Figlet Shaving Soap

Plush purple figs rolled in raw sugar, gentle white amber, & handspun alpaca wool

Away from the crowds, away from the chaos, curled up in a favorite chair & tucked under a cozy blanket with a book or a new knitting project... The holiday hoopla is wonderful, but there's nothing better than that day when everyone has gone home, the dishes are all finally put away, and the only thing left to do is nothing. Figlet is a lovely balance of soft and sweet, warm and woolen, wrapped in milky fig sap and crunchy demerara crystals, just the thing for couch cuddles, comfort movies, and sugarplum snacks.

This listing is for a generous 4-ounce round of my luxurious glycerin soap, fortified with ultrafine bentonite clay for a smooth, comfortable shave. I use a hefty, round mold that sits handsomely in a shaving bowl, or you can lather up with your hands. The end result? Huge, stable lather, great slip & delicious scents to get you soft, smooth & ready for action. I 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 fantastic.

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), Bentonite, Titanium Dioxide, Mica

Since I work in small batches, you may notice slight variations in color from bar to bar.
