Lavender Soap and Soy Candles from Hand-Piled Lavender
Lavender, one of nature's miracles, holds a special place in our lives for both its visual beauty and its delightful fragrance. Lavender soap and soy candles made with our own lavender are not only natural products but also gifts crafted with a personal touch and love. In this blog post, we will share how lavender is harvested and the soap and candle making processes.
Lavender Picking
Lavender harvesting is one of the most enjoyable activities of the summer months. Strolling through lavender fields in the sunshine, watching the lavender dance in the gentle breeze, and breathing in their unique scent is spiritually uplifting. The most important thing to remember when picking lavender is to ensure the flowers are in full bloom. This way, both the color and scent of the lavender are at their most intense.
Lavender Soap Making
Making soap with your own lavender will be beneficial to both your skin and your soul. Here's a simple lavender soap recipe:
Ingredients:
200 grams soap base (glycerin, shea butter, or natural soap)
2 tablespoons dry lavender
10-15 drops lavender essential oil
Soap mold
Instructions:
Melt the soap base using a double boiler.
Add the dry lavender and lavender essential oil to the melted soap mixture.
Stir the mixture well and pour it into the soap mold.
Wait a few hours for the soap to harden. Once frozen, remove it from the mold.
Your lavender soap is ready! A wonderful natural gift for yourself and your loved ones.
Soy Candle Making
Making soy candles not only adds a pleasant atmosphere to your home but also offers a natural alternative. Here's a simple soy candle recipe made with lavender:
Ingredients:
200 grams soy wax
10-15 drops lavender essential oil
A handful of dried lavender
Candle wick
Candle mold or glass jar

Melt the soy wax using a double boiler.
Once the wax is completely melted, add the lavender essential oil.
After mixing the mixture thoroughly, add the dried lavender.
Place the wick in the center of the mold and pour the mixture into the mold.
Wait a few hours for the candle to set. Then, cut the wick and make it ready for use.
