Soap Roots š«§ š§¼
Have you ever felt like youāve gotten away from your roots?Ā Ā
Do you feel lost?Ā Ā
Maybe you feel like you are just wondering?Ā Ā
The Purple Sage started from a love of making soap from scratch.Ā Ā
Choosing what goes into each batch.Ā What luxurious oils or butters? Nothing gunky.Ā
I mean once it's soap, itās soapā¦who needs all that extra āstuffā added to your soap.
Making soap is where I started, making soap has been my passion. I can remember as a child making āliquid soapā from leftover soap scraps and water.Ā Ā
Can I explain all the chemical stuff, sorta, but thatās not what floats my boat.Ā Ā
I love explaining how the soap is made, how it has great fluffy latherā¦and the fact that itās gonna feel great on your skinā¦and your skin is gonna say aaaahhh.Ā Ā
Thatās what I LOVE!
Soap making became more than soap making, it became a business and grew into a brand with wonderful products.Ā Ā
If I do say so myself, I consider the lotion I formulated one of the best on the market. It does what a good lotion is supposed to do, sink into your skin and keep you moisturized, without any greasiness.Ā
A lotion is not supposed to sit on top of the skin, thatās just yuck.
I also created a unique product (thereās nothing like it out there) called Bubbleaux bubble bath.Ā
Itās a safe option for adult bubble baths and with a relaxing Bubbleaux bubble bath anything is possible.
I adore this product!
I love taking bubble baths. I love that it feels so silky on my skin when I use it. Can you tell Iām really proud of this product?!
But SOAP! Soap is where my roots are.Ā Ā
Have I had some failures? You betcha! š¤Ā Ā
There was the time I made a soap boat anchor āļøā¦no kidding.Ā Ā
I almost lost my stick blender in that soap batter that quickly became a soap boat anchor.Ā Ā
Rock hard in no time!Ā Ā
Was there a lesson? Yepā¦never use that fragrance oil (fragrance oils can alter formulas) again, and I havenāt.Ā Ā
Are there ugly batches, or batches that don't turn out like I envisioned? Oh yeah.Ā Ā
But hereās the thang about soapā¦even if itās a boat anchor, ugly or not what I envisioned, itās still soap and it will still get you cleanā¦all the while still being gentle on your skin.
I havenāt even touched the surface of some really cool designs for soap making.Ā
I have done swirls, and curlsā¦but yall, there is so much more that can be done.Ā Ā
Iām toying with the idea of a few new designs in the near future. The option of what color goes with what scent, this makes me happy.
This is what I mean by getting back to your roots.
The love and art of soap making.Ā Ā
Did I just call soap art, yep I did. Soap making is an art, and Iām an artist.Ā Ā
Gotta love that!
