Eucalyptus Rice Bran Espresso Bean Soap

Been drinking a lot of coffee lately, might as well put the used coffee ground to good use.  Coffee ground is natural deodorizer and natural cleaner.  Rice bran oil is very good for mature skin and help minimize the wrinkle.  I'm really happy with the way it turn out :)

Shea Butter Avocado Oatmeal Tea Tree Milk Soap

I ground up some oatmeal into fine powder, sifted and added some into the soap this time.  I've been hearing good thing about oatmeal and glad I gave it a try, I also tried the new tea tree essential oil this time since I was bothered by acne lately, I've been using it to wash my face and I can tell it really helped with the inflammation on my acne!  It's much better than dabbing tea tree oil directly onto my face, burned like hell LOL.

Lavender Vanilla Shea Butter Assam Tea Soap

Making soap in winter really takes extra time to prepare because I had to melt the oil first while keeping it under 107 F to keep all the nutrient, I can't wait for summer to come so I have two less oil to melt :) 

Coconut oil melting point: 76 F 
Palm oil melting point: 95 F
Shea Butter melting point: 100 F

I was also able to put the maneki neko (lucky cat) stamp on successfully after numerous time trying and failing, although big stamp has good design, it's much harder to stamp on perfectly because the soap usually have a soft spot in the center of the soap.  I think maneki neko finally brought me luck this time stamping :)
