New Salt Soaps

Early last year I decided to drastically reduce the amount of regular olive oil based oatmeal/clay soap I produce, stop making body butter, and focus mainly on my sea salt soaps and lotion bars and try to get them into higher production and larger stores. It wasn't really a very difficult decision for me to make but some people have been surprised by it.  My olive oil/oatmeal based soaps are very expensive to make, even though I don't use expensive coloured clays and fragrance oils, and so time consuming to cut, stamp, wrap, and try to make less lumpy and imperfect looking that it’s such a relief to be mostly finished with them (I'll keep making a few of the most popular scents and I still have a lot left if anyone is interested - they are still available at Farfelu, Brome Lake Books, L’Emporium North Hatley and if you contact me directly) Also they are what all of the other handcrafted soap makers produce with an astounding array of options.  I decided to concentrate on the sea salt soaps because they are such a unique product that are not seen very often, especially here in Quebec, and they've been becoming more and more popular over the years since I started to sell them in 2014 (it's hard to believe I almost gave up on them in the beginning because they are a much trickier advanced soap to make and I didn't think anyone would be interested!).  I have been perfecting my own recipe for 6 years now so I like to think they are pretty special :-) There are 8 scents and two sizes - the 160+gram lighthouse and a smaller 50+gram rectangle that I’m hoping will make it easier for people to experiment with the different scents before investing in the big lighthouse (or to just try on a whim and get addicted;-)

I created a flyer to go along with them (the text turned out to be much smaller than I expected) but here’s what it says:
