The Soaps Page

We formulate our soaps to take the greatest advantage of each ingredient, and each one is designed with a particular use in mind.  Click on any of the links below to go straight to that section.  

Use these categories as a guide.  Just because a soap is designed with facial use in mind, for example, doesn't mean it can't also be a great bath or shower soap.  Or a great hand soap.  That's for you and your skin to decide!

Buy three or more soaps (not including travel/sample size liquid soaps) and get 10% off!  For information on ordering, click here.   

All Purpose Soaps  Gentle enough for facial use, lathery enough for shower use, strong enough for hand use.

Bath/Shower Soaps  Formulated with invigorating and soothing scent blends for morning or nighttime use.

Facial Soaps  Formulations for normal to drier skin, oilier skin, and a deep cleanser all skin types.

Hand Soaps  Our only bar formulated specifically for hand use is a real workhorse!

Liquid Soaps/Shampoo  Most people think of liquid soaps exclusively as hand soaps, but our customers use them as facial soaps, too.  And the shampoo formula is a great hair conditioner.

Bath Bombs  Great fun, and very skin softening.  We love them!

Bath Bombs

New!  Luxurious Moisturizing Lavender Eucalyptus Bath Bombs!
Let your cares and worries melt away while you fill the tub with soothing hot water, maybe light a candle or two, and treat yourself to a totally relaxing, rejuvenating bath with a Lavender Eucalyptus Bath Bomb.
No, they don't explode.  They fizz!  And as they fizz, they release the intoxicating scent of lavender and eucalyptus essential oils, and moisturizing jojoba oil into your personal bath get-away.  Each pair of bombs contains one with epsom salt (great for aching muscles) and one without.  Made with baking soda, citric acid, cornstarch, epsom salt (or not), jojoba oil, water, lavender & eucalyptus essential oils, and beet root powder.  Some we make perfectly round because they look so cute, and some we make flattened at the ends because they're a bit more practical to store.  But other than the shape, they're exactly the same.  
$5.00 per pair

For maximum shelf life, please store in a cool, dry location: soaps made with all-natural vegetable oils will eventually degrade, a process that is hastened by exposure to sun and heat.  Liquid soaps should be used within six months of purchase to avoid scent degradation.  Pregnant or nursing women should consult their physicians before using any soap with herbal ingredients.
