Day Two Hundred and Twenty Four - Haliburton Soaps

Dear all,

Today we reaped the benefits of our wonderful shopping excursion in Muskoka and cracked open the gorgeous bars of soap purchased from Robinsons.
Both Darren and I are keen to keep cosmetics 'au natural' and I can feel myself gradually stepping further and further away from products that may 'look' and 'smell' fabulous but actually contain things like Magnesium Aluminium Sulphate and hydroxyhydroisohexyl-3-cyclo hexane and cause us a whole load of damage.
On sale in Robinsons was a fabulous display of home-crafted soaps, all 100% natural and smelt incredible. http://www.haliburtonsoapfactory.com/index.html. Darren picked out two: The Fisherman's Soap and The Outdoor soap, both huge loaves [New thing learnt today: soap comes in a 'loaves ']

The outdoor soap is full of wonderful essential oils such as citronella ( good for fending off mosquito's), Lavender ( soothing on the skin) and eucalyptus (medicinal). The fisherman's soap ramps it up a little and contains small grains of loafer that exfoliate and condition the skin. And not a chemical formula in sight!

A fabulous addition to the home and I would highly recommend checking out the website. They even do soaps made to order!
