O! Tannenbaum Hot Process Soap

Fresh boughs of Canadian Balsam hung with orange pomanders

Even if you didn't bother decorating this year, even if your tree came out of a box, even if it's 85 degrees outside... it can still smell like Christmas! Scented with sappy fresh evergreen branches & juicy oranges studded with whole cloves, O Tannenbaum will have you feeling festive in no time! Bonus: no stupid pine needles in everyone's socks...

This listing is for one (1) enormous 5-ounce bar of hot process soap, made from scratch by me in my own workshop. If you find glycerin soaps a bit too drying, this is the bar for you. I've spent several months developing a coconut- & shea-free, vegan formula that lathers beautifully & is packed with nourishing vegetable oils & butters. I make my hot process soap in small batches, & allow each batch to cure for 3 weeks to ensure a firm, mild bar. Each hand-cut bar measures 3x3x1 inches, & weighs approximately 5 ounces.

As always, your soap will arrive hand-wrapped, with all ingredients clearly labeled for your peace of mind:

Water, Olive Oil, Organic & Sustainable Palm Oil, Sodium Hydroxide (saponifying agent), Mango Seed Butter, Castor Oil, Organic Palm Kernel Oil, Avocado Oil, Rice Bran Oil, Fragrance Oil, Chromium Green Oxide, Mica

Since I work in small batches, you may notice slight variations in color from bar to bar. Hot process soap has a marbled, natural appearance. Streaks, swirls & blobs are all part of the charm, & in no way affect the quality of your soap :)
