Handcrafted Soap, a word about lye

Let's first discuss what lye is. There are two forms of lye for soap making. S odium Hydroxide and Potassium Hydroxide. One of these substances is necessary to induce saponification. Saponification is basically mixing oil and water together, to create that magnificent thing called soap! By the beginning of the 19th century, soap making was one of the fastest growing industries in the U.S. Rural Americans made homemade soap using a process from the Colonial times. They would save ashes from their fires for months to make the lye. The fat was saved from the butchered hogs until enough ingredients were collected to make soap. Thank goodness now a days the process has been simplified. And, we have more oils available. Mainly those from vegetables. We use pure quality, sustainable vegetable and nut oils. No animal lard is used. So, are MoonDust bath & body soaps made with Lye? The answer is... of course. Otherwise it is a detergent. No lye , no soap . It's

Fragrance Oils

Even in the beginning I was careful about the fragrances I chose. After all, the reason I started this hobby turned lifestyle, was for the natural benefits. I researched the companies that provided fragrances oils. The list of possible supplier shrunk very quick. Many tested on animals. or used unethical ways of obtaining their raw material. Now that I found some suitable matches to supply my fragrances, it became time to order samples. Let the playtime begin. My mini bottles arrived (fragrances too) Some were great out of the bottle, but achieve the quality I wanted in the soap or candle. Some fragrances were tossed when I opened the bottle. But, mostly I liked a little of this added to a little of that. All fragrances chosen are sulfate phthalate and paraben free. ~Have a magical day!

Hemp Seed Oil

This oil as a luxury for its skin healing properties. Due to its high content of omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids, hemp oil makes for an excellent natural emollient and moisturizer. It is especially useful for dry, tired or dehydrated skin and nails. It has anti-inflammatory properties which will help temper those winter burns around your cheeks. Hemp oil works best for acne-prone skin as it is light, therefore, upon application, it does not feel greasy or clog the pores. It can restore the skin elasticity and increases water retention capacity in tissues. This proves to be a great save during the dry winters. The antioxidants and protein may improve collagen production to reverse the signs of aging.
