From: Dirk Howard Subject: (sage-news) New Soap Recipe Date: 08 Jan 2001 20:14:43 -0700 I have recently added a new soap recipe to the collection at Majestic Mountain Sage. I call it "Winter Sunshine". It is my attempt to remind me of warmer and brighter days. It is scented with Lemon Zinger, Stressfree (a chamomile type) and sandalwood fragrance oils. The soap is a base of palm kernel, sunflower and shea butter. The soap is colored a bright lemon yellow by using the Lemon Yellow dye. The soap lathers wonderfully and has a bright lemon scent. Any changes that I might make in the future would to increase the sandalwood from 1 ml to 3 ml and increase the Stressfree from 6 ml to 8 or 9 ml. Other than that small change, this soap recipe is a keeper! The recipe can be found at http://www.the-sage.com/cgi-bin/rlink.cgi?rcp175.rcp Enjoy!

As a result I had the opportunity to put the final touches on a number of recipes I had started ages ago and never got around to finishing. I thought some of you might enjoy trying them and giving me a little feed back. I'll release them over the next couple of days as time permits. I have found through teaching classes and doing a variety of different workshops that people are very divided when it comes to salt scrubs. They either prefer the oily gooey ones or the paste variety. I have created two different recipes, "Spa-erific" is a spa style scrub, it has oily texture much like many of the commercial brands that I'm sure many of you are familiar with. Plum Wild is my second version, it has a much more solid feel to it similar to a type of body scrub paste. Hope you enjoy them. Chow- Stephanie ** Stay tuned "Spa-erific is coming next..... Plum Wild Body Scrub- Created by Steph@the-sage.com Ingredients- .50 lb fine salt 3 ounces jojoba oil 1 ounces sunflower oil these two oils and their amounts can be interchanged to cut costs. 4 ounces Melt and Pour Soap Base ( I used transparent ) 1 ml Lemon Zinger Fragrance Oil 1/2 ml Pear Fragrance Oil 1/2 ml Currant Berry Measure your ingredients into a large enough container to allow for adequate stirring. I like to use an 87 ounces bucket. After your ingredients have been weighed into bucket in the above order, mix thoroughly and transfer into desired containers. This is a more viscous salt scrub it's not as oily and drippy as the Spa-erific salt recipe. Yields approximately 10 ounces. Enjoy!

If there are some of you who have a chance to make them both drop me a note letting me know which you liked best. Spa-erific Salt Scrub Created by Steph@the-sage.com 24 ounces Fine Grain Sea Salt 1 ounce Jojoba Oil 3 ounces Sunflower Oil 4 ounces MMS Liquid Soap Base 2-3 ml desired fragrance Mix all the above ingredients together. Add your fragrance. Once your scrub has been transferred into the desired containers and allowed to sit for awhile the salt will settle. There will be about a 1/4 of an inch or so of liquid/oil on the top. Don't panic this is very typical of this type of scrub. I like to pick up a pair of exfoliating hand mittens and a jar of this scrub, combined with a nice long shower, I feel like I spent the day being pampered at the Day Spa. Well...., almost!
