Anti Aging Face Bar – an Easy Cold Process Soap

I recently realized that I hadn’t given you my Anti Aging Face Bar Recipe. I’ve been selling it in My Shop for months now and it’s been super popular. It’s a nourishing face bar. Meaning, it cleanses gently without over stripping. It is also full of essential oils that are great for aging skin. This soap first came together at the request of someone who wanted the same or similar oils in a face bar that I use in my Anti Aging Serum.

A good face bar cold process soap recipe is going to account for facial skin’s needs for a more gentle and moisturizing soap bar. I’ve had some soap makers tell me that soap is soap and you can’t make it moisturizing or provide more nutrients and it’s just not true.

You can definitely formulate a face bar with a higher superfat value (the amount of oils left over after saponification) so that your bar is not drying to the skin.

You can also formulate the recipe so that you are using oils with high vitamin A ad E values, etc. so that you naturally support the skin with the oils that are leftover. By using the phrase “Anti Aging Face Bar Recipe”, I am not saying I have invented a bar that will reverse aging, but I am saying that it will be more nourishing, gentle, and provide helpful nutrients for young to aging skin that needs extra bonuses from essential oils, vitamin A and vitamin E.

Anti Aging Face Bar Recipe

This recipe has 15% superfat. It does not use any animals fats, but is still a wonderful face bar because of the nourishing butters and oils that are added.

This makes 12 -four ounce bars, or 3 pounds.

I called this an easy cold process soap recipe, and it is because it doesn’t have any special coloring or design. Just follow the directions and combine and mix. You can make this! If you want to purchase some first, then try it in my shop.

We’re still celebrating the release of my book, The Natural Soapmaking Book for Beginners.

THANK YOU AGAIN for all your kind words and encouragement. This has been a great experience.
