Castile Bar - change of design

I love the gentle and mild Castile Bar.... we are fortunate to be able to source local Olive Oil from the Margaret River region of Western Australia and with the some of the finest and freshest olive oil, we think our Castile Bar is really quite special!

Our previous design of Castile Bar had a rose bud of the top of the bar, but this "egg-shell skull" soap needs to be treated soooo gently, to ensure the rose bud it not knocked off the soap or broken off, leaving a small brown dimple where the bud was.

Bare Naked Body Castile Bar - handle with care FRAGILE

So the Castile Bar has been re-designed, with a slightly textured top and sprinkle of luxury Lavender buds on top... what do you think?

New Bare Naked Body Castile Bar

This Bare Naked Lady

It is hot in Perth, Western Australia at the moment and this meant that this palm-oil free soap traced very quickly, so the red French clay tops are not as pretty as I usually like. The smell is fantastically romantic and sensual, with sweet orange, ylang ylang and grapefruit essential oils. The red French clay is also great for dry or mature skin.

At markets, people think this soap looks like fudge or white and pink chocolate... mmm.... Don't try to eat it though!

Cut into generous bars for ultimate bath time pleasure !!!

Perth Upmarket - 4 March 2012

Perth Upmarket  - www.perthupmarket.com.au  - is a brilliant market with handcrafted, artisan, locally made wares. On Sunday, Bare Naked Body had a stall on the verandah at UWA and we had a great time, talking about our soaps and launching our new range of Bath Salts and Lip Balms.

Bare Naked Body market stall set up before the shoppers arrive!

We had a brilliant day, meeting other people with similar dedication to luxurious and handcrafted products and had great feedback on our soaps!

Here is a sneak peek at the Nourishing Lip Balms which will shortly be posted on the website for sale...

In the meantime, I have to get going on setting up the Bare Naked Body Etsy account shop with our many luxurious items.

Freshly Cut Soap - Bare Jojoba Bar

I love cutting fresh soap! You just never know how the glorious patterns will turn out and how the textured tops will look. My Jojoba Bar is one of my best sellers – with nourishing jojoba oil, which is similar to our skins natural sebum, it is a fantastic bar for body, face and shaving.

The Bare Jojoba Bar does not contain any essential oils, making is especially soothing for sensitive skin and great for shaving your legs!

Beautiful! Cut into long logs of soap and then hand cut into individual bars.

This batch will be ready on 6 April 2012 and I have this is stock at the moment after a sell out Christmas Season. Lesson: I must make much more soap to keep up with post Christmas demand!

It turns out that everyone likes natural soaps! One of the biggest Bare Naked Body supporters took some excellent photos of us at the Christmas Upmarket and sent them through to me...

The Bare Naked Body stall was busy all day and here I am selling a bar of Goat's Milk and Lavender - which was one of the best sellers on the.... this and the Refresh bar.

I also displayed the Bare Naked Body logo carving, which I had hand carved when I was in India a few months back. It looks great and I love the craftsmanship which went into it.

The turnout was fantastic and everyone was in the Christmas spirit! Soap for stocking fillers, Christmas presents for family and school teachers and my limited edition Soap on a Rope made of Green French Clay was going to be used as Christmas Tree baubles before being given out as gifts on Christmas Day!

Perth Upmarket really helps handmade and handcrafted artisan products get out there to the public.
