just can’t wait to show off the new soaps… 2 are for the seasonal special – asian pear & persimmons and 2 are restock – forest & gingerlily…I really love the 2 new scents… they are my favorite fruits of the season…both a bit on the sweet side (which tends to be my liking)… they will be up for pre-selling next week and ready to ship in a few days after.

there was a little side story about this new batch of gingerlily ricesoap, which I’m as happy as you are to see the petals here… because there would be almost no petals for the soap at all this year… WELL, someone at my house decided to trim off my wildly grown gingerlily… JUST AS THE BUDS ARE COMING OUT… I was heart broken to found out 2 days later my special exotic gingerlily (with the buds) were GONE!  I was devastated!… however by migracles, yesterday I found a bloom in my other grouping of gingerlilies and even a couple more buds are shooting out… I was dancing for joy!… And it looks like I will have to make more with the petals on now.  =)

here’s their detail product descriptions to help you brainstorm:
beauty-mi Face soap — A miraculous cleanser-exfoliate all-in-one soap best known for its skin brightening and softening super-powers. Tradition has it that Asian women rub rice bran powder on their face to keep their skin smooth and youthful. Rice bran powder is said to prevent wrinkles, quickly heal blemishes, absorb the dirt and oil from the pores, balance the natural oils in the skin, and moisturize. We add in Adzuki Bean Powder, C-Milk (Vegan, Coconut Milk) and African Shea Butter to perfect this formula. Scented lightly in Peachy Yuzu fragrance oil.

balancing botanical mist — Toning is an often forgotten, but a very important step in any complete cleansing routine. A good toner can soften pores and prepare skin for moisturizing. Our Balancing Mist uses only pure, organically grown, floral extracts to create a mildly astringent, cooling toner that soothes, rejuvenates, and balances all skin types. Gently spray on clean face with this natural bontanical fine mist to retain healthy glowing skin. Our Balancing Mist is also a wonderful light moisturizer throughout the day whenever your skin needs a hydrating boost. Our 2 oz bottle is just the perfect size for convenient and travel anywhere.

beauty-mi Moisturizing oil — This artful blend of rice bran, Camelina, and Olive Squalane oils, works against the ravages of time and environmental toxins to improve your skin’s hydration and elasticity. Rice bran oil has components believed to hinder ultraviolet rays as they meet the skin’s surface, contains the highest amount of all natural Vitamin E, and is one of the gentlest oils. Camelina Oil, also know as the gold-of-pleasure, contains a high percentage of essential fatty acids to help repair damaged skin cells and improve skin elasticity. We proudly use Fitoderm® Olive Squalane Oil, a pure, botanically derived squalane produced by the total hydration of the squalane source in olive oil, known for boosting skin’s ability to naturally defend, regenerate, hydrate, and oxygenate. Apply 1-2 drops to the entire face and neck while skin is still moist from toning with Botanical Balancing Mist. The proportion of mist to oil can be adjusted to suit your skin type.

well.. June is in 3 days… but close enough!  All I can think of for June is Dads-n-Grads! ^_^ It’s all about those graduation celebrations and Father’s Day (which is on 6/15 this year!).  We’ve just put up at the shop a new refreshing rice soap that I think it’s perfect for the men & everyone. 

Forest it is! I love how it smells so clean and woodsy, with a blend of Fern, Cypress, Siberian Fir, Pine Needles that blends with Sweet Bay and Wax Myrtle plus just a hint of Citrus.  So refreshing and rejuvenating!  It is a wonderful bar for your men and to have around for the Summer.We are now all stocked up with Lemon Litsea, Bamboo Charcoal, Kauai GingerLily and our fun I {heart} beer gift set.  If you had missed them when they were out, go get some now before they are all gone again. ^_^

Our Gingerlily finally decided to bloom sparingly, so we made a new batch of soap with limited petals and another batch of Osmanthus.  They are now sliced and in curing…  They’ll be listed shortly and we’ll probably have to shipped them after Sun 12/16, to give them a few more days for curing.

We have a limited supplies of Kauai Gingerlily Soap just arrived at the shop now due to the high # of requests.  This batch is still w/o the petals… unfortunately =( …. our gingerlily in the garden is still not blooming yet due to the cool weather this Summer and early cold Wiinter. 

All other soaps are now well stocked but they are also going fast.  Osmanthus is already all sold for the season.  Send us a request if you like some soon or we will most likely bring it back next Spring.  It’s a lovely & different floral scent.  You can still get it in the Dry Perfume if you like to try.
