Sweet Earth Soap

Buttermilk you say, why buttermilk? Many people have asked do I have any goat's milk soap and my answer has always been no. But I do have buttermilk in some soaps. This one and my Orange Patchouli Soap. But why buttermilk? My parents were from Germany making me a first-generation German. I grew up with my Father always drinking buttermilk and this reminds me of him which is why I chose it. It is a thick milk and has a lot of butterfat in it and makes a rich creamy lather. The added honey enhances the creaminess of this bar. The powdered oatmeal gently exfoliates the skin. All are scented with a hint of delicious Cinnamon essential oil for a great skin-loving bar.  

The lemony aroma of Lemongrass Essential Oil enhances the clean herbaceous scent of Rosemary and the sweet scent of Mandarin. Dill leaves are freely scattered throughout the bar to add a touch of green.  

OK, seriously how many of you have watched the movie Shrek with Donkey as his sidekick? Yes, I watched that movie numerous times and even bought the DVD! I loved the jokes and the story and just enjoyed being a kid watching it. There is a part in the movie where Donkey makes a comment about his breath being "Minty Fresh" that always makes me smile. I came across this blend of Spearmint and Peppermint on the Loving Soap Site and decided to use it in a new soap. Donkey reminded me that YES this is it and why he loved being Minty Fresh! Also why I named this soap Minty Fresh! The wonderful mintiness of the scent will take your morning shower to a new level. Let the double barrel of two mints wake you up so are fresh in the morning after a sleepy night. And don't forget mint essential oils have the added benefit of cooling making this bar perfect for those hot summer days! Come on and try a bar!  You know you want to be Minty Fresh - like Donkey! Please note these are on the curing shelf and will be ready soon.
