I'm a soap making fiend!


Preparing for my first craft show has been a lot more work than I had originally intended. I have been making soap and salves, labeling and packaging for many days now. I ran my printer out of ink twice just trying to label all the soap that I have made. I will be at the Granville High School Music Boosters craft show on November 7th, this Saturday, from 9am-3pm. Hopefully there will be lots of sales for holiday gift giving. If you don't have a chance to see me at the craft show, I can always ship soap. I am working on getting this information on our website, but for now, here is the information that I am passing out in a flyer...

Bars of soap make great gifts even for the person who has everything! They can be used for soap, for decoration, or even as air fresheners in cars, drawers, or just to carry in your pocket!

Sunny Meadows’ soap is made with all natural ingredients including vegetable oils, beeswax and essential oils. A lot of the soaps in the store consist of things that have no benefit for your skin. Actually, on the labels of most they aren’t even called soap, instead they say “deodorant” bar. They don’t even claim to be soap!

In fact, when you use our soap you will be able to feel the difference. The moisture that is left on your skin is the glycerin in it, a natural by product of soap making. The big soap companies actually take the glycerin out of their soaps to make lotion with it. Doesn’t make much sense!

With our soap, everything in it serves a purpose. The coconut oil is for good lather in any type of water. The palm oil and beeswax make a hard bar so it can handle heavy use, while the soybean oil lets it soften just enough. The extras added, like the coffee grounds or dried herbs, are there to help exfoliate the skin. Also, the cocoa butter or shea butter will make the soap extra moisturizing while still allowing your skin to breath, therefore not clogging your pores.


Scents available include:

Gardener’s Soap- a woodsy smell with poppy seeds in it for the scrubbing of extra dirty hands

Rosemary Mint- my personal favorite, with dried mint for a long lasting scent

Sweet Earth- the most popular scent with a blend of lavender, patchouli, and vanilla

Lavender- with dried lavender to help exfoliate

Forest Rose- smells just as the name says, with a nice mixture of rose, patchouli and sandalwood

Vanilla Latte- with coffee grounds and shea butter for moisturizing and exfoliating the skin

Jasmine Vanilla- a good balance of scents between floral and sweet




Double Chocolate- made with extra moisturizing cocoa butter


Holiday scents also available:

Apple Cinnamon- with ground cinnamon in it for a swirl of color and long lasting scent

Pumpkin Spice- great to have for those holiday get togethers

Frankincense and Myrrh-
a great mix of the two, with subtle reminders of baby

All salves are made with cocoa butter, sunflower oil, castor oil, beeswax, and essential oils. This is a formula that will moisturize the driest hands without leaving them feeling greasy. Any soap scent can be made into salve, but the current scents available are:

Forest Rose
Lavender Mint
Pumpkin Spice
Jasmine Vanilla


Double Chocolate


Bayberry
