Handcrafted REAL organic soap

Handcrafted using fresh organic lemon zest and fresh organic cold-pressed lemon (Citrus limonum) essential oil. Lemon essential oil has well-researched immune-enhancing properties and the organic fresh lemon zest adds gentle exfoliating properties. Made the old-fashioned way that uses only natural and organic ingredients that naturally retains glycerin. Don't be fooled by those triple-milled, high dollar soaps that are a mix of synthetic ingredients. Take time to read your labels - your skin will thank you. We use ONLY certified organic shea butter, coconut oil and olive oil - all very skin healthy, nurturing, hydrating. We use only organic botanicals rather than chemical dyes, which also add beneficial antioxidant properties to each and every bar.

Handmade soap using pure organic essential oils

As are all of our soaps, this one is made in small fresh batches - especially important when working with citrus essential oils. We use only  fresh cold-pressed and organic citrus essential oils because although they are quite powerful in many ways with a long list of health benefits - see our blog - they are also prone to oxidation, which renders them not only NOT beneficial but potentially harmful. You will enjoy the refreshing, uplifting and immune-enhancing properties of this particular bar of soap.

I'm not good at describing fragrances, but this is how the supplier describes the original scent - "seductive, daring, rugged and robust muguet (lily-of-the-valley) but it also has the coolness, purity of the sea." And added to that it is "balanced with sandalwood and oak moss" and "deepened with spice notes of cloves and nutmeg." Whew - I don't know that I can smell all of that, but it is a very subtle, clean, fresh scent and I think it will be a keeper.

Unique blend of garden aromas

Oh - we have been back and forth on this one. We have tried out different blends, we tried using all essential oils, we tried using all fragrance oil, but our testers agreed that the blend of essential oils with just a hint of rose fragrance oil is what gives it that unique smell of a victorian garden. Rose essential oil is very expensive, although worth every penny, but not something we would be able to use in a soap. We needed that rose fragrance to round out the secret garden that we were looking for. We do use the rose essential oil in our Secret Garden body creams and other Secret Garden products - because it doesn't take very much and these are what we call "stay on" products. We've even given this particular soap extra attention to detail when we were trying to decide how to color it. I (Ann) decided that I wanted it to represent green for the ground and rose colored for the top representing flowers - call me crazy! So that's what we have and, of course, it comes out a little different with every batch. The green is naturally colored with parsley powder. The essential oils we've used include mandarin, geranium, ylang-ylang, clary sage and a touch of myrrh.

Magnolia Shea Butter Bar Soap

The closest thing I’ve found to the “real thing”. After living in the south for almost 20 years, I’d grown to love the fragrance of Magnolia – a difficult fragrance to re-create. Now having lived in the north, I can still experience that unique fragrance with this soap. You can also special order Magnolia scented cream to match your soap. You’ll love this one in this pure, shea-butter & olive-oil filled soap – very good for your skin. I've seriously had a bar of this soap in my bathroom for months now. I don't know how to describe the soft, smooth, silky and satisfying feel of the sudsy soap each time I use it. It cleans well, but leaves my skin smelling good, feeling hydrated and comfortable.

Handmade sandalwood soap

Smooth, luxurious indulgence of a large bar of handcrafted soap, that lasts a long time, smells awesome and is actually very good for your skin. No worries about sitting in a toxic stew of chemicals while bathing with this soap - we use only certified organic oils and certified organic shea butter because we think that's the only way to make the best soap we possibly can. This one is a beautiful, soft, deep sandalwood fragrance that is subtle but true to the real thing. We don’t use the real thing because it is endangered right now. Australia has been offering some and we are testing it at this time, but for now this is very true to the real thing and some think even better. We do add red sandalwood powder that gives it just a little color and added natural fragrance.

Pumpkin and spice and everything nice!

We first made this soap in the fall, but have discovered that it is a wonderful all-year soap that is particularly beneficial to all skin types due to the Vitamin A content from the pumpkin flakes and powder, as well as the organic botanicals. It is a “scrubby” soap and makes this bar of soap an excellent exfoliating and antioxidant-rich soap. It looks pretty and smells just like Pumpkin Spice. We've combined pure essential oils with a hint of pumpkin fragrance and the combination is one that is a favorite with many of our customers.

Handmade, handcut antioxidant rich soap

The antioxidant values of both pomegranate and acai are legendary now – or you’ve been living in a cave for the last year. You can also check out our ingredients information section for more details. We’ve added true certified organic acai pulp powder, certified organic pomegranate powder and oil to this already luxurious soap. The real pomegranate powder and acai powder bring serious skin healthy benefits to this soap. This soap would make a great facial soap as well.

Handcrafted classic clean smelling soap

A wonderful clean, unisex fragrance that is one of our best sellers. We've added organic cranberry seeds that turn black - so they look like peppercorns - aren't we clever? Real peppercorns probably wouldn't be such a good idea for your skin. But what they DO do is give your skin a good scrub that feels very nice, leaving your skin soft, moisturized and clean smelling.
