We are all about authenticity and promotion all the same, so thought we’d make a fun post about our meet the maker story (even though we are a few months behind!) So March Meet the Maker has been and gone, and we’ve only decided to do this now...
Giving handmade or artisan products as a gift is a wonderful way to support small businesses and give gifts that are meaningful. When you support a small or local business by purchasing their handmade wares for gifts, you can be assured that the item was handcrafted lovingly and with a lot of personal love. I think handmade gifts pass good energy on and have so much more empathy as opposed to a sterile, mass produced item...
You may have seen our last videos where we use the heat transfer method to make cold process soap. If you haven’t, they’re here, and here.
Basically, the heat transfer method stipulates that you add your lye water solution to your hard oils to help melt them, and simultaneously cool down the lye water solution to room temperature. This decreases the time it takes to whip up a batch of soap.
There are both positive and negatives for this method, which I will outline in this post.
We absolutely love the donut soap. The donut shape is interesting and encourages the kids to use it however most importantly its natural ingredients leave their skin clean, moisturised and not at all irritated or dried out like other soaps have previously.

I work on a farm and was given a tester soap with different exfoliants. My co-worker loves the loofah and I love the goat milk. My recommendation is for more lather and I cannot wait to try the next soap!

I'm a truck driver who is always covered in oil. My wife made me use the Farm Hand tester with apricot scrub. I didn't think it would get the grime off but it did and didn't dry my hands out. I'm looking forward to the rest of the scrubby bars and have already put my hand up to test them.

Unbelievably good how my skin doesn't dry up after the wash, nor is it left oily. It's perfect! My skin feels really smooth after.

Mum said your soap was one of the only ones she's ever used on her face and didn't have a reaction to! She's like me and has funny skin. Both of us are dry skin women and she gets break outs heaps and has found her skin is soft and not dry at all.

G'day TJ we got the soap and tried it out it works good and no itch. I get allergic reaction from some soaps. Thank you very much. Can I show it on my Sunday Session.

I love all my different Homestead Soapery soaps! They make my hands so soft and smell nice after a busy day outside. I love the way they foam up so quickly and easily. I tried a few different ones and find them really great and I can't wait to see what other ones are there to try.

As someone who has had some issues with very sensitive skin and other complications, I found that the first soap I tried (Castile) was the red/pink with a bit of exfoliating. It was very good on my skin, no reactions or itchiness and I'm very happy with it. I would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone.

Thank you for making one of the best soaps I've purchased! I've tried a few a couple of months ago and my favorite is activated charcoal - it cleared my dry skin spots on my face. Can't wait to try the new batch!
