Wild Orchard: These bars were born in the foothills of the Adirondacks when I pulled two not-quite-ripe apples from a branch and tucked them into my coat pocket. They were wild, not really fit for eating, but I wanted to keep them for always and remember the magic of that place. So I turned them into an apple puree and made my first ever batch of Wild Orchard soap. This year they got a little upgrade by adding Red iron oxide for a dramatic swirl!

Eucalyptus Sea Salt: Sea Salt gently exfoliates the skin and is packed with minerals like calcium, magnesium, and potassium. These bars defy soap science, having a high "super fat" to balance out the salt, so they are moisturizing, hard, and will last a good long time. Use this soap to leave the shower feeling like you just left the ocean. I was playing around with colors in the studio so there's 2 varieties I am selling "naked" - no label. They use the same classic Sea Salt recipe but instead are colored with Kelp or Sea Clay.
