Herbaria Soaps

Raise a bar of Tutti Frutti to your nose and sniff like a wine connoisseur or, if you prefer, a puppy.  You will detect notes of banana, strawberry, cherry, grape, orange, lemon, mango, papaya, jackfruit, honeydew. Keep sniffing, and you may discover more. Remarkably we have created this fresh scent using entirely essential oils. There are no essential oils of banana, strawberry, grape, or mango. Our devoted customers know that we never use synthetic fragrance oils to scent our products. A mix of dried blueberries and raspberries make a fully textured bar. To superfat the bar, we add apricot kernel oil.

Customers have been asking for a vanilla bar for many years but we steadfastly refuse to use synthetic fragrance oils. Recently, however, we have discovered a source for a natural vanilla infusion that we find absolutely delightful. You will too. You will love the homey, fresh baked, mellow fragrance of pure vanilla. Perhaps this is not a bar, but a cake of soap. And making this cake moist and rich is extra virgin organic coconut oil. The coconut also sweetens the vanilla scent. The cakes are a soft caramel color with tiny flecks of ground vanilla beans. Still, they are buttery smooth in texture.

Vetiver has long been a popular scent with both women and men, and is often used as the base note in both perfumes and colognes. Vetiver imparts a robust, woody aroma, warm and comforting. In this soap, vetiver is one of three essential oils that complement each other deliciously. Coriander adds a touch of spiciness, may chang a lemony freshness. If you have been a fan of our Indonesian Safflower bar, you’ll also enjoy this close cousin. Vetiver Walnut is more earthy; Indonesian Safflower a bit more floral. Finely ground English walnut shells add a scrub that invigorates and exfoliates your skin as you soap up. You will feel fully clean. To top off your skin care, we have added sweet almond oil for a soothing moisturizer.
