Coming Clean with Soap Appeal
Blogged under Furniture and Home Decor, Gifts, Health & Beauty by Katherine Tanney on Wednesday 27 February 2008

We’ve cleaned our hands with dainty seashells and bas-relief roses in guest baths near and far. Most of us have become accustomed to translucent bars of soap that have toys, swirls of color, or other tiny mother-soap-skinsations.jpgobjects embedded in them. Well, we haven’t seen anything until we’ve been to Skinsations, where the soaps not only are handmade and decorative, but are amazing works of art available for a few dollars each. Your visitors will think you’ve left a valuable heirloom in the loo when they see a molded masterpiece like Mother With Children, a four-ounce circle for washing up that contains the level of exquisite detail found in a fine cameo. This one shows a woman, her children, their dog, and an English country backdrop ($4.25). Or consider The Swan, a clear bar of fragrant soap upon which swirling white calla lilies dance with a cluster of white curls ($4.25). Your guests might just mistake it for marble. Equally impressive are the Celtic Cross soaps, which take floral motifs and build them into bi-colored disks pretty enough to wear. At Soapylove’s Glycerin Soap Gallery, the offerings look so delicious you’ll want to eat them. Check out the Petite Soap Favors, which look like petits fours (75 cents each at Soapylove’s Etsy site). Drool over the Neapolitan Soapsicle, which is scented with vanilla, chocoate, and strawberry, just like its real-life counterpart ($8 at Pink Olive Boutique). A great-smelling, handcrafted soap treat waiting for our hands is as good a reason as any to freshen up.
