Highland Fling Soap

Description

Have you ever hoped for a fling in the Highlands? As irresistible as a piper in a kilt, this rich amber soap is the perfect balance of sweet smelling honey and hard-working oatmeal. The honey gives this bar its attractive color and luscious scent. Rolled oats are ground and added to give it a speckled appearance and to lightly exfoliate the skin. It’s pure dead brilliant!

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.

Olive Oil:
High in Vitamin E and known to be the very best Oil to use in soap for sensitive skins. It is a fantastic skin softener and moisturizer.

Coconut Oil:
Coconut oil gives soaps a fluffy lather. It will make a very hard bar of soap with abundant lather, even in very hard water or sea water.

RSPO Certified Palm Oil:
Palm oil makes a hard bar that cleans well and is also mild.

Honey:
Honey is primarily known for its humectant and antimicrobial qualities. (A humectant is a compound that attracts moisture to itself and helps retain the moisture.) It is a wonderful additive to soaps. It can impart a light, warm, sweet scent, adds a bit of lathering capability, and acts as a humectant.
Cleopatra of Egypt regularly took honey and milk baths to maintain her youthful appearance. It was said that Queen Anne of England used a honey and oil concoction to keep her long hair lustrous, thick and shiny. And Chinese women have a tradition of using a blend of honey and ground orange seeds to keep their skin blemish-free. (Information from The National Honey Board)

Oatmeal:
Oatmeal has been used for centuries as a soothing agent to relieve itch and irritation associated with various skin conditions. Oatmeal acts a cleanser, moisturizer, buffer, as well as a soothing and protective anti-inflammatory agent.
