Making soap is shockingly messy business. At the end of the process - after the bars are cut and have sat and dried and have been trimmed down to proper size, there are TONS of little chunks of otherwise perfectly good soap left over. What to do with THESE??? Sami just couldn't bear to toss them out so what happened instead is this little bit of heavenly genius. Why not melt the left over bits all together and see what magic is created? Be forewarned - these economical soaps are lovingly (and accurately) referred to as the "Gateway drugs." Proceed with caution. You may find yourself fully addicted to the awesomeness and mystery of these soaps. Pure. Simple. Cleansing. Ingredient List: Saponified . . . ummmm . . . who the heck knows?? We can guarantee it is vegetarian and naturally scented. Beyond that, it just depends on what we made recently.

Goat Milk Custard Soap
 |
Sometimes less is more. That is a philosophy we like to adhere to here at Pip & Lola's. This amazingly moisturizing soap is deceptively simple yet you will feel like you have splurged on the most expensive ingredients known to man. The addition of ylang ylang just sends the feeling of luxury over the roof. Sigh. Pure. Simple. Cleansing.

Saponified Palm, Olive, Coconut and Palm Kernel oils, Cocoa Butter, Goat Milk, ylang ylang essential oil
