Treat yourself to skin-softening, handmade soap!

Frankly, nothing is better for your skin than handmade soap. Made from food-quality oils and pure water, goat milk, and natural additives like oats and clay, Olde Crone's Bewitching Bath Soap will pamper your skin, leaving it moisturized, clean, and with the fabulous scent of the soap you choose. These soaps are as natural as a soap can get: no artificial ingredients, fragrances, or additives are used. Once you try Olde Crone's, you won't want to use anything else!

Commercially made soaps aren't even soap--they are detergent. It's the same stuff that you probably use to wash your clothes. Sodium Laurel Sulfate, sodium laureth sulfate, amonium laurel sulfate--it's all simply detergent. Industries with machines use it as an engine degreaser. Oh, it degreases all right--it dries your skin out!

Olde Crone's handmade soap is made by the cold process method, which retains all the naturally-occurring glycerin of the saponification process. The oils used are all vegetable based, so vegetarians can feel comfortable knowing that no animal fats are present. Many of the soaps are also vegan, using no animal products whatsoever. You will feel comforted, knowing that your skin is being treated with an all-natural product which helps to moisturize it and continues to keep it soft through continued use.

What? You haven't even used handmade soap before? Well, my friend, you are in for a treat. Here's what some of the Olde Crone's customers have to say:

Oatmeal Honey Soap

"It's like wearing silk pajamas."
--Kristin, farmer's market customer, Denver

"This soap got rid of the dry, red, bumpies that covered the back of my arm. They are still gone!"
--Becky, customer, Denver

 

Macho Man Face and Body Soap

"I use it all over: on my face, my body, and I even use it on my hair. That stuff is amazing! It leaves my skin soft and smooth, and my hair is soft, too! How does that work? Awesome!"
--Mike, customer, Denver

Lavender Calendula Baby Soap
Gardener's Soap
Oatmeal Honey Soap

"I have all three of these soaps in use: the Oatmeal Honey is in the shower, and the Gardener's soap is by the kitchen sink, and the Lavender baby soap is by the bathroom sink. Until I used your soap, I had not found a soap that would help my psoriasis. No matter what soap I used, even handmade soaps, I would end up with cracked skin and dry, white, itchy patches. YOUR soap is the ONLY soap that does not leave my hands like that. My hands are soft and much smoother, and I don't even have to use the medicated cream that my doctor prescribed. There is a marked change in my skin. I never want to stop using your soap! I love it!"
--Lynn, farmer's market customer (for life, apparently), Phoenix

Lavender Mist Shampoo Bar

"You should call this 'Goddess Hair' shampoo."
--Dr. Julie Seymour, farmer's market customer, Denver

"Maybe I will."
--Amy Kalinchuk, The Olde Crone

 

"I buy your soaps at the Pearl Street Farmer's Market and stock up at the end of the market season. However, I ran out of your soap right after Christmas, and a friend gave me an 'Ayurvedic All-Natural' soap as a gift. I cannot even finish using it. After I get out of the shower and dry off, my skin is immediately dry and itchy. I'm placing another order right now. :) Thanks for making this beautiful product!"

--Robin, market customer

I have been buying soap from different places, first at a farmer's market in Washington state. Then I started looking around on the internet for home made soap. You were the first I bought from. Your soap is great. But of course, I had to try some others and then the soap from the shampoo store, but I want you to know that you have the best soap I have found and my skin wants to thank you. Yes, my skin talks back to me. Thanks so much.

--Nancy, internet customer, Van Nuys, California

All of The Olde Crone's soaps are handmade. A mold that shapes the soaps in a uniform manner is used; soaps weigh between 4-4.5 ounces each. The soaps are meant to be used, hence their rustic appearance. If you want to use them to scent your underwear drawer, you are welcome to do so, but it is preferred that you use the soaps and then tell us how much you love them.

If you want to see, feel, and smell the soaps, then come visit at the farmer's markets! In 2013, The Olde Crone will be at the Old South Pearl Street Farmer's Market on Sundays.
