Fangorn

Hoom, hoom, don’t be hasty! This soap is loaded with tons of shea butter, and smells comforting and earthy (lavender, rosemary, and patchouli essential oils). Made with kombucha green tea instead of water. This bar is totally weird and awesome! Warning: Contains WALNUTS

Orthanc Stone

Black Salt soap (the suds are white!). 100% coconut oil soap with coconut cream, sea salt, activated charcoal, and lime, tea tree, and clary sage essential oils. When the salt gets wet it melts into the bar, causing this super hard bar to feel as smooth as stone, which makes it gentle enough for body and face! Activated charcoal is wonderful for pulling junk out of your pores. This is probably my favourite bar to use so far.

Two Blues

A soap inspired by the mysterious blue wizards of Middle Earth with a refreshing, theraputic aroma of eucalyptus and peppermint essential oils. Loaded with Cambrian blue clay and mint infused water.

Bird & Baby

This soap comes unscented or made with pure lavender essential oil. Lusciously creamy and made with oat meal, goat’s milk, honey, and yoghurt.

"Açò és or, xata!" ("That's gold, darling!") were the first words to come out of James I of Aragon's mouth after tasting horchata for the first time c. mid-1200 AD. He'd say the same thing about this soap made with fresh guava and 100% horchata. Deliciously scented with lime and cinnamon essential oils. To you, darling, I say "enjoy!"

Here’s a unique soap I made on occasion or if someone asks about it. It contains sea salt and dead sea mud, with essential oils of bay and tea tree oil.

In Irmo’s Garden

I make this soap exclusively for Spring and Summertime. It is a lovely, creamy bar with the floral and uplifting scent of rose geranium, orange, and a touch of patchouli essential oils. Contains turmeric and calendula petals.

Bathtime at Crickhollow

A cheerful scent reminiscent of laughter and song, friendship, indian summers, and a hot bubbly bath near a crackling fireplace. Lovingly scented with essential oils of orange, patchouli, grapefruit, and anise.
