We all want skin with a clear complexion and healthy glow. We oftentimes buy expensive products to eliminate blemishes and keep skin full of moisture. Unfortunately, the majority of soaps found at your local grocery store contain chemicals and additives that adversely affect the texture and appearance of your skin. Nowadays, an increasing number of people are discovering the benefits of glycerin soaps that not only pamper sensitive skin, but also treat common skin conditions.

Many commercial soaps dry out the skin and can even cause unnecessary irritation. With glycerin soap, you can take advantage of its humectant properties, which work to attract moisture. Due to the power of vegetable-based oils, glycerin soaps offers natural benefits that hydrate the skin and keep it supple. Handcrafted glycerin soap also helps treat medical issues, such as eczema, acne, and psoriasis.

Eczema

Traditional soaps generally contain alcohol, lye, petroleum, and other unforgiving chemicals that worsen skin conditions, like eczema. To treat eczema, choose glycerin soap and goat milk soap, which actually encourages skin to heal. Keeping skin moisturized is an effective approach towards easing the symptoms of eczema, which include itchy, dry, thickened skin that usually attacks the face, hands, neck, and legs. Containing gentle pieces of oatmeal, our Milk and Honey handcrafted soap not only looks soothingly attractive, but also smells divine.

Psoriasis

Psoriasis causes skin to exfoliate at a faster rate, where new skin appears before older cells are shed. The condition creates thick patches of itchy and scaly skin on the hands, elbows, back, feet and scalp. While there is no cure for this skin condition, treatments can help control symptoms. For example, replace regular bath soaps with non-irritating glycerin soaps made with natural ingredients. Choose glycerin soaps that contain oatmeal to soothe inflammation. Magic Senses offers a spectacular Oatmeal Collection that provides the relaxing scents of lavender, almond and sandalwood – perfect for treating not only the physical symptoms of a skin condition, but also the anxiety.

Acne

Glycerin soap also serves as an effective natural acne treatment, as it gently cleanses without drying out the skin or aggravating existing blemishes. With nothing but natural ingredients, Magic Senses helps you tame unbalanced skin and reclaim a healthy clear complexion in a variety of well-known and exotic fragrances, including Freesia, Honeysuckle Dew, and Spiced Apple.

Our handcrafted Cranberry glycerin soap offers a refreshing display with an attractive clear red base and bright red curls. A normal shower or bath becomes a rush of crushed cranberries accompanied by a sweet scent that fully awakens the senses. Handcrafted with love and natural ingredients, Magic Senses Cranberry soap is much more than a holiday bestseller. Below you will find five enchanting ways to use one of our most popular glycerin soaps:

1. Housewarming Gift

There’s nothing like a housewarming gift that warms the mind and body. While loved one(s) unpack their belongings and settle into a new home, lessen their stress with a moisturizing soap drenched in the soothing scent of vibrant cranberries.

2. Festive Bathroom Décor

The scent of cranberry soap is uplifting and lively, making it the perfect addition to energize drab bathroom décor. Use the soaps to outfit guest bathrooms with a treat for visitors – a moisturizing bar of handcrafted soap made with fragrance oils and hypoallergenic vegetable glycerin.

3. Bath and Beauty Gift Basket

When you’re at a loss for gift ideas, handcrafted soaps offer a thoughtful (and functional) gesture for family and friends. With a decorative basket lined with a few pieces of red tissue paper, create a fragrant gift topped with curled ribbons for romantic occasions or joyful holidays. For the fruit lover, pair our cranberry soap with another Magic Senses’ fruity selection, such as Grapefruit, Lime Cooler, or Mango Papaya.

4. A Workplace Treat

Add a touch of class to the office restroom by creating a small basket of cranberry glycerin soaps, which not only provides a visual treat, but also adds an inviting scent to the setting. During special occasions, give handcrafted soap to co-workers as gifts – for birthdays, Secret Santa exchanges, or retirement parties.

5. Holiday Gift Giving

As one of our leading holiday sellers, use the jolly shade of Cranberry glycerin soap as the perfect addition to a Christmas basket or Valentine’s Day arrangement. Oozing with love and cheer, mix and match other red-colored Magic Senses soaps, such as Butterfly Kisses, Cherry Vanilla, Cinnamon, Peppermint, Watermelon, and Strawberry Fields.

In the world of color, shades of blue represent many different moods and emotions. As a consumer, you can purchase products, like scented soaps, to harness the tranquil nature of sky blue, baby blue, and turquoise. Blue symbolizes peace, calm, harmony, stability, loyalty and cleanliness. The color is additionally linked to slowing down your pulse, lowering body temperature and even reducing your appetite. Explore the power of blue soaps by using one of our handcrafted soaps to create a relaxing environment.

On a worldwide level, the color blue has many different meanings. In China, blue is associated with immortality. Symbolizing holiness, blue is an important color for the Jewish faith. The Hindus see the color blue as a representation of Krishna – often referred to as the Supreme Being. In the Middle East, blue signifies protection, which is probably why the color is used in law enforcement.

Our Fresh and Clean Collection offers a range of attractive blue handcrafted soaps, including:

* Oceans: Inside the greenish blue clear base with waves of solid blue, the sensual scent of perfumed musk oil is a popular choice amongst men and women. The fun blue and green fish shapes not only channel the beauty of the ocean, but also create a fun bathroom atmosphere.

* Blue Musk: Solid and clear baby blue swirls swim in a clear base that provide the ultimate journey in cleanliness with an agreeable fragrance reminiscent of our Oceans and Rain soaps.

* Seaside: Transport yourself to a seaside escape with a blend of floral and salty sea air secured within a clear base decorated with waves of solid green and blue.

* China Rain: With a soft scent of freshness joined with undertones of sweet bamboo, allow the fresh fragrance of China Rain to create tranquil daydreams.

Since blue is a color that reflects reliability in business circles, what better way to send a thoughtful (and functional) gesture to clients and partners than with a gift basket filled with “reliable” handcrafted soaps. For example, our Mini Aqua Gift Set contains our popular Oceans and Rain blue soaps.

Orange Clove Glycerin Soap

It’s really no surprise that the Orange Clove Glycerin Soap is one of our most popular holiday soaps, if not the most popular. In 2007 and 2008, it was the top selling soap for the holidays and when you breathe in the fragrance of this soap, you’ll know why. The combination of cloves with oranges, and a hint of nutmeg and cinnamon, are traditional scents used during the holiday season. If you hold this soap under your nose, close your eyes and inhale, you’ll think it’s that time of year already.

Although some soaps and candles have an orange fragrance that can be a bit sweet and overwhelming, this isn’t the case with the Orange Clove Soap. By using orange scented fragrance oil, the soap has a fresh, sharp orange smell. It’s almost as if you had peeled an orange yourself or poured a glass of cool Florida orange juice.

Saying that, the sharp zing of the orange scent, makes this an ideal soap for starting your day. While the cloves have a smooth, sultry fragrance, especially when combined with nutmeg and cinnamon, it’s the orange that will get you moving. The combination of scents used in this soap is something to experience, as the initial smell is of the cloves and it ends with the orange.

As with all our soaps, this not only smells great, but it’s handmade using vegetable glycerin, so it’s pretty to look at and great for your skin. But remember, this is a seasonal soap, so it isn’t made all year round. We currently only make it from September to March, so don’t miss out on your chance to enjoy this popular glycerin soap!

Note: It is our Featured soap of the month in November. It is also featured in our Mini Holiday Gift Set, next to Myrrh. On the website, it can be found under our Holiday Soap Collection or Fruity Glycerin Soap Category. Buy yours today!

Mountain Rain is one of the latest additions to the Magic Senses family of handmade glycerin soaps. As with all of our other soaps, the time taken to perfect the look, feel and smell of Mountain Rain is more than evident.

By using gardenia, Mountain Rain has a floral scent that is refreshing instead of overwhelming. Just leaving the soap out in your bathroom will make it one of the best smelling rooms in the house. Plus, the blue and green “raindrops” mean that not only is the soap functional, but it’s pretty to look at also.

The undertones of lavender, patchouli and vanilla make using this soap a relaxing and calming experience. When you lather up with Mountain Rain, you will feel like you have been whisked away to a fragrant English country garden in the spring. By closing your eyes and breathing in this lovely fragrance, your cares will just melt away.

Of course, because our Mountain Rain soap is predominantly made with vegetable glycerin, it is extremely moisturizing. Whether using it as a hand soap or when you are in the shower or bath, the soap will quickly form luxurious foaming bubbles. Not only will the scent relax you, but your skin will thank you. The more you use any glycerin soaps, the softer your skin will become. As an added benefit, not only will your skin be moisturized, it will be healthier and look younger!

One thing to remember is that glycerin-based soaps are soft soaps. This means that they can melt easier than other soaps, so it may not last as long as harder, commercially produced soaps. On the other hand, the fact that Mountain Rain soap smells and feels so great will probably mean that you will want to use it more anyway!

As you all know, Magic Senses offers Holiday Glycerin Soap in a few delicious fragrances and awesome designs: Myrrh, Cranberry, Orange Clove, Cinnamon, Spiced Apple, Peppermint, Spearmint and more.

About the Giveaway:

Open to US residents only.

Winners: 4 (1 bar each; soaps to choose from: Myrrh, Cranberry, Orange Clove, Cinnamon, Spiced Apple, Peppermint, Spearmint)
