If you love the rich, comforting aroma of a fresh-steeped cup of Earl Grey tea, you will absolutely adore our soap of the same name. To make this batch extra special, chamomile tea was brewed and used as a partial water substitute in our recipe. Why didn't we use Earl Grey tea in the pot, you ask? Well, mayhaps we just wanted to drink it ourselves! 

You can find this artisan bar locally at Herstory in Jackson, Tennessee—a spectacular, sassy shop dedicated entirely to celebrating the creations of women makers.

TIPS, TRICKS & TUTELAGE

The Nature Of Our Craft:

  • Beautifully Unique: Because our soap is handmade in small batches, no two bars are exactly alike. Please expect natural variations from the photos shown on the site.
  • Scent is Personal: While we describe each fragrance profile carefully, please keep in mind that olfactory favorites are wonderfully subjective—our absolute favorite smells and scent categories may not necessarily be yours!

How To Care For Your Bar:

  • The Five-Week Cure: Whispering Woods Soapery patiently cures every single batch of soap for a minimum of five weeks. This practice results in a harder, much longer-lasting bar.
  • Keep It Dry: Handcrafted soap naturally carries an abundance of moisture-loving glycerin. Because of this, your bar should be kept dry between uses. For the best performance, keep your soap out of the direct spray of water and rest it on a well-draining soap dish. We promise you it will be much happier this way!
  • Easy Handling: Want a more manageable grip in the shower? You can always cut your soap bar into smaller pieces for easier handling.

A Few Friendly Notes:

  • Colorful Suds: Soaps with rich, dark, or brilliantly vibrant hues can lead to some fun, interestingly-colored lather, so don't be surprised! While we personally have never experienced a single instance of staining during our studio testing, you may want to avoid using your favorite light-colored washcloths with darker bars, just in case.
  • Safety First: As with any new product used on the skin, please discontinue use immediately if irritation occurs.
  • Yay, You! This final bullet point is simply here to give you a warm pat on the back for reading all the way down to the bottom. Look at you go! 🎉
