Coconut and Sea Salt is the scent for Etty Bay beach!  This beach, located 1.5 hours south of Cairns on the Cassowary Coast is not only unbelievably beautiful, but is also home to a number of Southern Cassowaries. Truly Iconic!

It has cute soap seashells on top and cassowary footprints. There is a sprinkling of Ground pumice powder on top to add to the sensory experience, but this washes off easily, as it is not inside the soap bar its self. 

This scent is a unisex fragrance, with coconut, salt water and subtle lily of the valley and subtle musk with sandalwood. 

This handmade soap is formulated to be conditioning for the skin utilising shea butter. You wont get that tight feeling to your skin after using it, and your skin will feel clean and refreshed.

My Soapmaking Journey so far...

Just on two years ago I was deep in the throes of being a stay at home Mum, I went to a live soapmaking demonstration, as I didn't get out much with four kids. (After previously having an amazing career as a scuba instructor on the great barrier reef off Cairns). I remember thinking it was pure magic, especially when the essential oils were added and a huge waft went into the air.   

Fast forward a couple of months, I decided to try and make my own soaps. I bought the tools and ingredients and the first soap was amateur at best. But it was successful enough to spur me on and try again.  I set up a workshop in the the laundry and made batch after batch, experimenting with all types of oils and ingredients. For every success, there were many failures and I learnt A LOT from those. 

It was important to me I wasn't adding to the plastic problem the world faces, so if I was going to put my soaps out here, the packaging had to line up with my values, so no plastic. I researched my options, and settled on a couple of suppliers that were Aussie based and could supply my needs with plant based and non toxic compostable packaging. So once the soap is used and the packaging composted, there will be nothing left on this earth, and maybe together we may have saved a couple of body wash bottles from landfill.

I've made a LOT of soaps in the last two years, had failures, learnt from them and continued on. I now have a product I'm excited to share with you, and hope you love it too! 

Thankyou for taking the time to read this.
