Murren’s Lovely Creations soaps contain only natural ingredients, including olive oil, coconut oil, vegetable shortening, lye, water, and sometimes a pure essential oil. She explains in the FAQ section of her website how the shortening and lye she uses are indeed all-natural, and also offers tips on how the essential oils she selects benefit our health, and which soap may be more beneficial when used at certain times of day. For example, someone who has trouble sleeping may want to bathe with the lavender soap in the evening or before bedtime.
Murren uses Nature’s Oil brand of essential oil that is Certified 100% Pure Therapeutic Grade. She also offers an unscented option for those sensitive to fragrance. It only takes about 2 hours for her to make a batch of soap, but it takes 6 weeks of curing for it to be deemed by Murren “excellent enough to sell.” Murren says it takes her family of three about a year to use one half-batch (28 bars) of her soap, if they are using it as their only household soap. That’s a great value!
My family has been using Murren’s Lovely Creations for quite some time now as a supplement to other cleansers we keep on hand. I personally love how the scents are so soothing and fresh! My husband likes how well the bars lather. Guests are surprised to hear the soap is handmade by a pre-teen, and when they use it, they marvel at how nice it feels. I highly recommend Murren’s Lovely Creations and hope you and your family will give it a try too!
Murren and her family have been dear friends of ours for a number of years, and we are thrilled to support her endeavor! Murren began making and selling her all-natural soaps to help her reach a goal–to own, board, and provide food, medical, and other necessities for her very own horse. Proceeds from her business, as well as donations to a GoFundMe account are drawing her closer to accomplishing that dream! If you too would like to support Murren in her growing business, please stop by Murren’s Lovely Creations to make a purchase or GoFundMe donation. You can also find Murren’s Lovely Creations on Facebook. Murren’s Lovely Creations will soon be adding new products. Stay tuned for the new website announcement! ***As of July 20, 2015, the new shop is open, and all links in this article have been updated!***
