Gender Neutral Soap

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 10:45:26 -0500

$9.50
Certain sweet smells appeal to almost everybody. Whether you’re young or old, man or woman, boy or girl, or not quite sure…this soap is for you. Made with cocoa powder, vanilla and sweet birch essential oil, this frothy bar has a warm, rich smell that is reminiscent of a root beer float. Try it! You’ll like it!

This exceptional bar of Seattle Sundries soap comes packaged in a reusable and recyclable travel tin. After each use, the wet bar is best stored with the tin placed lid side down. All Seattle Sundries soaps are made to fit perfectly in the palm of your hand. The round shape is smooth and naturally comfortable, unlike a square or rectangular bar.

Each bar is 3” wide and just over 1” deep, weighing 4.25 ounces or more. As with all handcrafted artisan soaps, there may be some variation in color and slight irregularities in shape. This is a result of being cut and trimmed by human hands rather than by a machine. If you find that your soap “sweats” when left out, don’t be alarmed. It’s simply the natural glycerin in the soap attracting moisture from the air.

U.S. orders are sent 2-3 day Priority Mail with Email confirmation. International orders are shipped 1st Class Mail and can take 1-2 weeks, depending on the destination.

Shaving Set with White Covered Bowl

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 10:45:17 -0500

$30.00
Seattle Sundries’ soap is GREAT for shaving…smooth and richly lathered. Each shaving set comes with a white stoneware shaving bowl with a lid that fits comfortably in the palm of your hand, a white boar’s hair shaving brush and two bars of bars of frothy shaving bliss (of your choosing). I recommend creamy, unscented Goat’s Milk Soap, the lightly scented Manly Man Soap, or Smooth Shave Soap for a more masculine shaving experience. If you prefer that a different bar be substituted, I’m happy to oblige.

Each bar is 3” wide and just over 1” deep weighing 4.5 ounces or more. As with all handcrafted artisan soaps, there may be some variation in color and slight irregularities in shape. This is a result of being cut and trimmed by human hands rather than by a machine If you find that your soap “sweats” when left out, don’t be alarmed.

Patchouli Essential Oil:
Patchouli is a small bush with large, fragrant, furry leaves and white-to-mauve flowers with an earthy, woody aroma and a nearly hidden fruity note. It is used to help remedy skin problems such as acne, eczema, athlete's foot, fungus and dandruff. The word "patchouli" came from the Hindustani language but the exact meaning has been forgotten. Patchouli is also reputed to be good for the emotions. It is said to help calm the nerves after an emotional upset. It is also said to be useful in cheering those who are depressed. In hippie lore Patchouli was thought to be an aphrodisiac.

Orange Essential Oil:
Expressed sweet orange oil is a pale orange yellow to dark orange color; it has a sweet, light and fresh, fruity aroma and flavor. It's cheering, joyful, bright and lively aroma disperses gloomy thoughts, obsessions, and a fear of the unknown. It is good for mature and dry skin types.

French Red (Montmorillonite) Clay:
Was used in ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome to treat a variety of skin problems and digestive disorders. French red clay is regarded as a useful treatment for stimulating the skin and removing impurities from the epidermis (outermost layer of skin cells). The clay works by adsorbing impurities from the skin cells and by stimulating the flow of blood to the epidermis.

Shaving Set with White Covered Bowl

Sun, 15 Nov 2009 10:34:27 -0500

$30.00
Seattle Sundries’ soap is GREAT for shaving…smooth and richly lathered. Each shaving set comes with a white stoneware shaving bowl with a lid that fits comfortably in the palm of your hand, a white boar’s hair shaving brush and TWO BARS of frothy shaving bliss (of your choosing). I recommend creamy, unscented Goat’s Milk Soap, the lightly scented Manly Man Soap, or Smooth Shave Soap for a more masculine shaving experience. If you prefer that a different bar be substituted, I’m happy to oblige.

Each bar is 3” wide and just over 1” deep weighing 4.5 ounces or more. As with all handcrafted artisan soaps, there may be some variation in color and slight irregularities in shape. This is a result of being cut and trimmed by human hands rather than by a machine If you find that your soap “sweats” when left out, don’t be alarmed. It’s simply the natural glycerin in the soap attracting moisture from the air.

Folk wisdom says that the smell of anise is a surefire fish attractant. It masks the smell of human scent and is irresistible to fish. Whether that’s true or not, we cannot say, but the luscious black licorice smell of anise and tea tree essential oils remind us of Ouzo and Raki…so at the very least we can imagine that we are Greek fisherman out for a day in the sun and surf…drinking and spinning great tales of our fishing prowess.

Moss Green Soap Sweater Set

Tue, 20 Oct 2009 10:59:56 -0400

$7.75
This is a classic idea whose time has come again. Soap Sweaters help increase lather and gently exfoliate your skin while allowing you to use those precious bars of soap until the very end. It's made to hold a full bar, but the soap sweater is also great for soap slivers and those hard-to-hold pieces that often get thrown in the trash and wasted.

This set includes one BARE bar (of your choosing) of fabulous Seattle Sundries soap safely snuggled in its own cozy soap sweater. Soap sweaters are soft like a washcloth and can be hung on a hook in your shower. Your grandmother would be proud.

Made from a cotton & synthetic fiber blend that allows for faster drying times and resists stretching, the sweater is hand crocheted by Etsy artist Dawn of Scary White Girl Designs. Check out her shop at http://scarywhitegirl.etsy.com/ for more crocheted goodies.

Be sure to specify your choice of soap bar when you go through the Etsy checkout.

Rejuvenation Soap

Thu, 15 Oct 2009 13:14:39 -0400

$9.50
When you’ve “had a DAY”, this soap will help take you away. The scents of rose, jasmine and sandalwood are a calming and restorative cure for a less than perfect mood. Shea butter is added to make a bar that is extra-rich and pampering. Sometimes a nice hot bath and a little “MeLC” is all we need to help us get back to that happy place.

This exceptional bar of Seattle Sundries soap comes packaged in a reusable and recyclable travel tin. After each use, the wet bar is best stored with the tin placed lid side down. All Seattle Sundries soaps are made to fit perfectly in the palm of your hand. The round shape is smooth and naturally comfortable, unlike a square or rectangular bar.

Each bar is 3” wide and just over 1” deep, weighing 4.25 ounces or more. As with all handcrafted artisan soaps, there may be some variation in color and slight irregularities in shape. This is a result of being cut and trimmed by human hands rather than by a machine. If you find that your soap “sweats” when left out, don’t be alarmed.

This manly soap is scented with the traditional oils of clary sage and vetiver, which give it a musky and full aroma that could, perhaps, inspire acts of heroism…
or taking out the garbage.

This exceptional bar of Seattle Sundries soap comes packaged in a reusable and recyclable travel tin. After each use, the wet bar is best stored with the tin placed lid side down. All Seattle Sundries soaps are made to fit perfectly in the palm of your hand. The round shape is smooth and naturally comfortable, unlike a square or rectangular bar.

Each bar is 3” wide and just over 1” deep, weighing 4.25 ounces or more. As with all handcrafted artisan soaps, there may be some variation in color and slight irregularities in shape. This is a result of being cut and trimmed by human hands rather than by a machine. If you find that your soap “sweats” when left out, don’t be alarmed. It’s simply the natural glycerin in the soap attracting moisture from the air.

U.S. orders are sent 2-3 day Priority Mail with Email confirmation. International orders are shipped 1st Class Mail and can take 1-2 weeks, depending on the destination.
