Veruca Salt?



This Is Not Veruca Salt.

She was a nasty, spoiled little brat who demanded everything she wanted and got it. Love the name Veruca Salt, but Willy Wonka certainly made that name leave a bad taste in my mouth because of that icky girl.

Now, salt on the other hand, has a whole other meaning for me. Well, three meanings. It makes certain foods taste magnificent, it makes the ocean a wonderful body of water and it makes the hardest, most awesome bars of soap. I make sea salt soap myself, but I have been so busy with other soap making projects, I haven't really given more of my time to creating enough of them.

I found some nifty soaps to share with you... Sadly, not as many as I wish I could have, but it's 2:30 in the morning and I'm nodding off. Ok, ok, may I present! Salty masterpieces:



Marea Mediterania by Curat Clean




Hawaiian 'Alaea Sea Salt Soap by Kohana Bath and Body




Sea Salt Spa Soap - Lavender Peppermint by Aquarian Bath




Coconut and Sea Salt Soap by Luxe and Mast




Jasmine Salt Bar by LadyBug Soapworks


Salty Love.... (sigh)

The days are behind me where I can be bothered to make salt soap ... but I certainly enjoy looking at others! Loving Kohana's salt bar.

I made one batch of salt soap several months ago. Able to save one bar out of the crumbling mess. That one bar is the best bar of soap. So hard yet leaves my hair and skin so soft. You have now inspired me to try again. Thanks. I think

Donna, try using the salt bar tutorial on this blog that ladybug soapworks shared with us. The trick is cutting it before it cools. This way your fingerprints are no longer recognizable...
lol

Sea Salts said...

Sea salt is often touted as a more healthful alternative to ordinary table salt.
