i wanted to share this artist with you...for not only are her products wonderful for the fragrance and natural product...but they are also wonderful for all of you that struggle with sensitive skin....so whether it's the winters that you are struggling with, sensitive skin, or just plain love natural handmade soaps...now you have a place to order on-line from... sweet harvest farms...

sweet harvest farms has taken an old basic soap recipe and added natural, soothing and luxurious ingredients to create a unique soap. this wonderful early fashioned soap not only leaves you squeaky clean but also leaves you with soft, supple and moisturized skin. the cold processed method retains 100% of the natural glycerin which is essential to hydrate your skin. commercial brands often siphon off the glycerin to sell as a by-product, in doing so their soap can leave you feeling dry and itchy.

these are not “glycerin soaps” (which is a melt and pour product). these are nurturing, medicinal and soothing soaps from her own recipe-in her own kitchen. natural and hydrating, glycerin does not have to be added as it is already there through the process of this true soap-making technique.

there are very few true soap makers left that stay true to the old fashion method of soap making used literally thousands of years ago. Excavations of ancient Babylon uncovered cylinders with inscriptions for making soap around 2800 B.C.E. Later records from ancient Egypt (c. 1500 B.C.E.) describe how animal and vegetable oils were combined with alkaline salts to make soap.

natural colorants are used in these soaps to bring out the beauty of each bar and organic and natural herbs, that are proven medicinal, are added to some of the recipes. refined shea butter, olive oil, jojoba oil, flax seed oil, palm oil and coconut oil are just a few of the rich oils used to create this luxurious line of soap.

some refer to these soaps as goat’s milk soaps....for goat's milk contains vitamins A, B6, B12 and E and is added because it is a natural emollient that helps soothe and moisturize the skin. It is the combination of all ingredients that make these luxurious bars highly sought after.
