Honey Vanilla Cupcake Soap -

Every bar of Pure Simplicity soap is full of skin-loving oils and butters.

Honey Vanilla Cake is a combination of the incredibly sexy aroma of raw honey, cocoa butter, and chocolate. This scent is utterly phenomenal!

My soaps are all handmade by scratch in my kitchen, made from quality natural oils, butters, botanicals and micas the old-fashioned way. Produced only in small quality controlled batches, cut and packaged by hand. Each soap is a little different and unique. All soaps are super-fatted with olive oil for extra moisturization.

Every soap comes to you wrapped in clear cello, tied with curl ribbon and labeled.

What is Hot Process and Cold Process soap?
Both types of soap start out the same way. Using a cold process soap recipe, combining your oils and butters with your lye mixture. Once your ingredients have been mixed to trace (when your soap leaves a trail across the top) is when these different processes change.

With Cold Process soap, at trace you then color and fragrance, pour into your mold and allow to sit over night until firm enough to unmold. Once unmolded it can be cut into bars which need to cure for 4-6 weeks before use.

In Hot Process soap making, at trace you cook the soap. This can be achieved with a double boiler, a crock pot, microwave or even in the oven. I always use the crock pot method. It is easily controlled and just my preference. The soap is cooked for about 2 hours, until it resembles vaseline. The soap is now done cooking, can be taken off the heat, divided as needed and allowed to cool down. Colorant is now added as well as fragrance and poured into molds. After sitting and cooling overnight, the soap is unmolded, cut and READY TO USE~!! I do allow my Hot Process Soaps to sit for a week just to harden up a bit.

My preferred method is Hot Process, it produces a very mild bar of soap, it is ready right away, I can get a lot of fragrance into it and I love the texture it provides.

I hope you love my handmade soaps as much as I do!
