All Natural Tea Tree Soap Bars.
Just made this and I'm chuffed how it came out... Its my first pencil line soap.
This as an all natural soap with a refreshing Tea Tree
essential oil fragrance. Cocoa Powder was usdd to produce the cute
pencil line which separate s the lower swirl section from the topping. I
have used course ground black pepper as an exfoliant.
Will be ready around 26th of september.
Thanks for visiting!
Mmm.. Mint Chocolate Soap.
What can I say, Chocolate melts your heart,
so why not bottle that feeling and capture it in a soap!
Our Newest Recipe uses the finest olive oil, coconut oil, luxurious cocoa butter and ground outmeal.
*Soap containing oats and oat extracts have been shown to be
anti-inflammatory,
to relieve itchy, irritated skin and to help with
allergic reactions as oats are antihistamic.
Sherbet Rose
Sometimes as a soaper you find yourself left with the sprinklings of
past soaps and wonder what can be done with them. What better than to
add them to a new batch! Here we have a soap packed with all the
goodness of our usual recipe (Olive, coconut, palm & castor oil with
shea Butter, pure Tussah Silk and ground pumice) but filled with
shavings of soaps gone by... If that wasn't fun enough, you pack it out
with the cutest rose scent and we're done!

Shea Butter
Moisturizing Qualities
Shea butter is prized as a moisturizer. It contain fatty acids, which improve skin moisture retention and elasticity. Both are effective in easing skin problems such as eczema or psoriasis.
Skin Repair and Health
Shea butter is a good source of vitamins A and E, which strengthen your skin and help it repair damage. A 2009 study found that the caffeic acid in shea butter reduced the damaging effects of UV radiation. In addition, shea butter
contains cinnamic acid: a 2010 study found that it could repel both inflammation and tumors.
Acne, Stretch Marks and Scars
For acne-prone skin, shea butter is a wiser choice than cocoa butter. Cocoa butter will clog your pores, according to a report by Beneficial Botanicals. Shea butter is non-comedogenic, meaning your pores will stay clear. It may also help reduce the appearance of acne scars, because its antimicrobial properties can fight off infections.
An Interesting Read...
1. Made With Natural Ingredients
Conventional soaps available in stores today are not really soaps at all, but detergents made with synthetic fragrances and other chemicals. These ingredients tend to leave your skin feeling dry, itchy and tight. Handcrafted soap, on the other hand, is made with a variety of natural ingredients, fragrance and oils that are known to lock in moisture and hydrate the skin. Most handcrafted soap makers are also respectful of nature by not testing their products on animals.
2. Offers Healing & Curative Properties
Handcrafted soap often contains healing properties due to the lack of chemicals in the ingredients. Because handcrafted soap is made with natural ingredients obtained from plants, trees, herbs and flowers, their essential oils contain healing and curative properties in addition to natural aromatic fragrances. When such essential oils are added to these soaps, common skin disorders like acne, eczema and psoriasis can be treated.
3. Contains Anti-Oxidants
The skin is the largest human organ as well as the body’s first line of defence against dehydration, weather changes, infection and harmful substances. Handcrafted soap gives your skin the care it deserves by gently cleansing and locking in moisture. It also provides liberal amounts of Vitamin E oil and wheat germ oil, as well as dollops of natural and essential oils like coconut and jojoba. These oils have anti-oxidants in high amounts, which lend a longer shelf life and a balancing effect to the skin complexion.
4. Contains the Natural Humectant Known as “Glycerin”
Handcrafted soap contains glycerin, a bi-product obtained naturally through the saponification process. Glycerin is what creates the lovely, silky, lathering feel that moisturises the skin. The commercial soap manufacturers typically eliminate glycerin when manufacturing soap, which is what causes the skin to dry out.
5. Is Simply Luxurious To Look At
Perhaps the most appealing factor about handcrafted soaps is that they are gorgeous pieces of art. These soaps often have unique shapes and intricate designs with exquisite swirls and colours. Depending on the fragrance, some soap will even be embedded with chunks of flowers or oatmeal.

Mandarin Madness!
Mandarin Madness
A combination of olive
oil, coconut oil, shea butter and palm oil. If that wasn't enough this
luxurious soap is infused with pure tussah silk. It bursts with a fruity
red mandarin fragrance oil to stir the sences. At silvercrystals we
love to try new things so we've adding some of our very own freshly
dried peel for decoration, accompanied with a sprinkling of blue poppy
seeds.
