Calendula Goats Milk Shea Butter Handmade Natural Soap
This good for your bar of soap is made with goat's milk, calendula infused olive oil, calendual essential oil and extra shea butter added to the base as well as enriched with shea butter and ground calendula petals. A very kind to your skin and gentle bar of soap :-)
No added colorants or fragrance, just the sweet smell of calendula.
This special soap was fan crafted by our Facebook fans in early 2012 - they chose everything from the scent to the colors to the name!
I put all the pretty colors of spring into this Bunny Corn Cupcake Soap. Yellow, purple, green, and pink come together to make this cute cupcake soap.
Gradient layers featuring activated charcoal and tea tree essential oil. By far, my favorite facial soap!
This Corona Lime polka dot soap is made with real beer! Nothing but the goodness of beer, beer, beer in here. Beer is good for your skin and hair. To the top I've added lime fragrance oil and enriched the whole darn thing with shea butter, liquid glycerin, castor oil and avocado oil! Full of moisturizing goodness :-)
You will receive one bar of appoximately 4.5+ ounces.
I use my soap as shampoo bars as well. It's a fun way to get clean from head to toe in one fell swoop ~ schwooosh! I then use a (very light) jojoba oil, shea butter and avocado butter mixture about every three days. I have very long, curly, unmanageable, frizzy, gnarly hair... and it actually pleases me. Not to mention no chemicals left to leech their way into my scalp! See how I smile in my pic? All because of natural remedies :-)
My method: Lather up a wash cloth really REALLY good and squeeze it out onto your hair. This is easier then trying to lather your hands and then transfer. Scrub it up and use the remainder for your body. Close your eyes for the hair part though - or ouch! Then rinse and you are all done. You've saved water, time and smell great too. Ah…
*I only use my 'plain' soap bars for shampoo bars. I don't use any soaps that have clay, or oatmeal, coffee, poppy seeds, flowers, herbs… etc. You get the picture right? I don't want anything leftover hanging around making me look silly.
It's good to let your soap air out between uses for a longer lasting bar. Store your handmade soaps in a cool dry place letting them breathe. I cut mine in quarters to make them last longer :-) and this way I can use a different soap everyday - yay me!
Hand crafted soaps are so good for your skin. No added chemicals and all the natural glycerin is retained. I'll never go back to buying store bought chemically infiltrated soaps.

Melon Poppy Seed Handmade Soap
This soap was supposed to be pink and green… Umm it's not. It's fragranced with Watermelon Fragrance Oil which smells more melon to me than watermelon. I guess I just don't have the sniffer to distinguish. This soap is going on SALE because I'm just not happy with the 'looks' of it :-) Why must my envisioned soap dreams be dashed?!

This fabulous shea butter soap was made with pure patchouli essential oil as a custom order. I love being given creative freedom!
Opium Poppyseed Handmade Natural Soap
This beautiful bountiful blue bar of soap is made with Sweet Opium fragrance oil. I've added poppyseeds for exfoliation. The lingering scent of opium is intoxicating, dark and sensual. I have enriched this bar with unrefined shea butter, jojoba oil and sweet almond oil for added moisture.

Musk Lavender Patchouli Handmade Natural Soap
This brick and purple polka dotted soap is made with musk fragrance oil, lavender essential oil and patchouli essential oil. The dark brick red color is musk, so the scent is mainly musk, but the lavender patchouli dots come through very nicely to give this a well rounded scent. I've inriched this bar with avocado butter, jojoba oil and sweet almond oil for extra moisturizing goodness.
A Noticing of two new things in one.
On the left behold a new bar of soap I bought on Etsy. Pine tar, touted as being A Good Thing for psoriasis. I Noticed its neato appearance upon unwrapping the bar. The kinda rough-hewn look is a nice change from the dainty-looking soaps I usually buy, and fits its composition and scent very well.
I decided to pair it with my newest completed knitting project - a cotton shower scrubbie in similarly "somewhat masculine" - or at least "not aggressively feminine" - colorway. That thing in the middle is its hanging loop.
If the viewers out there are interested in more information on either, feel free to send me FlickrMail. I know I can't promote my own "commercial" items; not sure about openly promoting someone else's good stuff :)
