Oh, Naughty Big Poppy

Recently, our mango soap escaped from its self and made its way into a photo studio for a sexy session. Meeeeow!

Well, no, we aren't getting married. But maybe you are. And perhaps you are looking for a fun wedding favor idea or a cool way to thank your wedding party.

Take a peek at the latest section of our store for cool, custom soap favor and gift ideas.

New Springy Soap

I am a huge fan of baseball. HUGE. To celebrate the season that is inching its way to our doorstep, I am going to debut a soap to help get baseball fans everywhere in the mood.

Opening Day will be scented in fresh cut grass. Be on the lookout next week!

Lush Soap Base

I read this and I had to laugh. It's a press release from 2007, when Lush took palm oil out of their soap base for environmental reasons (which I happen to agree with).

In answer to growing consumer pressure over sustainable and ethically sourced personal care products, Lush has teamed up with a small soap specialist in the UK to develop what is claimed to be the world's first palm oil-free soap base.

The world's first palm-free soap base? What? People have been making soap for years from scratch. I use a combination of olive and coconut oils in my base and I know I am not the first person in the world to make a soap with just these two oils. People mix and match all kinds of oils in their recipes. What gives Lush the audacity to make this claim? Are they relying on the ignorance of the general public? I really respect the Lush brand, but this is poppycock! Am I just reading this wrong?

Vintage Soap

A while ago, my boyfriend and I were perusing our favorite local antique store and I stumbled upon this vintage soap by Octagon. It is actually part of the Palmolive Company. Palmolive is a combination of palm and olive oils, used in the soap back in the day. Check out the ingredients in Palmolive today:

Water , Ammonium C12-15 Pareth Sulfate , Magnesium Isododecylbenzenesulfonate , Lauramidopropylamine Oxide , SD Alcohol 3-A , Sodium Xylenesulfonate , Sodium Chloride , Fragrance , Pentasodium Pentetate , DMDM Hydantoin , Sodium Bisulfite , D&C Orange No. 4 (active ingredients: Triclosan 0.12%)

I might be bit stupid-like, but where is the oil?

This soap dates back to the fifties, after the "Peet" was dropped from the Colgate-Palmolive-Peet Company title. I am very tempted to open up the package, but I don't want to spoil it. Manufacturers were not mandated to include the ingredients on their labels then, however, I suspect that this particular bar contains a lot of synthetic fillers and bullshit detergent, as this was used after the World Wars. I can't believe that the label suggests that you use the soap "for complexion and bath." Complexion? Are you kidding me?
