Product Description
Fall Harvest was dreamt on a fall day, harvesting and storing our pumpkins, butternuts, and kuri squashes. A vibrant and warm, spicy bar of soap, that will remind you of an early fall day.
I used cloves, cinammon, cedarwood, patchouli essential oils to give it a warm and deep scent, anchored in the season.
Ingredients
100% Saponified Winding Brook Farm Lard (Strafford, VT), Organic Olive Oil infused in wildcrafted nettle for 8 weeks, Organic Coconut Oil, Organic Shea Butter, Organic Castor Oil, Fresh Kuri Squash Puree from our garden, Essential Oil Blend (Cloves, Cinnamon, Cedarwood, Patchouli), Cinnamon Powder, Paprika Powder.
Lard:
All my soaps, unless marked Vegan, contain local tallow I render on my woodstove. In this soap, I used local pig fat (lard).

Cold Process Soap
I make my soap using the cold-process method, which is the traditional way of making soap. The process includes first, letting the soap harden in a mold for several days, then a curing period of 4-6 weeks depending on what oils are used.
This is why soaps in my shop are not always available after a scent has sold out.
All my soaps are superfatted at 5%, which means that some fat in the soap are not saponified, which is one of the reasons my handcrafted soap is gentle on your skin (that and the fact I am not using any synthetic fragrance or colorant).
How to use
Lather and Rinse. Test on small area of skin first, stop use if irritation occurs.
How to care for your soap
With proper care, your natural handcrafted soap will last longer than industrially made soaps. Make sure your soap is on a small dish that allows for airflow between usage to extend its lifespan.
If you don’t have a soap dish yet, I sell some soap dishes made right here in my village by a friend.
Net Weight approx. 4 oz. My soaps are handcrafted and hand cut, actual weight and appearance may vary slightly.
