Naturally soft, and as silky as the finest cloth slipping across your bare skin. This favorite soap is for everyone. With no essential oil's added it is pure soap at it's finest, fit for deeply sensitive skin. No fragrance, other than fresh, natural handmade soap ingredients. Olive Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, Jojoba, Shea Butter, Aloe Vera and pure Silk fibers contribute their virtues to this lovely soap. If you haven't found the right soap that works for your skin, give this one a try.

I use the cold process method of soap making. Here is a fresh batch of Frosted Silk in the making. I measure the raw, natural oils and warm them at a very low heat, 105 degrees is typically the temperature I like to use. Once the oils are melted and at the right temperature I turn off the heat.

Carefully, and using appropriate safety gear, pour the lye mixture over the oils.

Using a wooden spoon, stir vigorously until the soap batch becomes thick.

Notice how the color and texture of the batch changes as trace begins to take shape.
Trace is similar to making pudding or chocolate, the ingredients leaves a trail when a spatula is run through it.

At trace it is ready to pour into the soap mold.

Enjoy fresh handmade soap on your skin. Once you try your first bar, there is no going back to detergent bars again. All of the ingredients used to make Following Seasons soap is FDA approved food products. Your skin will notice a huge differnce. Enjoy Your Soap!

Licorice Root Soap

Fresh out of the mold. One of my favorite soaps to use, as I just adore the flavor and aroma of Licorice, not to mention it's medicinal properties. This soap is made with a deep infusion of Licorice root and a generous helping of the fresh root. Licorice root is both healing and soothing internally and out. Licorice root makes an excellent ointment for eczema, psoriasis, and redness of skin. Native American tribes used Licorice root to help heal sore skin of a horses back. I indulge in Licorice root soap when my skin is feeling dry or chapped. The emollient quality is so soothing. Licorice root soap can be found at Following Seasons in our Ancient Ways soap line.
