This is the first in the line of Limited Edition Artisanal Soaps from Feto Soap.
At Feto Soap, we are always trying out different ingredients to bring you the best and beautiful soaps possible. This Shea Butter Soap is made with Red Palm Oil – no colorant was added to this soap, yet it has a beautiful golden hue. It is a cold process soap and still in curing mode, so not yet available for purchase.
Stay tuned for more soap experiments to come!
Thanks to all the students that signed up! My next class will be on May 18th.
You can sign up at leisure learning unlimited’s website here: http://llu.com/sdc/regclass.html?class=42614&classtype=

Soapmaking–Better than Store Bought
Discover the benefits and fun of making and using handmade soap. Not only is it better for your skin but it also allows you to be creative since you select the ingredients, colors, fragrances and shapes. Learn to overcome your fear of working with lye (an essential ingredient in all soap) as well as important safety precautions as you learn to produce a batch of soap. NOTE: Each student will take home one bar of soap.

I will be back at the Midtown Farmers Market with my Make Your Own Soap Booth on Saturday, January, 3rd from 8am – Noon. For only $5 to cover materials, you can create a custom bar of soap with the scent, color, glitter and toy you pick out. I’ll have butterflies, ballerinas, lizards, puppies & farm animals at the very least. You can also bring your own waterproof object to embed in the soap. The object needs to be less than 2.25 inches wide, 3 inches tall, .75 inches deep to fit into the mold. After you pour the soap, you need about 20 minutes for it to set, and you can use it later that day, if you like!
I’ll have handmade soap, lotion, perfume & lip balm at my booth. Come and see locally created cards, jewelery, clothing & pottery.
