Gardeners Gold Soap Refill Bar

Description

This listing is for one BARE bar of Gardener’s Gold Soap, accompanied by a description card.

This soap blends ingredients from the garden, for the gardener…or anyone who loves to be reminded of a day spent with the sun and soil. The natural floral scents of geranium and lavender mingle with the light, sunny smell of grapefruit. Carrots add a beautiful orange hue, as well as a good helping of beta-carotene. It’s golden!

This exceptional bar of Seattle Sundries soap comes unpackaged (bare) with a round description card. 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.
