Sweet Yellow Pear Soap



    

  



Egg yolks (24 of them to be exact) account for the sunny yellow color of this soap.  The egg yolks not only add color, but they add a rich, moisturizing quality to the soap.   The sweet yellow pear fragrance is tangy and complex … and irresistible.  Palm oil, soybean oil, coconut oil, shea butter, and olive oil combine with the egg yolks to make a gorgeous soap with lather that is truly silky and sensuous.

Spring Thaw Soap


Spring Thaw Soap
At the time of this writing it looks like spring has come and gone and summer is here!  We've had an unusually dry spring here in Montana.  Nevertheless, the crops are being sowed and the gardens planted all around our ranching community.  

Although Spring Thaw Soap is reminiscent (to me) of the passage from winter to spring it really is an all-season soap.  

Whether you have been shoveling feed in the winter, mucking through a muddy spring day, weeding the garden in the summer, or raking leaves in the fall, Spring Thaw Soap will leave you feeling clean and refreshed.    




Wintergreen (Gaultheria Procumbens)



Wintergreen is a groundcover plant typically growing to about five inches in height.  It is an ornamental, medicinal, and flavoring herb.  The name wintergreen derives from the fact that the plant remains green throughout the winter.  The glossy green foliage is aromatic and its essential oil is used in teas, toothpastes, candies, gums, and, of course, soaps. 

Wintergreen essential oil has a woodsy, refreshing aroma.  Some may even detect a mint candy scent.  The bright fragrance of wintergreen has been known to clear the sinuses, invigorate the mind, and lift up the spirit.
