"The Herbalist" Lavendar & Clary Sage Soap
"The Herbalist" Lavendar & Clary Sage Soap
I’m not only a soap maker, but an herbalist too, and I spend an enormous amount of time working with incredible plants and herbs. One of my favorite times of year is when the lavender comes into bloom. Harvesting lavender buds has got to be one of the most intoxicating and relaxing garden chores. This soap is designed specifically for herb and plant lovers alike. Lavender and clary sage are an intoxicating mix of floral with hint of resin creating a smell that you will want to have around all the time.
Crafted with care, this soap embodies the essence of nature, using simple, plant-based ingredients that celebrate the beauty and aroma of the lavender flower. Its luxurious lather makes it suitable for hands, hair, and body, delivering a clean that feels both refreshing and nourishing.
Beyond personal care, the versatility of this soap extends to household use—ideal for washing laundry or dishes (just remember to remove the lavender buds for those applications). Whether you’re living off-grid or simply enjoying the blend of practicality and nature, this soap connection to the earth reminds us of the simple joys that real plants can bring into our daily lives.

Note about handcrafted soap:
My soaps are made in small batches so your bar may vary from the picture shown. Each bar is hand cut from the loaf so the weight may vary a tiny amount between bars.

Review:
“Every year for a week I help an aircraft mechanic do an annual inspection on a sixty year old airplane. The work is gritty and greasy. My wife is a fan of Nettlesome Pantry soaps. I found that the soap does an excellent job cleaning the grit and grease. It also keeps my hands from getting the painful cracks that form around the fingernails. I now keep a bar of "The Herbalist" Lavendar & Clary Sage Soap in my truck”
