This soap is one of the first I ever made when I began making cold-processed soap almost 7 years ago. It's still one of my favourites and one of my best-sellers too! It is based on a basic recipe from Sandy Maine's book which is the first and only resource I had for several years! I tinkered with it as I always do and added goodies that "kicked butt." In fact, I was going to name it Kick Butt Soap but had to explain that term too much to the older folk!
As far as inspiration goes, I simply wanted a good all-purpose natural soap to put out for my kids to wash with when they come home from school, kill germs, clean cuts and scrapes and smell invigorating, one that "kicked butt!" It sure does! Musically, it's the soap equivalent of the big gun finale of the 1812 Overture! Wakes you up too...
