Coming Soon!



Introducing: Spiced Orange Rooibos







This warmly scented soap smells so homey! Rooibos tea was used, with citrus and spice notes, and a comforting blend of woodsy smells like cedar, benzoin, amyris and patchouli. 


Oatmeal was added for gentle moisturizing and exfoliating, and a bit of the rooibos for some texture. 


Credit for the scent formulation goes to Polly, a good friend with a stellar nose. 


This will have a use after date of January 15th. Can't wait for you to smell it!

"Use After" Date Info



The "use after" date ensures that the soap has finished the saponification process 
and gives it time to develop hardness and dry out further. 


If you can wait a few more weeks after the date listed you'll have a bar that will last longer. 


For more info see this wiki post. 


Happy lathering! 


Mint Chocolate








This is a special bar for the holidays. Enjoy luxurious chocolate lather 
with some zippy mint to refresh you after those long shopping trips. 


Colored with cocoa and coffee powder and using green tea and spirulina, this bar could help to firm and tighten as well as detox. It can stimulate circulation and is also rich in antioxidants. 


Peppermint is known to help relieve stress and can help to dissipate headache pain.The menthol it contains could help with congestion, and it's also anti-viral and fungal. It has a stimulating and invigorating affect - your complete wake-up bar.

The Huntsman





Take a walk in the woods!


This is the popular Huntsman bar, formally known as the camo bar. This recipe said it could camoflage 
human scent for hunters, but it just smells good regardless. A crowd pleaser for guys and gals alike.


Spruce, pine and oakmoss absolute combine to make this woodsy scent. 


Bentonite clay from the Mojave desert was added for detoxing power, along with spirulina (a blue-green algae) which does the same and also has soothing, balancing and anti-inflammatory qualities. The black bands have a bit of activated charcoal and coffee, also beneficial for skin. The oatmeal is soothing and moisturizing as well as a gentle exfoliator.


Approx 2.5 oz bars, $3.50 per.
