New Product Alert
Ahead of the summer season, The Purple Llama has 3 NEW All-Natural soaps: Himalayan Sea Salt, Aloe, and Charcoal.

Soaps are debuting on June 6th at the Draper Village Heritage Market

Himalayan salt soap acts as a natural exfoliator to gently remove dead skin cells while its rich mineral content helps balance your skin's natural oils. Additionally, its antimicrobial and detoxifying properties can soothe irritation and reduce breakouts.

Aloe soap provides deep hydration and lightweight moisture without stripping the skin of its natural oils. Its rich antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds help soothe irritation, fight acne, and support a balanced, youthful complexion for all skin types.

Charcoal soap acts like a magnet to deeply cleanse your pores, effectively absorbing excess oil and drawing out dirt. This powerful detoxifying action helps clear up blemishes, prevent acne, and gently exfoliate dead skin cells for a brighter, more balanced complexion

Solar System Inspired Soap:
Final cut from the Soap Embed presentation

Background:
The 4th annual Come Celebrate Lavender Conference was held in Wytheville last weekend. For the 3rd year I was honored to be asked to present on a topic--this year on artistic soap with embeds.

I truly enjoy making nurturing soap while incorporating local ingredients and optimizing skin benefits. Part of why this is such an enjoyable project for me is that I also get to make them "pretty".

During my presentation, we designed and made a solar system inspired soap. As a cold process soap, I was not able to cut the loaf that day and share our final product.

Here is the final slide of the presentation with the final product cut. Thank you to everyone who joined me.
