Mexican soap release

Fiona Goldthorpe has collaborated with a local soap company to release a range of 100% all natural, handmade soaps. which has taken quite some months of research, testing, tweaking of designs to finally come up with a range that we are so excited about “I don’t think there is anything quite like it on our market” says Fiona
My designs are based on the Mexican Day of the Dead theme (Dia de los Muertos) as I particularly love the rich, graphic quality of everything that surrounds that festival.

I am launching 2 soaps:
The black soap being an Activated Charcoal soap, and the white one is Crushed Pearl (made from actual crushed pearls – which I think is really beautiful).

 

There is a 3rd in the pipeline which will be created from Asian Tree Bark. All 100% natural with essential oils added, not synthetic fragrance oils.
