soaps by Steso

I am so excited! I received a wonderful gift from a very talented soaper and my friend Tatsiana! (here is her blog). She sent me 6 of her handmade soaps, all of them are amazing.  Each soap is nicely wrapped in a matching box.

Here is Tatsiana's Lavender soap with 15% mango batter:

This is her castile type soap with 95% olive oil and 2% olive leaf powder,  with the addition of goat's milk. The soap is scented with a blend of essential oils: cypress, peppermint, marjoram, basil, grapefruit and lavender.

 

This one is made with calendula petals, it smells and looks truly fantastic!

 

 

Here is another rimmed soap, this time it's all cold-processed. It was created in our "duel" with Tatsiana where we challenged ourselves to make a cold-process rimmed soap. This one is scented with vanilla:

And another rimmed soap - the rim mimics the look of crocodile skin. This bar of soap is made with kelp powder and it's scented with a blend of essential oils.

The 6th soap is made with an unusual recipe: 55% extra virgin coconut oil, 25% mango butter and 20% shea butter, superfatted at 18%. It is unscented but it smells very nice. I love its look too! I am really curious to try this one.

But that's not all! I've also received this amazing soap cutter made by Tatsiana! It is designed to cut soaps made in slab as well as log molds.

 

It's wonderful, isn't it?
