$9/4.5oz bar  This bar is a labor of love. Throughout my hikes in the PNW, I collected a small amount of spruce tips from the bottom edges of the branches, ground them to a powder that was infused in olive oil for 4 months.

$5/4oz bar  I've taken soap scraps from all of my previous bars and recycled them into an old-fashioned style of soap made by the original hot-process method. I added activated charcoal and tea tree oil to give it new properties. If you are someone who suffers from skin allergies or sensitivities, I do not recommend this bar due to the nature of the number of ingredients it contains. It also contains traces of lard.

$6/5oz This offers a variety of slices of current soaps, totaling around 5 ounces.  There are usually 3-4 samples per pack and randomly selected.
$3 Keep your soap high and dry! The best way to care for homemade soap is to make sure it’s kept out of standing water or prolonged moisture otherwise it can become mushy and quickly fall apart. It should be able to completely dry between uses. Using a ‘soap lift’ is the best way to store soap long term and ensure its longevity!  It will also keep it from sticking to the surface where it lays and is easy to clean by rinsing it with warm water. It can be placed in most soap dishes or used by itself and can be cut to fit any size you need. Soap lift

$3 each A soap saver is a great way to use up all those little leftovers of soap that are too small to use by themselves, a bar of soap that has split into multiple pieces or if you just want to make bathing more streamlined. It's made of ramie, or 'grass cloth' which comes from the nettle family. It's twice as strong as linen, making it a great body exfoliator and has a drawstring design keeping those little pieces from falling out. It's 5.5"H x 3.7"W fitting most sizes of bars. *Soap savers are not good to use on whole bars of soap as they will draw moisture to the bar and cause it to become soggy. It's best to hang to dry between uses and hand-wash every 3-4 months to clean and reuse. Soap saver
