About the "Specialty" Line

Our specialty soaps feature distinctive botanical or aromatic features that distinguish them from our standard house soap: seasonal scents (holiday spice, summer citrus), specific aromatic ingredients (essential oil blends, single-flower scents), traditional clays (kaolin, bentonite, rhassoul), natural exfoliants (oatmeal, poppy seed), or natural colorants (activated charcoal, clay tints, herbal infusions). The specific feature varies by batch.

How to Use

Like any bar soap - wet, lather, wash, rinse. To extend the life of the bar, store in a dry soap dish that allows air circulation between uses.
