Pomegranate Moisturizing Soap - A Decorative Natural Soap.
Replenish
your skin with natures best decorative natural soap. Pomegranate
moisturizing soap is completely natural with no added
toxins, additives, chemicals, or synthetic perfumes.
6 oz. Unscented, white soap, grated
3 oz. Milk
1 Tbsp. Almond oil
1 Tbsp. Aloe Vera gel
1 tsp. Pomegranate fragrance oil
Red food color or cranberry mica dust
To Make This Decorative Natural Soap:
In the top of a double boiler, heat milk, almond oil, Aloe Vera gel and
fragrance oil. Grind grated soap in a food processor if you have one (makes a
smoother looking soap when finely ground, but it's not necessary). In a bowl add
food color and/or mica dust to ground soap and stir until color is evenly
distributed. Add soap to hot milk mixture and allow the heat from the hot but
not boiling water do the work. Stir occasionally with a rubber scraper. When the
mixture is a creamy mass, press into molds, being careful to fill completely so
you won't have holes in your pomegranate soap.
This decorative natural
soap also makes a perfect gift. Your
friends and family will appreciate the gift of a pomegranate moisturizing soap. That this gift came from the heart and your hands makes it even
more special. Packaging and presentation play a predominant role in the
gift-giving of your decorative natural soap. Below are several
packaging ideas, but don’t let this brief list limit your creativity!
Boxes and
baskets are nice containers for decorative natural soaps, especially when you fill the boxes with
other materials. You can fill the box or basket halfway with herbs, dried
flowers or potpourri that matches the scent of your soap. Gift basket fillings,
other toiletries, washcloths or sponges also make great fillers in the basket
with your soap. Once you have added the filler and pomegranate soap, wrap the box or basket
in cellophane.
Coffee mugs also great "baskets." Add a filler to the cup and
place a bar of 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 decorative natural soap.
