After-Winter Luxury Glycerin Soap - Bruised Mint, Cold Tea, Frozen Trails...
Product Description
After-Winter Luxury Glycerin Soap
Bruised spearmint leaves, cold pekoe tea, slushy mud and frozen leaf mold
It's not cold enough to be a snowy wonderland, but not warm enough for mud season, either... must be After-Winter! Here in Pennsylvania, spring always takes its sweet time, leaving us to languish in a chilly morass of partially melted snow dirtied by rotting leaves & road salt. It's a profoundly unsexy time of year, but sometimes the smell of peppery frost & wet earth hits just right. After-Winter tramples toothpaste-adjacent spearmint leaves into a sloppy slush of Indonesian patchouli, dank vetiver, & forgotten cups of tea for a blend that's both dirty & fresh, tannic & minty.
This listing is for a huge 6 ounce bar of luxurious glycerin soap, hand cast in small batches with no SLS, propylene glycol, parabens, animal products or other funny stuff! Most of my fragrances are phthalate-free, too!
My bars produce gorgeous, abundant lather & have unique scents that cling gently to your skin. You'll be left feeling clean & smelling wonderful.
I hand-wrap each bar in cellophane, with all ingredients clearly labeled for your peace of mind:
Coconut Oil, Palm Oil, Safflower Oil, Glycerin (kosher, of vegetable origin), Purified Water, Sodium Hydroxide (saponifying agent), Sorbitol (moisturizer), Sorbitan oleate (emulsifer), Oat protein (conditioner), Fragrance Oil, Mica, Coffee Bean
Since I work in small batches, you may notice slight variations in color from bar to bar.

Cool and Refreshing

Paintbox's glycerin soaps are wonderful as always!
This scent is very cool and minty with just enough earthiness to cut the sharpness. I know it's a winter scent, but it's refreshing for the middle of a heat wave as well! It almost makes we want a little menthol in the formula for that cold-tingly refreshing feeling. -
Delicious aroma

It’s soap but it smells good enough to eat. Love, love all the lather.

Muddy but not dirty

A wonderfully wet, fresh scent. The mint is a really pleasant green mint, and the earthy notes are subtle and lingering. One of my favorite soaps ever.

Back again to let you know, year after year, this is one of my all time favorites. Cool and earthy and fresh and just a bit of tea coming through: it smells exactly like winter easing up!

I want to eat it
Posted by Amanda Everitt on Jan 2nd 2023
This soap is absolutely stunning to look at. The layers of green glisten and beckon. It smells delightfully fresh and minty. And I want to eat it. I know it is soap. But it looks. smells. delicious. Heavy sigh.

I snagged a rollon of this scent last year and am so glad it's back - the spearmint makes a chilly freshness, but the leaf mold gives it just an earthy edge of weirdness to keep it interesting. Hands down a new PBSW favorite!!
