Natural Hand Crafted Soaps....
Heaven Scent Aromas wants all our bodycare products to be as pure and skin nourishing as possible, I insist everything is handmade from scratch using only the finest plant oil extracts, organic elements and essential oils.
Natural soap comes from a chemical reaction between various oils and fats and caustic soda (lye or NaOH), called saponification. Commercial soap is usually produced from tallow (animal fats) and other fats plus a variety of synthetic compounds which are added to produce the desired lather, texture and hardness of the finished bar.
In our cold-process soap making method the basic mixture of vegetable oils and fats, sodium hydroxide (lye), water, natural nutrients and essential oils are stirred together. No additional heat is supplied apart from the gentle heat needed to melt the oils at the start of the process and the glycerin is stirred back into the soap as the saponification reaction takes place. This means that our handmade soaps retain all the glycerin, making superior and gentle bars of soap.
Heaven Scent Aromas uses simple, everyday ingredients in our soaps. Depending on the type of soap I want to make, our soaps will contain a mixture of ingredients drawn from the following list: purified water, olive oil, coconut oil and other fixed oils such as apricot kernel, avocado, jojoba, hemp or sweet almond. Nutrients such as shea butter, beeswax and cocoa butter are used as well as essential oils for their glorious scents. Depending on the creation of a soap I often add other ingredients, such as powdered flowers or leaves, natural mineral colour powders, oatmeal and honey.
