When I first started making soap the idea didn’t quite go over well with everyone.  I had some people make remarks such as “Why are you doing this? I just don’t get it?; There are chemicals in everything, aren’t you being a little fanatical?; Have things gotten tough financially that now you have to make your own soap?”. I didn’t expect everyone to understand. I recall my first batches of soap.  They weren’t the prettiest but I was proud of them.  I had created the recipes and I knew exactly what was in those bars of soap. I didn’t have many supplies.  I got what I could from the local craft store and cut up boxes or milk cartons to use as a soap molds.  I remember one weekend one of my sisters and her family came to spend the weekend with me. I was so excited to share with them my new passion. They helped me make a batch of soap that weekend and I remember them telling me that I should work to perfect my batches and that I was really onto something here.  Other people would love these bars too.  I laughed.  I couldn’t imagine others taking an interest in my homemade project let alone wanting to purchase some soap from me.  They encouraged me saying "this stuff is good”  and “you have to believe in yourself”. After that weekend they went back home and I didn’t think too much about what they had said until I received a box in the mail later that week.  It contained these soap molds and soap cutters with a note that said “We have your back, because we love you!” They believed in me!  I would never have imagined the next few years would have unfolded the way they have. Just this weekend at the "Love Builds Up" assembly program I attended I heard a point about the word encourage. The root is courage and the 'en' prefix means "to put in; cause to have". So when we encourage someone it is as if we are putting courage into them. It helped me learn the impact a few words of encouragement could have on someone to inspire them to do something they never thought would be possible.  Thank you to those who encouraged me. #dontdespisesmallbeginnings #glospasoap #inspire #encourage #buildup #lovebuildsup #smallbusinesowner #smallbatchsoap

Mango Butter. Have you ever heard of it? Many have heard of Cocoa Butter or Shea Butter but not this quality butter. This is one ingredient found in my Refreshing Spearmint soap. Mango Butter is loaded with vitamins like A and E, essential fatty acids, and natural antioxidants. This butter can be extremely nourishing to skin. Just as your body is nourished from within by eating healthy food, your skin is best cared for by the application of high-quality ingredients. Pure plant-based butters, like Mango Butter, can help to supplement your skin with the conditioning and nourishing components it needs to stay its healthy, beautiful best. #glospa #glospasoap #mangobutter #skinnourishment #antioxidant #skincare #allnaturalsoap #smallbusiness #smallbatchsoap

Activated charcoal is most commonly derived from bamboo, wood, coal or coconut shells which undergoes a multi-level process to become "activated". This process creates an extremely porous surface which will now bond with and trap impurities and dirt and assist in removing them from the body. As an ingredient in beauty products, activated charcoal basically acts like a sponge, sucking up dirt and grime before being washed away as you rinse. Its antibacterial properties assist with acne and blemishes. If you have oily or acne-prone skin, you can use the soap daily, and it can even remove makeup. If your skin is normal to dry, I would advise using it three or four times a week, or whenever you need a deep cleanse. www.glospaproducts.com #glospaproducts #activatedcharcoal #blemishcontrol #charcoalsoap #allnatural #soapmaker #nwd_glospa #bodycare #acnesoap #smallbatchsoap #brambleon #smallbusiness #hotprocesssoap #skindetox

Two of my favorite body scrubs: Orange Mint and the Coconut Lime Vanilla. Each made with nourishing oils and Organic cane sugar. To obtain the best results from exfoliation with a sugar scrub, apply the product while taking a shower. First, wash your skin with soap and rinse it well. Afterwards, apply a sufficient amount of sugar scrub to wet skin over your entire body, massaging in a circular motion to allow the granules to remove dead skin cells. Finally, rinse off well. Your skin will look and feel refreshed and healthy. www.glospaproducts.com #glospa #glospaproducts #sugarscrub #bodyscrubs #exfoliate #allnatural #realclean #bodycare #nwd_glospa #soapmaker #smallbusinessowner #organiccoconutoil #limeessentialoil #orangeessentialoil #dryskinrelief #smoothskin #vanillascrub #coconutscrub

I created this Green Tea Pomegranate face cream because I tend to have dry skin and wanted a nourishing and hydrating night cream. I've been using it for three months now and absolutely love it. Here are a few of the ingredients and their properties: Pomegranate Seed Oil – Improves elasticity and regenerates skin cells. Excellent for all skin types. Beneficial for anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, moisturizing and nourishing oil for dry skin, eczema and psoriasis. Aloe Vera – Produces collagen and elastin fibers, so the skin becomes more elastic and less wrinkled. Helps to prevent the formation of 'liver spots', which tend to develop in aging skin. Green Tea Extract – Powerful antioxidant, especially those geared toward de-stressing the skin.

According to Shakespeare, "All the world's a stage". On the stage of soap making, there are many players, each with an important role. Here you see three of the players: Cocoa Butter, Coconut Oil and Shea Butter. Each player imparts different qualities to a bar of soap. A bar can be customized by using various combinations of oils and butters in a recipe. 🧼Cocoa Butter contributes to bar hardness, is very conditioning and helps produce a stable lather. 🧼Coconut Oil adds cleansing properties to soap and creates lather with large bubbles. If a soap recipe is heavy on coconut oil and not superfatted (superfatting explanation for another day😉) this will result in a bar that is harsh on the skin and drying. 🧼 Shea Butter has great moisturizing abilities and adds a creamy, richness to the soap. As I mentioned, these are just a few of the key players. I enjoy working with different combinations to produce balanced bars, each with their own characteristics, that's are beneficial for your skin. #glospa #glospasoap #glospaproducts #naturalskincare #barsoap #soapingredients #soapmaking #coconutoil #cocoabutter #sheabutter #skincare #skinloving
