Oriental Jasmine & Rice Bran Body Soap-A Body's Natural Soap.
This soap is gentle enough to use everyday.
It cleanses and softens the skin.
1-4 oz. size bar castile soap
1/3 c. Soy milk
4 tbsp. Rice bran
5 drops Jasmine fragrance oil
To Make This Body Natural Soap:
Shred the soap and set aside. In a heavy saucepan over low heat, warm the
soymilk and gradually add the shredded soap until the mixture becomes a stiff
mass. Remove the pan from the heat and add the rice bran and jasmine oil,
stirring until the bran is evenly distributed. Spoon the soap into a mold. For
large body bars, double the recipe and use an empty milk carton as a soap mold.
Slice to desired thickness.
Castile soap is made from 100 percent olive oil and is used to soften and
moisturize the skin. Castile can be found at health food stores, some drug
stores, craft stores or major department stores. Oriental Jasmine & Rice Body
Soap is a wonderful alternative to soap, which can be too drying and
harsh for the facial skin.
Paper is a popular packaging medium because of the variety of papers available.
You can use brown Kraft paper, marbled paper, gift wrap, wallpaper, any kind of
paper you want. Your creativity is the limit! You can use your computer to add
designs and logos to plain paper or you can paint or draw on the paper for an
added personal touch. You can wrap individual bars of your body natural soap like a gift and either leave
plain or add extra embellishment by tie with ribbons, cording, raffia or lace.
Sticky labels, round labels and
heavyweight card stock can be used for labeling.
Coffee mugs also great "baskets." Add a
filler to the cup and place a bar of Jasmine soap in the center and wrap with
cellophane or tulle. Small brown paper bags, cello type bags, wood crates
and soap dishes are other containers you can use to package your soaps and
salts.
Cellophane and polypropylene are clear
plastics that can be used as packaging for this body natural soap and scented
soaps. Jute weave washcloths or tulle also make wonderful soap wraps. Fabric
can be wrapped around soap like a gift and tied with a ribbon. Different
fabrics will provide different effects. Corduroy and velour provide a rich,
plush look while silk gives an elegant look. Calico and burlap throw a truly
"rustic" look. The fabric you use depends largely on the soap you made.
