Description

Scented with:  Lemon Zest, Victorian Rose

This is a different recipe from my usual ones. I felt compelled by the beautiful, very white sheep tallow I got recently to make a very white soap (without the addition of any micas or other colours). I did some research on the net and found some interesting historical soaps: "The White Windsor" soap as well as the "Titanic" soap and incorporated some aspects of those into my new recipe.
The White Windsor soap was originally made with 70% tallow and the Titanic soap had the lovely sounding fragrance mix of Rose and Lemon as well as the addition of shea butter for a bit of luxury.

To accentuate the luxury aspect I painted the details with gold mica, but be aware that this will vanish, when you start using it and leaves you with a luxurious white soap with a wonderful scent.

The prices for the soaps from this batch vary, as they all have different weights.

Soap Ingredients:
Saponified oils: (Tallow, Coconut, Shea Butter, Castor). Water, Glycerine*), Fragrance oil, citric acid, sugar

*) Please note that I don't put any extra glycerine into the soap - this is just the glycerine that is created naturally during the soap making process.
According to NZ labelling rules the final ingredients of a product have to be listed.

Properties of oils / materials used:

Tallow Provides excellent hardness to soap for long-lasting bars. Produces a creamy lather with good cleansing properties. Contains skin-friendly vitamins A, D, E, and K. Natural antioxidants help protect the skin.
Coconut Creates a bubbly and effective cleansing lather. Adds firmness to soap bars for durability. Contains natural antioxidants to provide some skin protection.
Shea Butter Provides deep nourishment and skin support. Adds creaminess and hardness to soap bars. Packed with vitamins A, E, and F, as well as antioxidants for skin health and repair
Castor Attracts moisture to the skin, ensuring hydration. Enhances lather and bubbles for a satisfying wash. Contains vitamin E and essential fatty acids for some skin nourishment.
Citric acid in your soap serves a dual purpose. It helps your soap perform well in hard water by preventing mineral build up, ensuring a rich lather. Additionally, it acts as a natural preservative, extending the soap's shelf life for a longer-lasting product you'll enjoy.
Sugar Added to soap recipes to increase lather and bubbles. Acts as a natural humectant, attracting moisture to the skin.
Micas are natural mineral-based pigments that are used to add colour and shimmer to soap. They come in various shades and are often used to create visually appealing and decorative patterns in soap bars. Micas are safe for use in cosmetics and soap because they do not contain synthetic dyes or harmful chemicals, making them a popular choice for adding vibrant and eye-catching.
Fragrance Oils The fragrances we use come from reputable sources and are phthalate-free. (Phthalates are synthetic chemicals sometimes used in fragrances, and they have been linked to potential health concerns such as allergies, skin irritation, and even disruptions to hormonal balance.)
