Lavish Naturals Blog: Notes from the Soapmaker.

Archive for the ‘soap’ Category

peppermintlime

This soap may look kind of familiar to some of you.  Under a different name, it was part of our limited edition Summer 2009 Collection.  And due to it’s popularity… and a semi-threatening email…  it’s back and in our regular lineup of natural soaps.  I have to admit, it’s one of my favorites, too.   The fresh combination of peppermint, spearmint and lime essential oils really give this bar a skin-tingling kick!  Unlike it’s predecessor, you don’t have to worry about hoarding your Peppermint + Lime, I promise I will make more!

Every year around mid January I get really sick of all the snow and gray skies… spring can’t come soon enough!  Thankfully, I was thinking about this last month and whipped up a batch of Lemon Cookie soap.  It’s finally cured and ready to use just in time to ease those mid-January blues.  The scent is a delicious combination of zesty lemon and sweet almond.  Definitely light and springy!  You can grab it now in the Limited Edition section of the store, while supplies last!
