DeShawn Marie Anise Clove Ginger Handmade Soap





I'll have to admit I consider this soap my masterpiece. 6
months of research and collecting the right ingredients went
into developing this prized beauty.

This isn't for the vanilla ice cream girl, this is for the more
adventurous. For those who like to take a walk on the wild
side. Very exotic aroma with intoxicating qualities. Contains
ground anise from China, anise oil, clove oil and ginger oil
to fill the air with an aroma that will keep everyone coming
back for more.

NEW Sugar Lime Vegan Handmade Soap



NEW Sugar Lime Vegan Handmade Soap
I just had to feature my Sugar Lime Vegan Handmade Soap made with coconut milk.  This is one of my new creations...I'm absolutely in love with the aroma and the creamy consistency.

It's like sipping on a Mojito on a hot summer day. Bursting with Lime essential oil this soap is a real refresher. Sugar and mint leaves are embedded throughout the soap for exfoliation and a true Mojito experience. It's an absolute delight in the shower. Very refreshing and a great picker upper when you are feeling a little down."

    My Lemon Slice soap has been getting some attention lately.  The combination of Lemon, Coconut Milk and Chamomile is quite nice.  Lemon is always an uplifting aroma too and people tend to like it when they are feeling blue.  So just wanted to share on of my own coconut milk soaps with you today.  Hope you enjoy it.  I'm making a fresh batch today :-)

    Coconut Soap - Bath Plantation

    Coconut Soap - Bath Plantation
    Smooth and creamy is what I like about this soap. Made with shea butter & glycerin, so it's sure to be moisturizing. They are individually handcrafted from naturally crushed shea butter, pure olive oil, aloe vera & natural fragrance. I really liked the simplicity of this bar, but at the same time the high quality ingredients caught my eye too. I hope you all take the time to look at Bath Plantations soap.

    DeShawn Marie Ginger Lemongrass Handmade Soap


    When creating this blog this was one of the soaps that made me think of the idea as it's like a Thai dish.  Coconut milk, ginger, lemongrass come together to make this amazing coconut milk soap.  Seeing that most of my soaps start with a coconut milk base it was a natural choice to have a blog that featured all coconut milk soaps from around the world.  I'm a big fan as you can tell of using coconut milk in making handmade soap.  If you haven't tried this one of mine, I highly recommend it.  It gets overlooked quite often, but it truly deserves some attention.  It's a pure delight in the shower.

    When you think of coconut what do you think of? The tropics right? or maybe places like Hawaii or Fiji might come to your mind. That is why I picked this soap. It uses the whole coconut, well except the shell. They combine a rich blend of Virgin Coconut Oil, Coconut Cream, Coconut flakes and Cocoa Butter to make this coconut deliciousness.

    A little info about the Handmade Coconut Soap Blog.


    Pictured above is my Chai Tea coconut milk soap.

    Now that I have a few followers I thought it was time to give a little more info about this blog. I am a handmade soap maker, I love what I do and love sharing my craft with the world. Handmade soap is kind of like food, there are many different kinds that are delicious and you want to try it all. So I got an idea one day to feature all kinds of soaps that I like or that I feel my readers would like and put them into collections. All of the soaps I make contain coconut milk so I really wanted to take the time to feature some other soaps made from this delicious natural treat.

    Just like food I don't think you should limit yourself to one kind. We all try different types of food from Mexican to Thai and we all like different foods. I feel soap is the same way...you might feel like Italian one day and try olive oil soap and then like Thai the next and try coconut milk soap. You might go to an Italian restaurant and the food isn't very good, but then the next day you try another Italian restaurant and it is the best. This is why I decided to put collections together so people could try many different types of one type of soap in one place.

    With that said I hope you all will continue to follow this blog and see the many different kinds of coconut milk soap out there. I currently have a few other blogs that you might also be interested in. Please follow and help support any of them that you like. The links are below:

    Handmade Lavender Soap
    Handmade Rose Soap

    I also have a main blog that features my soap and a lot of nifty recipes, ideas etc. that you might also like to follow at DeShawn Marie Handmade Soap

    If you are a soap maker and think that your soap would make a good addition to any of these blogs please leave a comment to this post with a link to your soap and I will get back to you. Thanks so much and keep soaping!

    Apple Valley Natural Herb Garden Soap


    Apple Valley Natural Soap
    This bar is full of so many good things…just like a garden! We started by infusing sunflower and rice bran oils with flowers and herbs like chamomile, lavender, comfrey and peppermint. Then we added rich moisturizing oils like olive and shea butter along with healing aloe vera and creamy coconut milk. Ground lavender and chamomile buds add gentle exfoliation, and a variety of essential oils like geranium, clary sage, neroli and rosemary add a spicy herbal scent as well as a variety of healing and soothing properties to round out a very nice, summery bar of soap!

    spread the love ~ smiling
    Oh, you will smile, all right. Being a lover of sweetness is necessary. But, not a Patchouli lover. Truly. This is the turning point. I never understood the love for Patchouli until this. You can thank me later, or not. I understand how life gets in the way of a good thank you. And it takes nothing away from the original intent
