Spiced Red Tea Kitty
Spiced Red Tea fragrance features notes of pink pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg, saffron, ebony woods, vetiver, tobacco, orange, bergamot, and grapefruit. A little sweet, a little spicy, and completely delicious! (As always, we use "delicious" in the figurative sense of the word. It literally tastes terrible. Don't eat the soap.)
This cold processed soap is made with saponified olive, organic coconut, sustainable palm, almond, and castor oils; shea butter; goat milk; kaolin clay; mulberry silk; and sugar. Formulated to offer a rich, creamy lather with plentiful bubbles, each bar weighs at least 4.7 ounces.
The other ingredients, not related to lather, bubble type, and skin feel, are skin safe micas, phthalate free fragrance oils, and sodium lactate (the salt component of lactic acid, used for hardening soap). Sodium hydroxide (lye) is added to oils early in the soap making process. Lye and oils combine in the saponification process, chemically transforming into soap and glycerin, leaving no remaining lye. Our soaps, along with many (most?) cold processed soaps, are "superfatted," which means that we add slightly more oils than are necessary to saponify the lye. This ensures that no lye will remain when saponification is complete, and the remaining oils contribute to producing an emollient bar of soap.
