Homemade Pumpkin Turmeric Soap!

Homemade Pumpkin Turmeric Soap!

I found this recipe in a book that was given to me by a dear friend. It's the beginning of the Fall season, and pumpkin is in the air, so I decided to adapt the recipe to accommodate my Fall musings. The book is called "Soapmaking The Natural Way" by Rebecca Ittner.  I love this book, I find it to be totally inspiring!

Now, on to the formula for this beautiful soap!  I used an Aloe and Olive Oil Melt and Pour soap base.  For the coloring, I used a blend of Red and Gold Mica Powder and Turmeric to get that beautiful spicy deep pumpkin color.  For the scent I used Pumpkin and Apple Pie Spice fragrance oils to get that warm, pumpkin, spicy fragrance.

Homemade Foaming Pumpkin Salt Scrub!

Homemade Foaming Pumpkin Salt Scrub!

Fall is in the air here in beautiful North Carolina!  I love Fall, the crispness in the air, the leaves beginning to fall, the notion that the Holidays are not far off, and warm and fun family times are near again.  What better way to celebrate the coming of Fall than with pumpkin!  When I saw this recipe on my suppliers, Wholesale Supplies Plus news emails, I immediately knew that I had to have this product in my inventory.  Pair this with a pumpkin scented lotion, and a beautiful pumpkin colored soap, and you have a wonderful gift for any occasion!
