What is Glycerin Soap

What IS Glycerin Soap?

Glycerin Soap is a cooked soap that is dissolved into additional glycerin along with a few other ingredients in order to produce a transparent, re-meltable soap base.  This soap base is then remelted and skin safe fragrances and colorants are then able to be added.  Glycerin soap allows us to use wonderful skin safe fragrances and colors that are not able to withstand the normal soap making process.  Glycerin soaps are generally considered to be gentler, due to added glycerin, than your average sydnet bar of grocery store soap.

Why has my favorite scent been discontinued?!

So the big question of the day, where is our favorite scents?!  Please bring them back!!

We have been seeing this question and response a lot in regards to us having to discontinue our very popular Sugared Lemon, Cedar & Saffron, Southern Gardenia, Summer Melon & Almond Delight scents in our products.

We want to let you guys know exactly why these scents are either no longer available or won't be available very soon.

In the case of these specific fragrances, it was not that we wanted to discontinue them but rather our supplier from whom we bought those fragrances oils from actually discontinued them on us.  This means that we actually can't get those specific scents anymore so we are forced to discontinue them in our own products.  If we had our way they would be sticking around for a VERY long time!

So please understand that this was not us choosing to discontinue these wonderful fragrances but rather we are unable to buy these scents from our supplier.  We LOVED LOVED LOVED these scents and when we found out we could no longer get those fragrance oils we where very sad and upset.  

We hope this gives a little insight to why these scents are no longer available and we truly wish we had different, better news for you!
