In our exhaustive search for the best handmade soaps,
we were lucky enough to find Karla, of Heart of Iowa Soapworks. She makes
the most fabulous soaps on the market! Karla began making soaps because
she cannot tolerate the chemicals, preservatives, fillers and other icky
stuff in commercial soaps. Consequently, her soaps contain none of that
junk (although she does use fragrance oils in a few of her soaps) - they're
just pure, natural bars of squeaky clean goodness. All of Karla's soaps,
EXCEPT the goat's milk soaps and the Lather of Youth Luxury Soap, are suitable
for vegans. And whatever you do, don't miss out on her amazing shampoo
bars!

Soapdish To ensure the long life or your handmade
soap, it needs to be kept away from running water (out of the way
of the shower stream) and is also needs to dry in between uses -
not sit in a puddle of mushy soap-water. To facilitate that, a soapdish
works wonderfully |
