Apricot Freesia

This has not been made in a long while and I know many people miss it. Fruity and floral with Apricot Seeds throughout, this is a fun soap and also quite feminine.

Soundtrack: Interpol, Our Love to Admire

Grapefruit Cornmeal

This soap cut in line because.....I love it! And I just used my last bar. Pink Grapefruit Essential Oil and Cornmeal make an oil-clearing soap that both scrubs and tones your skin. I feel clean and fresh whenever I use it so I hate to run out...so this soap was made now.

Soundtrack: Robert Plant & Alison Krauss, Raising Sand

Fresh Blend

Orange, Eucalyptus, Patchouli and Ylang Ylang, an essential oil blend similar to the scent used for Aveda's Shampure shampoo. It is a mix that is both earthy and sensual, and I think the Eucalyptus gives it a bit of a medicinal scent in the best way possible.


Soundtrack: Britney Spears, Blackout

Oatmeal, Milk & Honey

This was actually made about a week ago. It was very popular the last time it was made. Made with both Colloidal Oatmeal and Rolled Oats. The oatmeal that you eat has no actual healing properties but Colloidal Oatmeal has a very long history of use in helping alleviate skin irritation, discomfort, and inflammation. Oatmeal is very soothing to the skin and has strong anti-inflammatory effects, and colloidal oatmeal is classified by the FDA as a "skin protectant." Oatmeal not only can help with sensitivity but may also have a preventive effect on irritation and may too help buffer and repair damage from other skin stressors.

Soundtrack: White Stripes, Icky Thump
