Annaleise, my granddaughter, and I began making soaps when she was 7, with a pre-made base of soap called Melt and Pour (or MP in soaper's language). I was home schooling her and it was a fun science project. It allowed her to
melt the base, add color and other ingredients and then pour into different molds . In the beginning, we used Pringle cans, ice cube trays, and cookie cutters for the molds and vegetable peelers to make curls and confetti. We
started on a shoe string budget so we used what we had in our kitchen cabinets to find additives that are healthy and wholesome.
It is amazing at what you can find inside your cabinets. Starting with herbal supplements, crushed and ground up we were able to find some wonderful colors from cranberry supplements, papaya digestive aids and spices such as turmeric. I quickly became obsessed with learning all there is to know about the science of making soaps and creams. Long after Annaleise got bored and went off to play I sat and watched video after video, read book after
book and began to test every type of food we had available to determine what works well in soap and how it performs on our skin.

Annaleise's grandpa, Glen Campbell, has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease when she was 4 years old. Now at the age of 8 she currently advocates for the Alzheimer's Association by raising money for research. She has achieved the Champion's Club metal during our November Walk to End Alzheimer;s. A percentage of sales from Bubble Love Soap goes to fund Alzheimer's research to find a cure for this disease.
