First in a line of nicely scrubby ‘garden’ soaps — by which I mean, they’ll get the dirt out from under your nails!

This one takes the scents from my popular cilantro lime lip balm, and adds the scrubbiness of ground loofah. Great for getting out ground-in dirt and grass stains on your knees — also great for removing some of the layer of dry skin you built up over the winter.

This stuff isn’t what I’d call gentle, but it smells great and wow, will you be clean afterwards!

You don’t need me to preach the virtues of handmade soap — you already know. And as always my soaps are made from only the best natural ingredients.

Each bar averages five ounces.

Ingredients: Saponified oils of coconut, palm, castor and safflower; glycerine, water, goats milk, honey, berry extract, glycine soya protein, titanium dioxide, pine essential oil, cilantro essential oil, lime essential oil, ground loofah.
