The Handmade Spa, Part One

As you may have noticed we’re smitten with our glorious handmade skinnyskinny soaps featured below:

This season I also noticed the Green and Clean Guild of Esty handmade soap makers have some fabulous summer soother recipes. Another bathing beauty crafter I like is Alchemic Muse, a popular Green and Clean Guild member, who makes a fantastic cocoa bee soap:

This honeybee soap features:

“fragrant sweet honey and propolis intermingled with rich cocoa, delectable spice, and a touch of warm bitter almond.

Cocoa contains natural antioxidants known to rejuvenate and restore skin. An added touch of cinnamon and black pepper boosts skin circulation. Honey and coconut milk condition and soften skin while creating an extra bubbly lather.”

Shown above is a featured super soap sale from the Etsy Green and Clean Guild.

Stay tuned for aromatherapy healing scrubs like this delightful tangerine sugar blend below inspire handmade scrubs and soaking blends.
