    homemade soaps

    Prettily Packaged

    All soaps are made from 100% pure vegetable or goat’s milk base and are handmade in small batches by me.
    Other ingredients are listed.

    I make a 4 oz. bar, then let it mature for 3 weeks so some of the water evaporates.
    Note: Most home soap makers do not take this step, they do not want the bar to shrink.
    I do because I want the soap to last longer- I make it for you the same way I make it for my family and friends.
    The final net wt. is 3 oz.

    homemade soaps

    For the Fisherman or Fisherwoman

    Varieties:

    Older than Dirt
    Feel like you’re fading away one flake at a time? This wonderful Oatmeal Soap is perfect for dry skin.
    With a little ground cinnamon, it smells good too.

    Happy Gardeners Soap
    Love playing in the dirt? When its time to come inside, this soap made with ground cornmeal will help get your hands clean.
    A little Lavender and Chamomile Essential Oils will remind you of being back in the garden.

    The Good Chef
    Ground coffee in this soap will take the strongest odors- like garlic and fish- from your hands.
    A little hint of mocha makes it smell even better.

    Old Fart Soap
    Face it- you’re not getting any younger! And your Face is one place you don’t want it to show.
    This Lemon-Lime Soap with fresh grated lemon rind will help tighten those pores, while the natural Vitamin C will help your skin look and feel younger. A little Lime Essential Oil makes it smell fresh and clean.

    The One That Got Away
    The smell of Anise Seed is reputed to attract fish. Washing your hands and equipment with this soap may give you that extra edge you need.
    If the fish still gets away, now you can blame it on the soap.
    Win-Win. ;-)
    Available with a light blue color if desired.

    All of our soaps are comparably priced at $5.99 per bar.

    New varieties will be added as they are made.
    If a variety you want is out of stock, I will make it immediately upon request and ship after the 3 week drying period.
