Yup, another one that is Palm free, think I must be on a roll now. This is a soap I have been wanting to make for a long time, tried a couple of times and it did not work, but too busy to keep going. Finally decided to try and crack the Salt Bar soap - Why you might ask... well we all know how health giving and healing salt can be, it makes a fantastic bar of soap, I have used 75% natural, Portuguese sea salt in this trial batch along with lots of coconut oil and Castor oil for bubbly properties. Its still very young - some bits hard, some bits very sloppy out of the mold - but has now hardened up beautifully. Its like polished marble. I have been using some already and it it bubbly, and lovely, scented with peppermint and eucalyptus essential oils - really fresh and invigorating.
Well,
I need a name. I am hoping that eventually this soap could be part of a new Portuguese soap range - have come up with lots of really naff names (Sea Breeze - see below) but need something that says it all, Atlantic coast, white icing sugar sand, lots of wild waves, very cold sea....... can you help? have a look at the pics and let me know what you think, all comments gratefully received

HELP! I would really love a name that reflected everything I am trying to convey, Summer holidays, Beautiful coast, surf, fab sandy beaches etc.
A really great prize available to the best name......................
Thanks, in anticipation
They look lovely! How about:

I'm not so good with the names - that's why I always ask MY readers for help. LOL! I just wanted to say what GORGEOUS colors you ended up with! Really beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh thank you guys so much, I means a lot I think I have enough now to come up with a name, If I can come up with the same soap again... well that's another matter. My Best friend in Portugal (and its planned that this will be part of the new Portuguese range - I hope) has also come up with some ideas too so I think I'm ready to go for it. The soap is not ready anyway for another couple of weeks but I like 'all at sea' , 'Azure waters' and 'Atlantic Sea Spray' - we are talking about the Atlantic coast here it can be pretty wild. The soap itself has worked great, it has hardened to a fantastic mixture of clear glycerin soap, wild 4 colour swirls and a bubbly froth on top, when its used (which of course I have not yet!) it is really bubbly and goes a really clear, transparent look and smells like fresh morning.
ReplyDeleteWill let you all know the final choice but thanks again for your help.
Oh yes, sorry, will send you all a bar plus a new extra for your help, just email me your address to soapchick@naturallymadesoaps.co.uk

Oh I was going to put in some ideas but you've come up with some great names already! Fab looking soap, I've never used a salt bar before but I believe they're just lovely!
ReplyDeleteOh go on Celine, give me some more ideas please. I do like the ones we have all come up with but still up for ideas. Yes, I can say, salt bars are really fantastic. thanks for your comments, always welcome. X
