| Welcome to Alex's Handcrafted Soaps |
 |
Remember (or imagine) how you feel when your skin is refreshed and moisturised with natural products. A luscious bath leaves you feeling relaxed and your skin soft and smelling delicious for hours afterwards. A luscious shampoo encourages your hair's natural oil production and gives it a beautiful natural shine. Your delicate skin is gently moisturised and refreshed, sensitive skin soothed. Not an indulgence but rather a reconnection with your body's natural balance. That is the passion that is poured into every product that I make for you onsite in my family's homestead here in the beautiful Adelaide Hills between the townships of Macclesfield and Strathalbyn, the passion to reconnect to natural balance. |

| Soap Bars | ||||
A slab of Vanilla Coconut Cream Soap is left to cure for a miminum of 4 weeks. |
Handcrafted soaps and shampoo bars are made with combinations of cocoa butter, olive, vegetable, sunflower, canola, sweet almond, coconut or castor oils and filtered rainwater. The oils are turned into soap through the process of saponification, using lye as the alkaline reactant. A cold process is used to retain the naturally moisturising glycerine. The soaps are left to cure for a minimum of 4 weeks. Each bar is then individually cut by hand so that it will have its own character. Bars vary in weight from 100 to 120 grams. Some of the natural colourings that may be used include egg yolks, coffee, cocoa, spices and plant extracts for example chlorophyll, kelp and tumeric. Other ingredients that may be used include vitamin E, Essential Oils, Fragrant Oils, beeswax, coconut cream, herbs and flowers. Please know that out of respect for the endangered Orang-utan and their habitat I do not use palm oil in any of my products. For more detail about this see www.orangutan.org.au and www.palmoilaction.org.au. |

A Coffee Scrubbie Exfoliating Soap Bar is great to stimulate the skin and also for cleaning really dirty hands after working in the garden or in the garage. |
Exfoliating Soap Bars | |||
These special soaps contain ingredients such as ground seeds, nuts, coffee etc, to give a scrubbie effect. They can be used to exfoliate dead cells and stimulate the skin. Also great as a scrubbie soap after gardening or tinkering with the car engine!! |
A slab of Frankincense and Myrrh Soap is hand cut into individual soap bars, each weighing a minimum of 100g. |

| Shampoo Bars | ||||
The shampoo bars are made using the same processes as for Soap Bars. They can also be used as a shaving cream or body soap. Usually there is no need to use conditioner after shampooing with these bars. Rinse with a dessert spoon of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice, mixed in ½ litre of warm water. This gives your hair a lovely shine. |

An Apple & Lime Soap Bar is labelled and ready to go. Looks pretty and smells delicious - be careful not to eat it! |
Bath Soaks | |||
Feel completely indulged in a relaxing bath surrounded by flowers and deliciously scented water. These are great for soaking tired muscles and if you don't have enough water for a full bath you could fill a small tub with warm water and soak your tired feet. The water can then be used to water your plants. |
A selection of soap and shampoo bars that have been cured and individually cut by hand are now ready for labelling. |
