Pip's Piquant Petals Soap

I have been having a hard time describing these soaps. Yes, they have the wonderful floral scents of rosewood and geranium but they also have the lingering goodness of ylang ylang and the slightly spicy scent from the paprika. The lather is thick and creamy and leaves your skin feeling smooth. Plus the colorful swirls are just so beautiful (especially in a sun-filled room).

Ingredient list:
Saponified olive, palm, coconut, castor oils with beeswax and geranium, rosewood, ylang ylang and petitgrain essential oils with paprika

Philip, The Queen's Rogue Soap

Once upon a time, there was this little "issue" known as The Black Plague. This "issue" caused many people to die. It was sad. People were poor (because no one wanted to go out to go shopping and they hadn't invented Etsy yet). SOME people took advantage of this terrible time to go out and pick the pockets of the poor souls that had been wiped out by the Plague. BUT!! What could they do to not catch The Black Death???

"Aha!" One of them thought. "We should invent a collection of oils and things that will make us IMMUNE to the Death while we go and pick a pocket or two."

And thus this scent was born. (Although it didn't work. I would ask you not to tell them, but they died so I am sure they figured it out) and I have to say this being a soap created to ward off death, this soap is KILLER.

Ingredient List:

Saponified Rice Bran, Coconut, Palm, Olive, Almond, Avocado Oils, Shea Butter, Rosemary Extract, Cinnamon powder with Clove, Lemon and Eucalyptus essential oils

Scents of Adventure

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.
