Logo & Design for Packaging



We are experimenting with some font & images for the wrap around package design. Sticking with the round soap is going to be a little more limiting as for as space goes on the package. I think keeping it simple may be the best though... we like the idea of a rubber stamp with the design & logo on it and this is what I've come up with so far. The design is from a rubber stamp and if we could get our name in this font I think it would look really nice together.
We haven't gotten our scale in the mail yet so this is still our hand-milled soap.

First Batch of Hand-Milled Soap!





The first batch EVER for Peninsula Soap Co. is cooling in it's PCV pipe mold in the kitchen right now with 4.5 hours of dry time to go. We're starting with the hand-milling process just to get a feel for what it's like to work with soap in the melting/cooling stages and also to experiment with color, oils and dry ingredients. This weekend we'll be trying the soap making process from scratch in our garage. The first batch has ground espresso and coconut oil in it... I ground some of the espresso coarsely (to add texture and exfoliators) and some espresso more very finely (to add color). I'm thinking Espresso Buzz sounds like a good name for it. After all what's better then espresso in the morning!

All soaps will be vegan and cruelty-free plus they will have no chemical or artificial anything. All the ingredients in them will be things that are "pantry common".

Last week we formed our LLC and bought our website www.PeninsulaSoap.com
I'll have to learn how to create the website soon so we can start selling these yummy soaps!

We just did some tweets to record our progress too:)
