Shea Butter

·       Shea Butter is a great dry skin moisturizer.  It will soften your tough skin (I’m going to try it on my problem area, my ankles!) and restore elasticity to your skin. Shea Butter is used to heal minor burns and help that irritating sun burn!
·       When used as a shaving cream, it will reduce that razor irritation, blemishes, scarring and wrinkles and even prevent those after shaving bumps!
·       Washing your hair with Shea Butter works to eliminate dry scalp, irritation from chemical processing, and makes your hair lustrous and beautiful.
·       Shea Butter is said to have healing qualities for baby eczema and skin and diaper rashes.
·       For hundreds of years, Shea Butter has been used during pregnancy to reduce stretch marks!

Soaps and additives

I use three soap bases (for now)
Olive Oil
Shea Butter
Goats Milk

For Scent, I have Rose, Citrus, Lavender, Herbal, Jasmine, Vanilla, Patchouli, Eucalyptus and Cinnamon Essential Oils.

As far as Exfoliates, I can add blueberry seeds, strawberry seeds, apricot or almond.

I can make any color you desire.  But every batch wll be different!

New Beginnings Soap

I've decided to name my soap business New Beginnings.  Long story, but I believe it is what I need to do.  This will add the hiccup of adding my name to the labels after the name of New Beginnings, but that's a small problem to fix.

Hey, guys, you're not commenting!  Let me ask a question, of the three soap bases that I want to carry, which do you prefer?  Goat's Milk, Shea Butter, or Olive oil?
I will send a sample of each (unscented and uncolored) to anyone willing to be a test subject.  Just e-mai to me your mailing address.

Many thanks,

Roberta

Goats Milk Soap

Goats Milk • The benefits of goat’s milk soap can be felt by people suffering from various skin conditions or those just wanting to maintain youthful, rejuvenated skin. • The moisturizing benefits of goats milk soap surpass that of commercial soap because of the natural creams in goats milk. • Goat’s milk proteins kill acne-causing bacteria.

Olive Oil Soap

First, I want to tell ou about Olive Oil soap. It is wonderful for your skin, and I have a bar in the shower because my skin is sooo dry! Here is the beginning of my soap base descriptions:

Soap Bases and Why You Want to Use Them Olive oil • Softens and soothes dry and sensitive skin. • Relieves skin diseases like eczema and psoriasis. • Is non-greasy and excellent for acne sufferers. • Olive oil has anti-inflammatory properties which help to heal skin abrasions, rashes and sunburn.
