iFaru launches its range of handcrafted soaps and cosmetics

Happy new year to every one. I have begun 2013 by launching a new range of handcrafted soaps and cosmetics. This is special for me because the launch has happened two days before my daughter's first birthday. This was not intentional. I had planned to launch these much earlier but the arrival of my daughter, participation in craft fairs and orders from just people who already knew about my products, I did not have a chance to get them on to the website.

I have been making soaps and cosmetics for a few years and it is such a pleasure to share my passion with everyone. Here are a few images of the soaps that are currently up for sale on the website.

This soap is called Tranquility. It has notes of deep musk with light floral notes and a touch of sandalwood and patchouli.

This soap is called Kentish Rain. Rainy, salty mist green notes made up of basil, green leaf and ozone notes with added notes of muguet lily, rose and jasmine bring out the touch of violet in the blend for sweetness.

 Lavender Dreams  is a soap that combines the bright, invigorating scent of lemon to help wake you up and also the soothing notes of lavender to calm and focus your mind. Together, these two lush scents create a unique and powerful bar of soap that you won’t find anywhere else. This soap has been made of finest essential oils of Lavender and Lemon.

Our Perfect Unscented Goat Milk Soap contains fine ground oatmeal and pure natural honey added for a wonderfully gentle scrub!  It has natural emollients, vitamins and triglycerides that are great for your skin. It is highly moisturing and is especially good for those with sensitive skin or eczema. Our unscented goat milk soap is actually our most popular soap. People with sensitive skin or those sensitive to smells love it. It is gentle and will never leave your skin feeling dry or itchy. 

 

Activated Charcoal soap is renowned for it's detox and renewing ability. Activated charcoal absorbs toxins and excess oils. In soap, it feels similar to using a clay soap. Our activated charcoal soap cleanses and invigorates the senses with the finest essential oils of Rosemary, Lemon, Basil and Peppermint.

My First Post

Hi everyone, this is my very first post on my very first blog. For those of you who don’t know me (which is probably about 7 billion people), I have a website called http://iFaru.com and an eBay shop on which I sell, perfumes, oil based fragrances and incense products.

Having sold perfumes for the last 4 years, manufactured mainly by other people, I have decided to add a new line to my inventory that is my own creation - handmade cold process soaps with essential oils and alcohol-free fragrance oils. I have been developing and improving my soaps for over a year and have received some very encouraging feedback from family, friends and existing perfume customers who have tried them. I also plan to add bath fizz, creamers and bath milk to the line soon after the soaps. I have a very ‘personal’ feeling about this as everything is made from scratch by me with pure ingredients. So, I am very excited to introduce this line.

Those who have tried handmade soap don’t usually go back to using soap produced by machines with harmful chemicals. I am very passionate about making soaps and bath products because it allows me to be creative and love thinking of new ideas and making new fragrance blends and colours to put in my soaps. I know exactly what I’m putting into each bar of soap and find it very satisfying to know that being free of chemicals and preservatives they are very good for the skin (and for the soul as there is a lot of love and care that goes into making handmade soap). I love bathing my children with them as I love feeding them the food I cook.

I have already made quite a few soaps with ingredients like goat milk, oatmeal, figs etc. I am now waiting for my first commercial batch of soaps to cure and testing some new fragrance blends. Everything I sell will be certified by an authorised health and safety agency.  Hopefully they will soon be ready and available on my website www.ifaru.com. I will soon be uploading photos of them and would love to hear what you have to say about them.
