Soap Sculpture

Welcome to "Soap Sculpture". My name is Lisa and I am so excited to have started this little venture of mine. It comes from months and months and months of watching tutorials and reading and studying about soap making and the advantages to making your own soap products. I had no idea it would lead to this! but I can tell you how excited I am to be crafting something so beautiful as soap! and also knowing that it is made from high quality ingredients that are nourishing and good for your skin. It all started out because my daughter and I both have skin conditions that make it difficult for us to use shop bought products because of the chemicals and dyes often used in them. Like everything else out there its very confusing knowing what to buy and what will be best for my skin without costing a fortune! So I gave up and decided to do my own research and have a go at making my own soap, and I am glad I did! I use a number of different processes to bring you quality in soap making from cold process soap to melt and pour. I use additives such as almond, avocado, macadamia, olive, coconut, jojoba and neem oils as well as shea and cocoa butter. These all bring a different quality to the soap as well as having different healing properties for your skin depending on what your skin needs. Different oils will also bring different luxurious lathers and feel to your skin depending on which oil and additive is used. It really depends on what you are wanting your soap bar to do for you. Where I can I use natural pigments and dyes sourced from minerals from the earth, ALL the products I use meet the approved for cosmetic use as required by Australian Regulations. All the colours and glitters used are skin safe! I was pleased to note as I made the soap that very little colour is needed to achieve beautiful colours in the products. Good to know because they are expensive to buy! So what does all that mean? It means you are getting quality products at an affordable price. It also means that you don't have to wait for me to post a photo of something that you like before you buy, you can talk to me about what YOU want, and I will be able to make it according to the oils you choose, the colours and scents you like and design/pattern. Hence soap sculpture is all about custom making you a bar of soap personalized to your wants and needs that will achieve its outcome and make you feel beautiful all at the same time. Along with soap I am currently working on a bath range of bath bombs (they are amazing!) and so good you could eat them!! well, almost haha, as well as bath salts, fizzies, hand cream (with additives for sensitive and itchy skin!) along with shampoo and conditioner in the future. I have been asked if I am going to do candles and I had decided no, but, its a woman's prerogative to change her mind. so, I have ordered my first lot of ingredients to make soy candles which should arrive next week, and I have some absolutely stunning fragrances and crystal glass ware for them to go into. I must give a HUGE shout out to Brambleberry from America, Aussie Soap Supplies and heirloom soaps in Penrith who have all helped me on my journey to discovering ideas, what and what not to do, and how to get started. Some of those ideas are shown in the designs that I have used on this page as I have learned techniques and colouring and then crafted my own designs. Each one of these suppliers are reputable and a wealth of information to draw from. I thoroughly recommend them as a resource and supplier for anyone interested in soap making. So there you have it in a nutshell. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to inbox me or post on this FB page and I will do my best to get back to you ASAP. If you are wanting prices on anything I am happy to quote you. Most products as I move forward will have prices on the FB page and my endeavour is to always make it affordable for you to purchase. As yet I have not set up a postage system as soap is delicate to transport, but, it is something I will look at in the future. I will also run from time to time competitions where you will have the opportunity to win soap or bath bombs right here on my page! yay...so keep a watch out for that and also specials will appear from time to time. Who doesn't love a special! So that's it for now. Hope to meet you somewhere on this soaping page and please let me know what you think of my ideas, I would love to hear from you! Happy new year! xx Lisa
