PureHeart Soaps

Super Duper Soaps

If you didn't catch the article by Sydney Kearns from Liberty Lake Soap in last week's newsletter we decided to post it on the blog.

Liberty Lake Soap just recently debuted their website. You can visit it at:
http://www.libertylakesoap.com/

Folks who walk by my booth at Liberty Lake Soap often say how good it smells. My favorite answer is, "That's what got me into this mess!" I've been able to open up an avenue for my creativity with my soaps and lotions and also take better care of my skin than ever before.

Hand-crafted soap is making a come back because people want more natural alternatives to mass produced products. Where many manufactured soaps have most of the glycerin stripped to sell for other products and sometimes have detergents added to them, all the natural glycerin, a fabulous humectant that helps your skin retain moisture, stays intact in hand-crafted soap. The natural ingredients are simple, beautiful when crafted and great for your skin!

I couldn't write anything about my company without expressing my love and gratitude to my husband for his support and help. I'm blessed to have such a wonderful companion. I truly could not do this without his help.

Exciting things are coming for Liberty Lake Soap. I am doing soap and lotions and other bath items full time now and am looking forward to enjoying the opportunity to be more creative than ever. I've been searching and found a great source for organic oils and herbs for some of the main ingredients at reasonable prices - hooray! I've also found a new local source for fresh goat milk. Thanks to all of my customers who have tried my soap and other lotion products. After nearly 200 batches of soap, I've learned a lot and love sharing my passion with people at the Liberty Lake Farmer's Market. My favorite comment from my customers is "I won't use anything else." And neither will I.
