I really appreciate all of the support from those who have purchased during this sale. You all have been so helpful in making my move easier by making my moving load lighter! I can not thank you all enough as it's tough enough trying to move with 3 ft. of snow on the ground, so the less I have to move the better :-) Many thanks, I'll be back in action in March. See you all then.

Calling all sensitive skin people

Hi everyone, I am in the process of developing a few unscented soaps for people with sensitivities to fragrance, colorings and other things found in soap.  This line will be colored with only natural herbs and spices and will have absolutely no added fragrance.  The base will be made from olive oil, coconut oil and palm oil, so no nut oils (like almond) as a lot of people have reactions to nut oils in soap.  Here is a photo of my first unscented creation

This soap starts with organic olive and coconut oils in which I add whole green tea leaves to, ground green tea and a bit of green clay. Green tea is excellent for the skin, it has anti-inflammatory properties.  I'm hoping this will be an answer to all of you who have sensitivities to chemical and commercial soaps.

I will also be making some other soaps of this type over the Summer so there will be more choices coming soon.  I will be making one soap in the future that will not have any colorants whatsoever or fragrances....it will just be real pure soap!!  This is just the beginning for all of you poor people who suffer from this.  I hope I can help in some way.

I am looking for people who suffer from this to test these soaps out when I am done, starting with this green tea soap. Please contact me by commenting to this post if you have sensitivities to scented and colored soap!  I may be your answer :-)  If you know some one who suffers from this please pass this information on to them.

Thank you,
DeShawn Marie

HANDMADE SOAP LOAVES by DeShawn Marie

 My new soap loaf shop is now open for business.  I'm filling it up each day with new handmade soap loaves.  I currently have a selection of organic, glycerin and coconut milk soap loaves to choose from.

Here is my new Citrus Basil Soap, made with all organic oils.

I also have my new Honeysuckle Calendula Glycerin soap now available in a loaf, pictured below

For all fans of refreshing Mint soap I have several choices in my new soap loaf shop including these 2 loaves

Peppermint Tea Tree Organic Soap

Spearmint Vegan Glycerin Soap

Buying a whole loaf can be much more economical than buying individual bars of your favorite soap. Anyone who's afraid to cut the soap, no worries I can do it for you.  I do offer loaf cutting in my new shop for $5.00.

These loaves come wrapped in paper, there is no fancy packaging like my individual bars. If you are a big fan of one of my soaps this is a new option for you as you easily get nine large bars from these loaves which weigh between 5 and 6 ounces.  Plus if you are creative you can have lots of fun cutting the soap into any shape you want to.

Stop by for a visit and be sure to heart my shop while there :-)

Soap Opera - Get Pretty

I'm featured in Boston's Stuff Magazine this month and just wanted to share the article with all of you.

Soap Opera - Get Pretty:
"Soap maker DeShawn Marie describes her craft as 'art, science, and cooking class, all in one.' A naturally creative type who loves both dabbling in the kitchen and traveling the world, she found her calling when she stumbled upon a DIY kit while Christmas shopping in 1996; two years later, soap making became her full-time gig. 'It's like when someone is painting and they decide to put red and blue together,' she explains. 'That's how it goes for me with smell.' Now based in Brighton, she peddles her gorgeous scented soaps online at DeShawnMarie.etsy.com and her own site, DeShawnMarie.com. We chatted with the artist/chemist/chef about the inspiration behind some of the favorites in her line."

New soaps on the way!

Well as some of you know I've been working on a new organic line and last month I released my Peppermint Tea Tree organic soap. In April I will release a few more organic soaps starting with my new Organic Cinnamon Bark soap, which is pictured below.

I'm very excited about this new line of organics as I've been working on them for quite some time.  It's always fun to unveil my little creations for the worlds enjoyment ;-)  So far I've had a nice response to the Peppermint Tea Tree soap and I hope the Cinnamon Bark will win your hearts over too.

Wait though, that's not all!  I've also been working on some new Spring and Summer soaps and have recently released my new Honeysuckle Calendula soap.  It's a vegetable glycerin soap that I absolutely love, it's so pretty I can't stop looking at it...hahaha.  Below is a photo of it.

I've really been enjoying working with my new ingredients that I picked up on my trip to Vietnam and am very excited about the new creations to come.  I'm still working on a few that are not quite perfected yet which will include a Jasmine Tea Soap and a Basil soap. I haven't quite decided on what I am going to pair the Basil with yet, I've been tossing around the ideas of lime or rosemary.  I always feel so rejuvenated when Spring arrives, it seems to be the best time of year for me to create.  As the flowers all start to blossom I seem to as well.

HAPPY SPRING EVERYBODY!
