The Products - soap!
What you WILL find in my soaps are all natural ingredients, the best the planet's plants have to offer. What you will NOT find are synthetic additives, scents or fillers. I have used 99% plant oil essential oils, except where the true essential oil is prohibitively expensive, such as sandalwood; and the chocolate & vanilla used are both available in your local grocery store - totally food grade ingredients. I use organic food grade ingredients whenever possible. You *could* eat this soap, but I promise it won't taste very good.
Soaps you have to have:
Sweet Cheeks, our best selling soap
this is a terrific bar, a real treat to use. It gets its creamy lather from the addition of sweet almond oil, very good for your skin; and the scent is so yummy - a combination of lavender, patchouli and sweet vanilla. Even if you don't like patchouli, you'll like this. Each bar is 4-5 ounces

Soap Baa-ar, made with fresh sheep's milk!
I love sheep, and I love soap.. it only made sense to combine the two. The Baa-ar is extra rich with creamy sheep's milk and is scented w/ a blend of rosewood, vetiver and ylang ylang. Cleverly named by a lovely woman in my wool spinning circle... thanks Rachel!
Each bar is 4-5 ounces

Chocolate Almond Soap
I first made this soap as a gift for a dear friend who was dieting, and her birthday is Valentine's Day - she HAD to have chocolate! .. made w/ real unsweetened baking chocolate for color and aroma, with a good dose of pure cocoa butter for extra moisture. It is also a great way to entice children into taking their bath. Each bar is 4-5 ounces.

Spruce Up
Back when I was married, I made this "manly" soap for my significant other. He liked the bracing woodsy scent and the straightforward soapiness of it. I liked the way he smelled when he got out of the shower. You could also use this bar as a drawer sachet - it is lovely. Each bar is 4-5 ounces.

Sonny's Garden Bar
This one was concocted for my Dad, who recently passed away. He liked to use this bar out by the hose outside; full of abrasive cornmeal and healing tea tree oil, I made this to be good for hard working hands. A percentage of all sales of this soap will be donated to the Alzheimer's Association, in his memory. Each bar is 4-5 ounces.

Sage & Cedar
Stories of Native American rituals fascinate me, and those of the medicine man in particular. Many tribes would burn sage & cedar smudges to enhance their spiritual experiences, and this soap recreates that scent in a sudsy sort of way. It is subtle, one of my more restrained scent blends, and the addition of green clay to the soap makes it more suitable for those w/ oily skin. Each bar is 4-5 ounces

Oatmeal Honey Soap
This is such a classic combination, I had to include it in my repetoire. I use pure organic Vermont honey and oats, pulverize the oats to give the soap it's gentle exfoliating texture then use a spicy combination of ginger, allspice and cinnamon to give the bar a warm almost cookie like scent. Each bar is 4-5 ounces.

Activated Charcoal
made with food grade bamboo charcoal, and a crisp scent of palmarosa, this soap is great for your complexion. It will lather a little grey but don't be alarmed - that's how you know it is working. If you know someone who is on Santa's "naughty" list, you COULD put a "lump" of this charcoal soap into their stocking! Each bar is 4-5 ounces.

Lavender Swirl Soap
Inspired by numerous customer requests, and infused with just a touch of personal license I present the very pretty newest soap in my collection, the lovely Lavender Swirl. Scented purely with essential oil of lavender, swirled with an ultramarine ultra safe oxide, this is a bar that is just right for a guest room soap dish.

Veggie Soaps
for fun, this summer I've been creating veggie soaps to sell at Farmers Markets (get it?!) and here are two of them... on the left is a Tomato Basil... the tomatoes are astringent & clarifying for your skin. And on the right is Sweet Potato - one of my favorites! The starch from the potatoes makes for a very luxurious soap, plus the wonderful beta carotene in the tuber too. Awesome!

Raspberry, Cocoa & Cream
More fun in the soap room! This soap was inspired by so many of the swirly soaps I've seen online.. I'm not big on swirly, but! I blended fresh raspberries and fresh cream into my not so basic soap recipe, and then created a swirl using pure cocoa powder, I added no scent to it, but there is the slightest hint of raspberry.. and those seeds make a terrific gentle exfoliant!
