Cowpoke Soap

Description

Cowpokes love the scents of eucalyptus lemon, cedarwood and lavender…and bugs and wee beasties don’t. The fragrant essential oils are also tough on body odors when tackling tough cowpoke tasks. Ground buckwheat is added for good measure and extra scrubbing power. Yeeha!

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.
