Clean The World Charitable Organization

Well, I learned something new today and now I know exactly where my odds and ends are going to go.  Read on:

Dear soap maker,

A 501(c)3 non-profit organization that provides much-needed soap to the third world, “Clean the World,” has asked me to mobilize the handmade soap community. The need for soap in Haiti is great.

Without hand washing, the broken sewers, plumbing, and toilets in Haiti will lead to diarrhea-related bacterial infections, which sadly effect children the most and lead to 5 million deaths annually. You can help!

All soap is rebatched by Clean the World before distribution, so you can send cold process, hot process, handmilled, melt-and-pour, even half-used bars as well as shampoo (opened or unopened) to:

Clean the World

8026 Sunport Dr. #306

Orlando FL 32809

The soaps do not need to be labeled in any kind of way (ingredients, type of soap, etc.). Please include a brief note with your contact information explaining that you’ve donated handmade soap and whether you’d like a receipt for your taxes.

Name this soap

Well, I fell off the blog wagon...sorry about that.  Just trying a little of everything to try to get my soaps out there and break into this saturated market.  I've got soaps in a busy craft mall, in a hair salon, sold some wholesale to a boutique, and have shops on Etsy and Bonanzle.  Any suggestions out there, soapers?  Oh, I also have appointments with a couple of wineries interested in carrying them.

Ok, so I got in the mood to make another wild swirl.....the lye ate my scent so it is basically unscented.  I think maybe Wild Child.....what do y'all think?

Blue Balls Patchouli Soap

Ok, so I've been noticing everyone and their sister doing funnel swirls.......since I'm already out of step with the rest of the world I decided to make a guy's soap.........Blue Balls! Geez, the world is already too serious....time to have a little fun, eh? Give it to anyone you like (or don't LOL)

Cutting Soap

I have a horrible time cutting straight lines.......so I wanted something to keep my wavy cutter steady. When in doubt, build it yourself. I made a guillotine out of scrap wood that my cutter slides right into, and it works like a charm! I may slick this design up a bit and mass produce these. Any soap company owners interested in this design let me know ;-)

Neon Angel

Ok, so I was trying to decide what colors to make a soap that used Angel as a fragrance........and Neon Angel was born. I have fallen in love!

Wine Soap

Ok here is my first wine soap....I am thrilled with how it's turning out considering how wine soap can screw up on you. I simmered the wine for 15 minutes and let cool before adding my lye to it....if you don't do this you risk a lye volcano. After adding my Berry Wine scent from Brambleberry ( GREAT f/0....not grape bubbleyum, this one actually smells like wine!) I swirled in some magenta mica and CPOPed it overnight. I love it.

Activated Charcoal Swirl Soap

This didn't turn out exactly like I'd envisioned but I like it all the same. I did loop swirls in a slab mold but it got pretty thick when I stirred in the charcoal so the white didn't penetrate all the way to the bottom when I poured.
