Well, we have been waiting and waiting for some new trial papers for the packaging of our soap. One of the papers we are trialling is a seeded paper!

When you unwrap your soap from the packaging paper, you don’t just throw the paper in the bin. The paper is soaked in water and then planted to grow a native Australian plant!! How exciting is that?

So not only do you get a beautiful, natural, palm oil free, handmade soap to nourish your delicate skin. You also would receive a native plant to grow in your garden.

We think this is an amazing concept of recycling and a way to replenish our environment. We look forward to bringing you updates of when our new soap range will be available!

Here are the soaps i made last week, cut into delicious bars.

All our soaps are roughly 130-140gms.

They can easily be cut in half to allow a smaller bar for use (this is what we do in our house) this is great for smaller hands and especially children. We make the bars as a whole bar for those who like a large bar and this allows everyone to have the size they most like to use….

Well, this week I am busily preparing for our brand new soap launch in only 2 weeks time.

Roar Soap is a range of soaps which have been developed primarily due to the environmental impact regarding the use of palm oil on a multitude of levels. We have removed palm oil completely from our soap ingredients.

Roar Soap is Palm Oil Free!

Palm oil plantations are the force behind huge amounts of deforestation in Indonesia and Malaysia. In addition to this the beautiful orangutans survival is at risk, along with many other native species.

There are a number of organisations who are working towards educating the public about the issues surrounding palm oil and helping to care for orphaned and injured orangutans. As consumers who care about our planet and the future for our children we should all be aware of the palm oil issue and how it is impacting on our environment.

Australian Orangutan Project

Borneo Orangutan Survival

Palm oil Action Group

Roar Soap are donating a percentage from all soap sales to these organisations to assist in ensuring the survival of these beautiful animals, our most closely related species.

These beautiful photos are courtesy of the Australian Orangutan Project.

We invite you to join our Roar Soap Club. Joining our club will ensure you are notified of our exclusive soap releases, specials, competitions, receiving our newsletter and will be continually “in the know” regarding palm oil!

This is something WE as consumers have the power to change…

Well, I finally got around to making my delicious coffee soap (No sorry you can eat it, but it does look like you can!!). A lovely simple blend of olive and coconut oils, coffee lye (brewed coffee used rather than straight water), ground dried coffee beans and pure essential oils of lemon, eucalyptus and tea tree. Whole coffee beans placed on top as a feature garnish!

This soap is absolutely fabulous for the kitchen. Use it after cutting onions, garlic or fresh fish to remove the odour. As most of us know coffee is a natural deodorizer and in this soap it removes the ‘not so nice’ odours from your hands.

We use tigerbalm in our home, which is often a hard to remove odour from the hands. I find it does not totally remove the tigerbalm odour, but it is greatly reduced only a ‘hint’ of it remains.

The essential oil blend is also one which contains natural anti-bacterial properties protecting your hands from any infections.

I love this soap! These are some pictures of it just after i poured it into the moulds.

A citrus day today…two fresh and uplifting soaps added to the range.

Both these soaps are perfect for your morning shower, an invigorating scent to wake you up and get you moving.

Lemongrass is my hubby’s favourite scent, we add green argiletz clay to this to create a lovely green colour. This colour is not so obvious when the soap is “raw” in the moulds, the colour emerges as the soap sets and hardens. You will see this more clearly when i post update photos when the soap comes out of the moulds.

Lime & Orange is more a golden yellow colour, forgot to take a photo of this one!!
