I absolutely love the raw look of this soap.  Very natural and earthy.  They use french green clay to get the beautiful green color.  I also love the combination of lime and coconut.  Very tropical and exotic.  Hope you all take the time to take a look at their collection of soaps.  I really like their natural and earthy appeal.

    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.

    QUEEN ANNE'S REVENGE - handmade soap from Mad Hatter Soap Co. by madhattersoap on Etsy
    I decided to feature this soap not only for it's beauty, but the packaging is adorable.

    I love the theme behind it and if anyone has ever been to the Caribbean they know the smell described in this soap. I've been many times and just love the spices and aromas of the Caribbean.

    I give this soap a thumbs up for fantastic presentation and the wonderful essence described. Hope you all enjoy it.

    Primavera Eye Candy Bar Soap by inalather on Etsy


    Primavera Eye Candy Bar Soap by inalather on Etsy
    Well today's coconut milk soap is quite an eye catcher. I was very happy to stumble across this one on Etsy. I love the gorgeous ocean colors.

    The scent is described as having citrus notes of limes and grapefruits over crisp green herbs and a woody base. It is made with the cold-process method and includes rich cocoa butter for emollience, avocado oil for it's nutritive and moisturizing properties, and coconut milk for it's richness.

    So I hope you will take a moment to check out their shop on Etsy.

    Virgin Coconut Oil - Organic Fiji Grown - Nature Pacific


    Virgin Coconut Oil - Organic Fiji Grown - Nature Pacific
    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. I just couldn't resist adding it to the blog. Hope you all enjoy it.

    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
