Our handcrafted Spearmint soap is just the wake up call you need to start the morning off with a fresh perspective of the day to come. Handmade with vegetable glycerin, and invigorating fragrances, you’ll enjoy the refreshing feeling of bathing with a soap that doesn’t irritate the skin or cause excessive dryness. In a creamy white base with a hint of pale green, our attractive soap offers light green loops of spearmint leaf shapes that jumpstart the body with tingly cool sensations.

Spearmint Aromatherapy

The scent of spearmint is typically used to increase and enhance mental sharpness. In aromatherapy circles, spearmint is used to heal, bring good luck, as well as send travelers off on a safe journey. The scent is also known to ease nervous stress, ease mental fatigue, fight nausea, restore the body, and stimulate the mind.

Spearmint Soap Gift Ideas

Since spearmint is effective in awakening the senses and cleansing personal spaces, our handmade glycerin soap makes a delightful housewarming gift. It also makes a suitable companion for loved ones who are relocating to another city or state. Some of our customers pair our Spearmint soap with Peppermint to double their choices for an invigorating start to the day. Both scents are also perfect for the holidays – whether you’re decorating your bathroom for guests or leaving something special under the Christmas tree for relatives.

Interesting Facts About Spearmint

Also known as Garden Mint, Our Lady’s Mint, Sage of Bethlehem, and Lamb Mint, spearmint is one of the most popular of culinary mints. The plant is used in a variety of healing methods and has proven beneficial for people suffering lung diseases. To feel the effects of spearmint, some people tuck a few leaves under their pillow or mattress for a protected sleep. Take care in knowing that our Spearmint glycerin soap will have you covered throughout the day.

Raspberry Handcrafted Glycerin SoapNo need to venture into the woods to get a whiff of fresh berries. At Magic Senses, we offer a satisfying substitute that adds the warmth of raspberry kisses to your bathing experience. Our Raspberry glycerin soap is a handmade, handcut natural cleanser presented in a clear red-pink base. Inside, you will find an explosion of inviting shapes and colors. It’s certainly one of our more playful selections in our line of vegetable glycerin soaps.

Ideas for Raspberry Glycerin Soap

The scent of raspberry is warming, romantic, and dreamy. The fragrance coupled with the cheerful color scheme is a popular choice amongst the ladies, and makes the perfect gift for Valentine’s Day and birthdays. When looking for a baby shower gift filled with warmth, you won’t be disappointing in choosing our Raspberry soap.

Another creative way to use our Raspberry glycerin soap is to send a teenage girl off to college with a basketful. The gentle ingredients in the soap will help balance her transitioning skin – protecting it from the harsh chemicals found in the majority of commercial soaps.

Benefits of Raspberry Glycerin Soap

We only use natural ingredients in the creation of our irritant-free soap: vegetable glycerin, water, as well as natural colors and fragrances. The soap works wonders for sensitive skin and offers satisfying moisturizing qualities. The Raspberry glycerin soap also makes an effective addition to a daily cleansing regimen aimed at combating the symptoms of common skin conditions, such as excessive dryness, eczema and psoriasis.

Fruity Glycerin Soap Collection

If you’re in the mood for berry picking with Magic Senses Raspberry soap, why not try an entire fruit basket of fragrances? Our handmade Raspberry glycerin soap is part of the Fruity Glycerin Soap Collection, which also includes the citrus zing of Grapefruit and the delightful design of our Green Apple soap.

For most, the holiday season is a time of entertaining. From dinner parties to having drinks with friends to family members visiting for a few days, the time can fly by in a blur of events. It can be too easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of both attending and preparing for all that is happening over the holidays. The details of getting everything ready can take away from actually enjoying your own event.

Of course, if you’re the host, you want everything to be perfect, everyone to feel welcome and comfortable during their time with you. By incorporating some handmade soaps into your preparations, you can ensure that everyone who is a guest will feel special during a stay at your home.  Nothing is more welcoming than being greeted by fresh towels adorned with a beautiful bar of handmade glycerin soap after a long day of travelling, shopping, visiting or attending other festive events.

Towels with handmade glycerin soaps

With so many different colors, styles and scents to choose from, you can provide a unique handmade glycerin soap for each of your guests. You can choose a soap based on the person, or with the wide range of holiday soaps, you can easily find some that will match with your overall decor. Peppermint, cranberry, cinnamon, orange clove and myrrh are just some of the different soaps you can choose from. There are even snowmen and snowflake shaped soaps if you have children visiting or you want to add a little whimsy to a stay with you.

No matter what you decide, not only will the handmade glycerin soaps be appreciated when they are first received, but they will act as a subtle reminder of this special time of year throughout the following months.
