Honey and beeswax turn an olive oil-based soap into something incredible. Add a touch of lemon-scented verbena and you’ve got a lovely lather that smells as good as it feels. It’s the bees knees, sold in a set of 3: one bee, one butterfly and one ladybug for $10.

Ingredients:
Distilled water, olive oil, palm oil, coconut oil, sodium hydroxide, beeswax, honey and lemon verbena essential oil.

Olive oil-based soaps have been around for centuries…and beloved for their gentleness. We took it up a notch by adding jojoba oil and beeswax, and then lightly scenting it with red clover — a fragrance that reminds us of a springtime meadow after a good rain.

Ingredients:
Olive oil, distilled water, coconut oil, palm oil, sodium hydroxide, jojoba oil, beeswax, red clover fragrance oil and some shaved red crayon (beeswax and child-safe colorant).

$5 per bar.

Mention white chocolate anything in a crowded room and people take notice. It’s insane. It’s ludicrous. It smells delicious. Cocoa butter and white chocolate make this a decadent choice.

Ingredients: A blend of soybean oil, distilled water, olive oil, coconut oil, sodium hydroxide, palm oil, cocoa butter, white chocolate.

You’ve gotta try it to believe it. This soap’s scent walks the line between Lou Rawls and Janis Joplin, and doesn’t apologize to anybody for being sexy. Softly scented with rose and patchouli essential oils, and peppered with organically grown rose petals, this emollient heart-shaped soap isn’t for the sweet or the meek.

Ingredients: Pomace oil, goat’s milk, coconut oil, palm oil, distilled water, sodium hydroxide, glycerin, rose and patchouli essential oils, and ground rose petals.
