Santa Lucia Saint Soap Santa Claus :)

Saturday, November 30, 2013 ,
Tomorrow is Sunday 01 of December
Sunday Mostly Cloudy 54° In Raleigh NC
December is the Months of My Grandmother’s Santa Lucia Borba  born in Italy in December 25, 1904, Immigrate to Brazil in 1917,who pioneered the natural handcrafted soap industry with essential oils in Brazil. , From the South To the Rainforest of Brazil Santa Lucia had to learn to (make soap from scratch) and essential oils from the plants out of necessity.
Here is  a picture of Santa Lucia (Grandma) Grandma kept a great big garden in her backyard. She loved to grow her own vegetables and had a variety of plants and herbs as well.

Santa Lucia (Grandma) on her garden . In this Picture she was around 103 years old

People use to tell story of my Grandmother’s soaps  in the village
Some of the oils Grandma’s extracted from the plants in the Rainforest she used to use and recommend as aromatherapy and home cures for a variety of ailments and skin conditions.
Santa Lucia was also a Santa Claus with her Saint Soaps and Herbs she  help many of people in the Rainforest .
Three generations later with the basic knowledge of soap working taught by my maternal grandmother I had made my first bar of soap at age seven .Grandma’s Lye Soap” I am proud to carry the name , I am even more proud to carry on the tradition of creating unique soap with the Rainforest herbs , spices oils and scent secret tradition ,
and to  bring her legacy to United States of America.
Early Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas to my Santa , Saint Claus Saint Lucia .
(Love and Respect).

Acne-prone Skin: For people dealing with blemishes, a good cleanser is an important part of an anti-acne skin care routine. My recommendation . Peppermint , Dead Sea Mud and Volcanic Ash.

Dry Skin: For people with dry skin, the best soap bar to use is Coconut Milk Soap Bar. This product was actually created to help treat people with the driest skin types. Often, soap will strip the skin of natural oils, leaving it dry and chapped.

What is Melt & Pour and Cold Process soap?
The difference between cold process, hot process, and melt and pour.
Learn about these methods and then choose which is best for you.

Cold Process Curing Natural Soap

Oldest method that humans have used to make soap

Cold Process soap is the natural reaction that occurs when oils, butters, or hard fats are mixed with a caustic solution. Very much like the old  pioneer artisan soaps like ours  Natural handcrafted soaps , these soap techniques have become highly refined into an art form as the ability to fine tune the saponification process has developed.

The handmade Cold Process soap bars are creamier and luxurious because the soapmaker takes the time to research the ingredients, to test until the perfect bar is created it. It gives the soap maker the freedom to make  bars of soap that can reach specific skin problems like super dry skin or oily skin.

Friday , November 1 , 2013 – Cold Process Soap

Melt and Pour
Is the easiest method. Basically, people just buy a soap making kit that will contain a pre-made chunk of soap. They then melt the soap, add various extras, and pour the mixture into molds. People who use this method are not technically making soap; they are improving plain, already existing, but rather bland soap. Although this might sound pretty boring, it is actually rather fun for people who get creative.

Melt and Pour soap the easiest method

Traditionalists might prefer the hot process, which is the oldest method that humans have used to make soap like the Ancient Olive Soap from Aleppo, Syria . And people who want to pamper themselves with extra conditioning soap might like the cold process from Natural Handcrafted Soap Company from The Brazilian Rainforests my Hometown :D .

How to Select the Best Handmade Soap for Your Skin

Look for a pH balanced olive oil soap that works for sensitive skin. While it’s important to make sure that a high-quality olive oil is used, it’s just as important to make sure that certain chemicals and irritating products are not in the olive oil soap. To achieve the best clear skin benefits, make sure that it doesn’t have any mineral oil or propylene glycol in it. There definitely should not be any petroleum by-products, paraben preservatives, or sodium laureth sulphate in it.

How to Select a Facial – Soap to Buy
Not all facial soaps are created equal! Many people have been using the same type of soap for many years but because our skin changes with time, that brand of soap might not be right for us anymore.
We are going to look at choosing a soap to buy according to skin type.
Goats Milk Soap for Sensitive- Skin

Goat and Coconut Milk
Golden Blossom Honey
Goat’s Milk with Pear Berry
Goat’s Milk with Beeswax
Butter and Goat Milk
For anyone with dry or sensitive skin or a skin condition such as psoriasis or eczema, goats milk soap is a great choice.
Goat milk contains lactic acid which is a natural Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA). AHAs are used in expensive Beauty Salon treatments such as skin peels which remove the top layers of skin to reveal younger looking skin beneath.
The Best Soap for Dry Skin
The surface of dry skin has flakes of skin on the surface which make the skin uneven and it therefore looks dull because it does not reflect light evenly.
Older people are more likely to have dry skin and long for a dewy complexion, younger looking skin that looks almost luminous because of the way the smooth surface reflects light.

Olive Oil Soap For Dry- Skin
Using an olive oil soap is a wonderful way to relieve dry skin and minimize fine lines and wrinkles. In addition, it helps to fade the dark patches of pigment called age spots and the appearance of scars, whether these are from injury or past acne blemishes.
Olive soap is great for removing makeup too and can be beneficial in skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, skin rashes and acne.
In addition, if your skin is sensitive, it is good to know that olive oil is hypoallergenic so you are unlikely to get reaction problems from using it.

About the Benefits of Orange Essential Oil in Soaps

Orange essential oil is an ingredient commonly found in natural soap products to provide distinctive qualities and aroma to an everyday cleaning agent.
Essential oils can be pleasant, but also toxic when used at certain concentrations; however, consumer products typically dilute the strength of the oil and test it for safety before marketing it. Many advertisers may claim certain advantages, though you should be aware of the facts before purchasing or using any soaps made with orange essential oil.

The Facts

All essential oils are highly concentrated from their sources, so you receive every drop of benefit the original source has to offer. Orange essential oil is carefully distilled from the orange part of the peel using fine oils as the carrier. When orange essential oil is combined with natural soap ingredients, you have access to a cleaning product offering a pleasant scent.
