Death by Chocolate Soap
Who doesn’t love chocolate?
Who doesn’t drool at the sight of rich, silky, decadent, dark chocolate? I know I’ve had a love affair with this addictive treat since childhood. So we decided to take it one step further:
Chocolate Soap!
We made our famously decadent soap in rich buttermilk, creamy Dutch chocolate and a pinch of cocoa butter for a sinfully rich showering experience! Chocolate is an all-natural skin moisturizer, called an emollient, so it “traps” in moisture and locks it in. Our soap will soothe your chocolate cravings with no calories. It rinses off clean so no need to worry about stickiness or an “after feel.” All you’ll get is a fat-free treat…in the shower.
Grab one today as a gift for a chocolate lover at:

Woof ‘N Hoof: Animal Set
Your pet is as much apart of the family as anyone else so why not give them the best? Woof ‘n Hoof is made with 100% Extra virgin olive oil and green tea. This rich, mild yet gentle sudsy lather will get your pet squeaky clean with no irritation to his or her skin.

This works well on other animals too, like hamsters, birds and all farm animals that need grooming…the organic way. Grab a set today and show your pet you care.

God’s Cure for everything
Love garlic?
We do! We put garlic in everything from lasagna, to soups and stews and you guessed it…soap!
We’ll be introducing our newest soap next week and we’re so excited! But first a little garlic trivia:
1. Garlic is a bulb, not a vegetable
2. The active ingredient that kills bacteria is called “Allium”
3. Garlic is an excellent food preserver
4. King Tut was stuffed with garlic and lavender to help preserve his remains
5. Shallots, onions, leek and chives are all in the garlic family
6. Garlic is revered by herbalists to “kill” cancer cells
7. Garlic can fight an asthma attack
8. One clove of garlic a day will help lower blood sugar
9. Garlic helps to prevent heart attacks
10. Garlic tea, yes…I know, can help fight cavities
That’s a LOT for a tiny bulb!
We grow ours in pots so the squirrels and rabbits can’t get to them. Stay tuned…we’re going to show you what garlic soap can do.

Sweet Milk Clay Soap
With the summer heat, is your face oily and sweating? Are you worried about pimples and breaking out? SoapMuffin has the remedy for that. Sweet Milk Clay Soap! It’s our newest creation and we’re very proud. Clay is an old Egyptian secret, much like goat’s milk, for clear, beautiful skin. Clay actually absorbs oil from your pores and washes it away leaving you with a shine free complexion.
Did you also know that clay is the main ingredient used in mud masks?
You don’t have to go very far or spend very much for organic facial care. At 3.00 a bar, you can grab a few to keep that summer shine at bay!

A good friend and co-worker asked me the other day, “Do you make anything for the Rasta Culture?”
Introducing: Ras Tafari Beeswax Pomade
I obtained organic beeswax from a good beekeeper in the midwest. Her wax is pure, undiluted and 100% untainted by pesticides. I added a dollop of green tea extract and real Ghanaian Shea Butter for an incredible luxurious feel. This pomade will gently hold all hair types, without being greasy, especially those that wish to sport the dreadlock look.
This pomade is gently scented and is suitable for everyday use. Try it today! Only at:

Organic Coconut Oil
When I traveled with my family throughout the islands, we were blessed to have raw, fresh, unspoiled coconut oil, coconut water and coconut milk to purchase right from the market square. The taste is incomparable to anything we’ve ever tasted. Smooth, rich and thick, it seemed to pop up everywhere. In drinks, in rice dishes, in seafood sauces and, of course, in soaps.
We love coconut oil.
It’s a soap maker’s gift from God. Coconut oil, and it’s milk and water, is so beneficial to the skin, it’s almost unbelievable. It coats and seals in moisture, it helps to heal wounds and scarring, it enriches your hair with vitamins making it silky and thick…I could go on and on about Nature’s finest fruit. At SoapMuffin, we use raw coconut oil and milk in our soaps for an incredibly rich lather. We had a customer from the craft fair who emailed us regarding the Ancestry Shampoo for Dry and Brittle Hair.
Not only did her hair “behave” (her words) in this very hot July summer, but it smelled so good, she now uses it as a regular bar of soap! Our products are made with the discerning consumer in mind. Real oils, real butters, real milks…all for a wonderful bath/ shower experience.

We had a great time looking at (and buying) crochet blankets, homemade greeting cards, jams and jellies and eating grilled corn on the cob. We brought our handmade soaps, including our newest creation:
Men’s Black Pepper And Hazelnut Soap
What you’re looking at is a Men’s Black Pepper and Hazelnut Soap. Hmmm….I love hazelnut, don’t you? The Fresh scent of hazelnut coffee in the morning always does the trick to get me going. Real ground peppercorns and hazelnut oil went into this delicious smelling soap. Did you know that black pepper acts as an all natural astringent? Yes…it actually cleans out your pores and fights acne-causing bacteria and helps to prevent razor bumps.
This is my husband’s favorite soap…which I always have to have on hand to keep him happy (wink).
Do you have a special male friend that you’d like to surprise? Or maybe just give your honey a “love you, babe” sweet, little gift? This wonderfully mild men’s soap will definitely do the trick!

Is there anything nicer and more relaxing than the warm sensual scent of pure vanilla? Used for centuries to relax the mind and spirit, vanilla is a world-wide medicinal “healer” of anxiety. Did you know that Cleopatra was rumored to breathe in vanilla when faced with the challenges of her Empire?
The fragrance of vanilla comes from the vanilla pod. Inside the pod lies beans:
The beans are then cooked and strained to make vanilla extract for cooking and baking or distilled to make essential oils for cremes, lotions and, you guessed it, soap! Vanilla calms the mind and releases stress hormones called “cortisol” to help you relax. That’s why many people use vanilla candles and soaps right before bedtime.
Try our natural Vanilla Soap.
Made with Aloe Vera and coconut oils, it will soothe your skin and wash away your cares.
