Summer 2013 Soapin'

With the economy in meltdown there are still ways to pamper yourself or pamper others with homemade soap.

Unlike commercial soap, artisan soap still contains the skin pampering glycerin by-product. Along with specially chosen oils and ingredients  such as in our featured G'oatmeal MilkNHoney, Ranch Rustics soaps are specially formulated to give desired results. Coconut and Olive oils (along with others) and honey, a natural humectant which actually draws moisture to the skin, make way for a luxurious experience as well as one that is skin friendly. Goat milk soaps, made with goatmilk from our own  herd, are particularly nice as goatmilk has the same PH as human skin and is creamy and gentle. Oatmeal serves as both an exfoliant and anti-itch agent for those with dry skin.

No fragrance is added to G'oatmealMilkNHoney. Just the natural fragrance of oatmeal and honey come through.

Today was a big soaping day. I poured 86 oz of Brownsugar Honeymoo while my bread was baking, then made 130 oz slab of a new soap called...are you ready for this? ...Monkeyfarts. It has a great fragrance of bananas and pineapple and tropical fruits. I just can't improve on the name. I did some little  'imbeds' in the slab for fun so we will see how that turns out tomorrow when I cut.

Lots of soap is curing but I do have plenty cured out and ready.

IT"S TIME!!!

The spring and summer soaps  are ready to come off the racks and into your bath.

Real soap has so much to offer. It's an inexpensive luxury that will truly benefit your skin.

All soap, homemade or commercial, is made by combining lye with fats and/or oils, and as a result of that combination it contains natural glycerin which is a humectant, drawing moisture from the air. It is removed from commercial soaps to be used in more expensive beauty products, leaving the product  more of a detergent, which cleanses, but also strips the natural oil from skin and hair.

Quality Artisan soap will give you a much different result.

Customers have reported that using RanchRustics soaps has solved their 'flaky skin' problems.

IT's a great way to get clean, while enjoying both the smooth, creamy, skin-pampering lather,  and enjoying the benefits of a variety of Essential and Fragrance Oils. 

For more sensitive skin or those who prefer no fragrance, we also have unscented soaps.

Each type of oil brings a different property to the soap. 

Ranch Rustics has balanced formulas that bring

skin conditioning and hydration, creamy lather, bubbles and cleansing.

Some of the oils used in our soaps are:

Apricot Kernel Oil-great for sundamaged or mature skin, helps maintain elasticity

Castor Oil- highly emollient and great suds

Cocoa Butter- skin conditioning, makes for a hard soap

Coconut Oil- Natural anti bacterial, anti fungal, very cleansing, with lots of suds

Olive Oil-High in both Vit E and Oleic acid it is very nourishing to skin. Castille soap is 100% Olive oil

Tallow or Lard-makes a gentle, long lasting bar

Vegetable shortening (ie:Crisco) good conditioning. [Was actually designed to be used in soaping and candlemaking, was never intended for food! That's a little FYI for you.]

Other additives bring even more benefits to the soaps, such as 

Honey- a humectant, drawing moisture from the air to keep your skin hydrated

Oatmeal-anti inflammatory, gentle exfoliator, helps to soothe dry, itchy skin, great for acne and eczema

Calendula-anti inflammatory, promotes tissue regeneration, used in many skin products

Nettle-astringent, good for acne, dandruff, and medicinal uses

Beer-great for coating hair and tightening hair shaft, adds shine, great for dry or thin hair

Now that you know a little bit about what we can do with soap, here is what I currently have available.
