The Cartographer Wasp Luxury Glycerin Soap

Varnished oak inlaid with shining brass, caramelized benzoin, a dry hum of cassia, & blackened vanilla oud

The wasp worked, glossy body curled over the delicate map tacked carefully to the floor with dots of resin. Around it, the heat and thrum of the hive made the air thicken and the pulse jump, but still it labored, its glossy stinger scratching gently against the paper's grain. Occasionally, it paused, plucking at compass and calipers, antennae giving a calculated twitch, before returning stinger to ink, ink to paper. If the colony were to survive, even thrive in this new land, its memories must be preserved. The maps must be remade.

Based loosely on the award-winning short story The Cartographer Wasps & the Anarchist Bees by E. Lily Yu

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

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