Holiday Break

Lavender Essential Oil

Lavender essential oil takes its name from the Latin Lavare, meaning "to wash". It has been traditionally respected for centuries, and nurses were known to wash the wounds of soldiers with lavender oil during the first world war, when antiseptic supplies were short.

The benefits of lavender oil for the skin are many, and these are probably due to its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory qualities. Many find lavender is very helpful with troublesome skin complaints such as acne, eczema, or psoriasis, and the soothing calm of lavender makes it a friend to sunburn, winter itch, and flaky or cracked skin.

Its varying uses in health and wellness are legendary. Its aroma relaxes, and helps with inducing sleep. Lavender essential oil is also used in aromatherapy for sore muscles, and aches and pains.

December Freebie

Every month I get to enjoy giving away a free bar of soap with every order. Never a mystery and always full size, the order box freebie for the month of December is a bar of Ooh La Lavender & Oatmeal. Check out the freebie page to see what else can be free inside your order box this month.

Almost Ready

The Almost Sunset are almost ready. They've been on the shelves for three weeks. Another nine days and I can start wrapping them ready to go out in the order boxes. Because it's so close to the curing dates and the holidays are creeping up fast, I'm allowing them to be bought in advance.

The following soaps are the other ones that are presently curing and will be ready to ship on December 14th:

Lime 'N Thyme O'lyptus
House of Almonds
Honey Me Smooth
Evening Primrose
Camelina Aloe
Carrot & Fennel Seed
Honey Rose

Please note that any orders containing these bars will not ship until December 14th. Full details can be found on each relevant soap bar page. Hopefully this will allow you to plan your shopping.

Going Green

December is almost upon us, and it's the last of the soap rush in the curing room before the holidays. Many of the soaps that are currently out of stock on the web site will be back in stock before long, as they each reach their curing date. That includes all four of the facial bars, Almost Sunset and a new, greener Lime 'N Thyme (pictured above).

Thanks for your patience!
