New products, new ideas, new thoughts... There are several new designs on the website and a few more to come. There are fairy designs, a mermaid and some is an awesome dragon design, very detailed. I'm working on some new ideas, a few new fragrances and hope to get these on the site by fall in time for the holiday season. Any ideas would be appreciated. Right now I have some cute spa bags and will be putting together some gift packages with them. The candle combos have been very popular. Be sure to check them out. I get asked every so often if my soaps are "antibacterial" or if I can make "antibacterial" soap. This question always makes me laugh as all soap by nature is antibacterial. There are basically two functions of soap. One is to bind to dirt, and bacteria, or other substances. The other is to decrease the surface tension of water. Soap is kind of contradictory in it's make up, as one part of it's make up is water binding and the other part is water repellent. Basically, the foreign substances (dirt, etc) becomes trapped in droplets of water after it binds to the soap's fatty acids. They are then rinsed away. So soap in itself is antibacterial as it removes the bacteria in the natural course of it's use. The effectiveness of a so called "antibacterial" soap is called into question as the actual antibacterial ingredients generally need to be left on the skin for at least two minutes in order to kill the bacteria. I know I generally don't stand there and time myself as to how long I leave the soap on my skin, but I know it's nowhere near two minutes. Therefore, my using an "antibacterial" soap would be fairly useless. According to an article on www.webmd.com:( http://www.webmd.com/news/20070817/plain-soap-as-good-as-antibacterial ) "An FDA advisory panel considered the question of the effectiveness of antibacterial products in the fall of 2005; the panel overwhelmingly concluded that there was no evidence proving that antibacterial soaps were more effective than regular soaps for preventing infection." So there is something to ponder...soap is soap. Amazingly I also find that the same soap that causes the soap scum in the bath tub and shower is pretty effective at removing said soap scum if rinsed down immediately after. I use bar soap and shower gel to clean my tub and shower all the time. I don't think I have purchased a commercial shower cleaner in years! ...read more
