soap, it's such a simple yet satisfying design!

New sleep salve infused with herbs that help calm and relax and improve sleep.

Made with olive oil infused with lavender, chamomile, passionflower, hops, and valerian - these herbs have a long history being used to promote sleep.

There are two versions of sleep salve available - one with added lavender essential oil, and the other with no added essential oil which makes it suitable for all ages and skin types. In the salve without essential oil, the soft warming scent of chamomile comes through first, followed by hops then the other herbs.

Apply to temples and wrists, gently massaging it in. This has become part of one of my children's bedtime routine, the routine of massaging it on the temples which has a calming effect, and the herbs continue to work in the background.

The salve is a perfect addition to a bedtime routine which might also include a herbal sleep tea and reading or light music. All ways to unwind from busy days, especially when so many minds are wired from too much screen time.

Restock of Rocky Rose soap.

This batch uses the original favourite Rose Petals fragrance. The previous batch used Bulgarian Rose because it is easier to work with (the batter doesn't come to trace as quick, that is it stays fluid and workable for longer). But nothing beats Rose Petal fragrance so it is worth the difficulty of handling!

New limited edition soap release - Blue Perspective.

I wanted to attempt a 3D design soap and I wasn't sure which size cube would look best, so I did two sizes! I still can't decide which one I like most đŸ˜†
