What to do with the leftovers?
Don't throw them!
Since I have started making my own soaps, I have stopped throwing the little left overs in the soap dish as they did have an emotional value attached to them. Now after a while it became too much just having them around the house everywhere. The next natural step was to find a use for them. Here is a recipe for you all to try at home as it only needs a few bits you all have to make your own liquid soap.
Find yourselves a used liquid soap container with a pump, wash it and set it aside. Grab a heat resistant container, non Teflon, best glass and non metal where you can prepare your soap in.
Grate the little left over pieces with a grater as small as possible as it will reduce the melting times.
A proportion example: 80-100gr of grated handmade soap will need about 2-3 times more water. On a low heat melt the soap together with water and adjust the the liquids accordingly as when cooled the mixture will harden slightly.
Things to bear in mind: the colours of the soap will mix therefore you might need to add some food colourant to make it pleasing to the eye if things like that bother you. Also try not to mix soaps with additional ingredients like oats, poppy seeds and etc. Essential oils will also mix when you melt, therefore to make a more pleasant or more prominent refresh you might want to add a few drops of essential oils your choice when the mixture has cooled down a little.
And here you are a liquid soap is ready at your use, enjoy!

An all rounder coolbean
Have you ever thought of a soap not just as a hand cleanser for a toilet? I have.
I used to be part of these customers who are directed through the shelves in the shops of different cosmetic products and seduced only by fragrance, buying and not even looking on the labels at the ingredients. But not any more. I have created a soap that is an all rounder. Forget about slushy soap in a dish, that stays in your toilet for ages just just to clean your hands.
I add at least five different types of oils and butters beneficial to all parts of the body, so you can use it as a face cleanser, shower cream and a shampoo. It does not irritate or dry out your skin whatever type it is, as these are all natural ingredients that your skin can cope with in the right way.
No tears shampoo too, therefore kids will appreciate it as much as you will. The rope is a practical detail to keep it in your hand steadily, so you don't need to chase it around the bath in a middle of your cleansing rituals. The other part of the ingredients might sound a little different from what you are used to find in a shops. But these are the everyday products that have all these skin conditioning qualities and are not being used nowadays any more, just because the industry has found cheaper artificial replacements. So don't be fooled by your nose and choose something that gives your skin a right treat. Get a coolbean!
