March 2020 | Fresh Corona | KCK Soapery


A friend suggested a corona virus inspired soap.  This is what I came up with.  

Colors used were:
- yellow, orange and pink mica for bright and vibrant corona virus
- white, titanium dioxide for, hopefully, peace soon
- black for all the chaos spreading around the world.


I used "Fresh Linen" fragrance oil which is a clean accord with soft subtle back notes of powder and musk.  Notes include jasmine, lilac, peony, Egyptian musk and French vanilla.




Enjoy!

March 2020 | Kentish Rain | KCK Soapery



My vision for this batch was a rain drop in the middle but the soap batter got hard fast and did not behave the way I needed it to give me the look I wanted.  It still has a unique look which I like very much though.
Fragrance oil used is described as a fresh and earthy mix of basil, green leaf, ozone, lily, rose, 
jasmine, violet, sandalwood, and tonka bean.


Same usual recipe olive oil, coconut oil, palm oil, shea butter, castor oil, and mango butter.
Activated charcoal for black, titanium dioxide for white, and blue mica.



My camera ran out of memory in the middle of my designing. You still get to see most of the pouring though.

Thank you for stopping by!

February 2020 | Aromatherapy Energizing | KCK Soapery


    I made this batch of handmade soaps a few weeks ago using a mold I bought for myself for Christmas and Valentine's!

    I always love the look of the soaps made with the dividers.  The different colors are more evenly distributed and not intermingling over each other.

    This batch is made using my usual recipe olive oil, coconut oil, palm oil, shea butter, mango butter and castor oil. Colors used were purple, teal and pink mica and titanium dioxide for white.

    Fragrance used is called Aromatherapy Energizing which is described as an uplifting blend of fragrance and essential oil blend of fresh and airy notes of lemon, garden peppermint, spearmint, wintergreen and floral notes of gardenia, jasmine, and rose.


I also bought a cutter for this batch.  


As of the writing of this blog, my cutter and mold are both unavailable.  I will keep an eye for when it will be available and add the link in the next post.


Wet soap after swirling. 
I always love the look of wet soap.


The two different cut made by the new mold and the new cutter.

Here is the video of the making and cutting of this mold.

January 2020 | Love Spell | KCK Soapery





I made a second batch of Valentine's Soap for a friend "S".  Plus, I want to make a successful batch using the new heart embed.  This time, I used my usual favorite recipe which includes Olive oil, Coconut oil, Palm oil, Mango butter, Shea butter, and Castor oil.




Scented with a combination of essential oil and fragrance oil described as a lavishly lush blend of orange, peach, cherry blossom, and white jasmine.


This time, I swirled the top using a skewer.


Only five bars out of eleven ended up being what I want them to look like.  Six bars have their bottom layer stuck on the mold.

January 2020 | Amber Soap | KCK Soapery


I made this batch right after the cut of the 50 Shades Valentine's soap.  This time, I used my usual recipe that never failed me and is chuck full of skin loving ingredients including Olive oil, Palm oil, Coconut oil, Shea butter, Castor oil, and Mango butter.  I also waited for it to harden more by letting the batter sit in the mold for two days before cutting.


Fragrance oil used is described as a rich amber with hints of sandalwood and cedar wood.  Colors were titanium dioxide for white and yellow, pink, and purple mica.


I used biodegradable holographic glitter for some shimmer.

January 2020 | Valentine's Icing | KCK Soapery


Since this soap batch is an order from a friend "T", I did not play with the recipe and just used my usual tried and tested favorite recipe, which include: olive oil, coconut oil, palm oil, shea butter, mango butter and castor oil. 


I still played with the scent by using one I have never tried before called "Angel". This is an essential and fragrance oil blend described as an enchanting jasmine touched with the deep sexy notes of musk, patchouli and brown sugar. This blend changed the color of the soap batter into yellow. But a little dose of titanium dioxide lightened it up. Since there is no vanilla content, I suppose the icings are totally safe from morphing. Then, it turned out to be creamy white and the red stayed very nice red.


Now, we are just waiting for the cure and these little icings are going to their new homes!

Thank you for stopping by.

January 2020 | 50 Shades Valentine's Soap | KCK Soapery


Happy New Year 2020!!!




This is my first batch of soap for the new year.  It's made for Valentine's Day and I used a new heart shaped embed I found online.  As you can see in the picture above, the design was good but the texture of the soap was disappointing.  It's what I get for playing with recipes and fragrance oils or maybe I was a little too excited for my first batch that I may have poured the batter too early or removed it from the mold a little early.

Hopefully, I get to post most of this year's soap projects more than last year and that I make a better soap next time.



Ingredients used were olive oil, coconut oil, palm oil, rice bran oil, shea butter, castor oil, mango butter and lye.
Colors were titanium dioxide for white and red mica.
Fragrance oil used is called 50 Shades it is described as: a seductive marriage of tained rose and wild geranium with addictive "can't live without it" notes of bergamot and gold amber.


Thank you for stopping by!

August 2018 | Baby Boy Shower Giveaways | KCK Soapery


These are for a baby boy shower giveaways!

It started out great and everything went perfectly as always.




The color combination were just as planned, blue stars on white mini cupcakes and I drizzled some tiny stars to make it more decorative.


Then, I noticed the white part changing into tan while it was curing and remembered that the fragrance oil "Bubblegum" and "chocolate" that I used have a lot of vanillin.  


The white turned tan and the blue stars went darker.


I tried painting white over the tan ones but it does not turn out as it was originally, so I left the others tan.

After the shower, I got a call from the friend "B" that a kid tried eating these.
Well, it looked like real chocolate now.
