Man Soap

I wanted to formulate a soap recipe that would be especially appealing to men, so I came up with this soap I'm calling "Man Soap".  The scent in this soap is a combination of essential oils that combines woodsy and spicy.  The rich brown and light cream tones even make this bar look manly.  This soap makes a great gift for the man in your life (or for yourself!).

Lavender Soap

I've had many people ask me when I'm going to make lavender soap.....lavender soap is now available!  It's a beautiful bar made with the finest oils for the ultimate skin-nourishing benefits.  Lavender essential oil gives this soap its soft lavender aroma.  Soaps made with lavender essential oils can aid in the healing of skin infections because of its antibacterial and antiseptic properties.  Lavender is said to promote relaxation and stress-relief, making this an excellent soap to use just before bedtime - especially for children.
