Choosing Soap by Season: Summer vs. Winter Bars
Your skin changes with the seasons, so your soap can too. Here's how I switch things up during the year here in Arizona.
Summer: Fresh and Cool
When it's over 100 degrees, you want something that feels fresh. You may also sweat more and shower more often.
- BREATHE Eucalyptus & Peppermint: cool and refreshing.
- Sea Salt Agave: like a breeze off the ocean.
- Eucalyptus Mint Soap on a Rope: easy for quick showers.
Summer tip: Use a lighter moisturizer and don't forget sunscreen.
Winter: Warm and Cozy
Cooler nights and heaters can make skin extra dry. Reach for warm, comforting scents.
- Manuka Honey & Oats: soft and soothing.
- Orange Patchouli: bright and warm.
- Tobacco Caramel: rich and cozy.
Winter tip: Use a richer body butter and keep showers warm, not hot.
Spring: Light and Pretty
- Pink Peony: soft and floral.
- Rose Bergamot Soap on a Rope.
Fall: Calm and Grounded
- French Lavender & Oats.
- Turmeric Ginger Soap on a Rope: warm and spicy.
What Stays the Same
No matter the season, every bar we make has shea butter, coconut milk and kaolin clay, and no sulfates.
A little about us: I'm Gracie, a third-generation soap maker. My grandmother started our family's soap making, and I'm proud to carry it on. We're a small, faith-centered family business in Waddell, Arizona, and we make everything by hand in small batches.
