Welcome to the Nettlesome Life. I document my adventures in herbal soap making, growing food, foraging for wild edibles and making things by hand. Hope you have a nice stay!
Cold air, indoor heat, and frequent washing can leave skin feeling dry and uncomfortable — which is why this collection focuses on soaps that cleanse without stripping. These bars are formulated with extra conditioning oils and thoughtfully balanced ingredients to support skin when it needs it most.
You’ll find soaps here that feel nourishing from the first use — the kind you reach for all winter long.
Many people find it helpful to keep:
one gentle soap by the sink for daily handwashing
another, richer bar in the shower or bath
and a few backups on hand so routines stay consistent
Small shifts like this can make winter feel a lot more comfortable.
Naturally glycerin-rich
Balanced for frequent use
Designed to leave skin feeling clean, not tight
No harsh detergents. No unnecessary additives. Just well-made soap, suited for the season.
