Making Herbal Cold Process Soap
As an herbal product maker, I use seasonal harvests of herbs and botanicals from my backyard garden as well as sustainably sourced herbs from trusted suppliers, such as Mountain Rose Herbs, and I incorporate them in my blends to create hand-crafted skincare made from nature and inspired by nature.
Sustainability has always played an important part in what and how I do things. I believe in improving our lives with more natural solutions which is why using the simplest rawest forms of ingredients, that can be found in nature, hold a great deal of importance to me and my business.
In the videos below, I share the behind-the-scenes process of how I make my cold-process soaps for my shop.
On my online shop I sell the signature Garden Collection which is a sampler of our five signature cold-process soaps. If you are someone in need of soap bars on a regular basis and likes living in connection with the seasons then the Essentials Gift Bundle is perfect for you!
The Essentials Gift Bundle is a seasonal soap subscription box delivered to your door every three months, in time for Solstice or Equinox, to celebrate the changing seasons by taking botanical inspiration from the upcoming season.
Scent Insperations:
winter = forest fresh + cozy all-spice
spring = clean floral + morning dew
summer = fruity fragrant + tart citrus
autumn = warm woodsy + pumpkin cinnamon
The soaps featured in the Essentials Gift Bundle are one of a kind soap bars made exclusivley for subscription box members. Alongside the handmade cold process soap bars, our online publication, The Meadowsweet Journal, is brought to life as a tangible newspaper print sharing thoughts and imagery on art, nature, and intentional living through the seasons. It’s part look-book, articles, gallery, inspiration, and good news; something we all need a little more of these days. The centerfold features either an art print or photograph, laid out across the entire two-page spread, that can be framed and displayed as collectible art.
Studio Mestiza gives you a helping hand by replenishing your bathing essentials with the Essentials Gift Bundle to automatically refill your need for cold process soap quarterly. If you happen to have more than you need that season, they make great gifts that you can have on hand and share with friends and family.
