Luscious Bubble Bars from Voyageur

Take your bathing experience a notch higher with these exquisite bubble bars! With the smell and look  of these delectable bars, you would almost think of them as bonbons. Crumble a small part of these delights and place under running water to spread their fragrance and create those bubbles on your tub. That is, if you can restrain yourself from taking a bite!

Ingredients:                                          Weight:

Sodium bicarbonate (baking powder)        1 cup

Sodium lauryl sulfoacetate                      1 cup

Cream of tartar                                   1/3 cup

Cocoamidopropyl betaine                      7 tbsp.

Vegetable glycerin                               3 tbsp.

Fragrance/essential oil                          1 tsp.

Labcolors™, preferred (liquid)                   q.s.

Equipments:

Face mask

Stainless steel/glass mixing bowl

Soap mold

Gloves

Procedure:

Procedure:

Note: Before starting, wear a face mask and hand gloves to protect oneself against sodium lauryl sulfoacetate. Project should also be done in a well-ventilated area as the chemical is a respiratory irritant.

Combine gently all dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Sift until no lumps are left. Add fragrance oil and carefully mix again. Try to avoid over-agitation as the dry ingredients are very light and waft easily. Gradually add the liquid ingredients while kneading the mixture; it will take the consistency of dough after a few minutes. Add color when mass begins to hold together in your hand. Pastel hues are preferred. Mix color thoroughly until incorporated in the dough, and no white spots are seen. Work as quickly as possible because dough tends to be crumbly as it dries. Add glycerin or cocoamidopropyl betaine if dough needs to be moistened. Set aside.

To create a multicolored effect, you can either layer two dough of different hues into a loaf pan, or combine them into a single mass for a streaked or marbled look. Try also rolling two or more dough for a jellyroll effect. Powder the molds/loaf pans to be used. Press the combined masses firmly into the mold/pan to hold them as they dry. Leave bars for an hour or more before removing. Place them on a lined cookie sheet to cure for a week or two. Once the bars have hardened, place in an airtight container to store.

Handcrafted Aftershave Cream with Beeswax

Shaving has been a traditional weekly grooming ritual by most men (and some women), especially for those who are finicky with their looks. Regularly snipping that persistent stubble though, can irritate your chops, causing nicks and razor burns in the long run. What better way to treat your jowls after a pruning session but by using an aftershave cream! In this recipe by Dave Cushman (http://www.dave-cushman.net/bee/handcremerecipe.html), a beekeeper from the UK Midlands, the formulation contains all the necessary elements of a facial cream: an antiseptic like witch hazel to prevent infection from cuts; perfume like soap (also serves as emulsifier), to add fragrance; and moisturizing agents like beeswax, olive oil, and vegetable glycerin to soften facial skin.

Witch hazel is popular as an astringent; its extract from bark and leaves is blended in aftershave creams, itch lotions, and anti-acne medications. It is also a vasodilator, making it a vital ingredient in various hemorrhoid medications and labor tear remedies.

Ingredients:

• 27 gm. purified beeswax
• 33 ml. olive oil
• 8 ml. vegetable glycerin
• 8 ml. witch hazel
• 5 ml. water
• 19 gm. grated soap

Procedures:

Prepare and heat a large double boiler that is partly-filled with water. Melt beeswax and olive oil together in a beaker, using the boiler as water bath at about 70°C. Using the same bath but cooling it to 39°C, mix glycerin, witch hazel, water and soap in another beaker. Add the water phase to the oil mixture while stirring briskly with a power whisk for 10 minutes. Let mixture cool to approximately 40 minutes and beat again until smooth. Pour mixture into pre-labeled jars.

*Note: to adjust ingredients, try increasing olive oil by 3 ml., glycerin by 2 ml., witch hazel by 1 ml., and water by 1 ml. if softer consistency is preferred.
