Getting to Know My Products..........



All of my products have short descriptions about each one on my website www.heidisartisansoap.com.  I would like to go a little further with each one and explain why you might like or need anyone in particular.  So, I will start with:

Lavender Dreams - This is by far one of my favorite bars. You will find this one in my shower at all times! If I had a "spa" line, this one would be right at the top. It is so sudsy and creamy I feel truly pampered after I use it.  It has lavender flowers throughout the bar, but it is NOT an exfoliant bar at all. I also scatter lavender flowers on top of the bar right after I make it which add to the fabulous lavender scent the bar has. This bar is for those days where pampering is definitely needed! (Which I think we all deserve everyday!)

Rosemary Peppermint w/Green Tea - This bar has a light exfoliant texture to it that is made with the green tea leaves.  The uplifting scent is great for day or night.  Even though is does have a slight exfoliant texture, this bar is also very sudsy and creamy.  It has a very organic smell with equal notes of Rosemary and Peppermint.  

Orange Mocha Espresso Bar - I LOVE the smell of this bar.  This one is a true exfoliant bar.  It is great to slough away dry skin. It is also very creamy and sudsy. The sweet orange essential oil combined with the cocoa butter makes this bar close to my nose every time I use it or am around it! It is very conditioning with the cocoa butter and shea butter.  I could almost call it a double butter bar. We keep this bar at our kitchen sink also.  The exfoliant in the bar is coffee!  My husband uses it after working in the garage, I use it after cutting onions or garlic and the after effect is super clean smelling hands! A great bar for the hubby after working or whatever he might be doing to make his hands grimy.  This bar cleans great.

Cedarwood Lavender - This bar has a very soft woodsy scent.  The lavender is a great combination with the Cedarwood.  I love the smell of this bar, but my husband and boys like it just as well. This is made with the same great oils and butters as my favorite Lavender Dreams. 

Lemon Delight - If you love the smell of lemon, you will go crazy about this bar.  It also has french green clay swirled throughout the bar.  French green clay is great for your skin.  It draws out impurities and leaves you feeling soft and clean. Because of the artisan nature of our hand made soaps, we are continually working to create different looks of our product.  This one may be a little different next time you order it!

Morning Mist - This soap is great for anytime!  Who doesn't love the smell of spearmint? This bar has the same great base recipe as my other soaps.  It is very creamy and sudsy but never leaves  your skin feeling dry.  Spearmint is known to help elevate moods.  So, why wouldn't you want to use this one every time you shower or even wash your hands?! When I walk downstairs to where all my soaps cure, this is usually the first scent I pick up when I come into the room they are all in.  Love this one!  As the bar above, this one may be a little different next time you order it!

Olive Oil Face Bar - This has been one of my best selling soaps over the past few weeks.  It is 72% olive oil.  It also contains French Green Clay. This bar leaves your face feeling fantastic. The olive oil is not greasy at all, but leaves your skin feeling extremely soft and moisturized.  The french green clay draws out impurities.  I have had several people claiming how much better their skin feels. This bar nourishes the skin along with cleaning it, but never dries or irritates the skin. Give it a try, you won't be sorry!

Pure Face and Body Bar - This is my most pure bar that I make.  The ingredients are 72% olive oil, coconut oil, shea butter, and castor oil.  It is unscented.  When I first made the bar I was going to use it as another face bar. I think that would be selling the bar short if I did that.  There are many people who don't like scented bars or can't use them on their skin for one reason or another.  Also, I wondered what in the world people use on babies now a days? There is not one ingredient in this bar that will harm or irritate your skin.  

I just wanted to thank all of you who have supported me.  It's only been two months and I am overwhelmed with the positive feedback and response I have received.  I can't wait to see what the future holds for Heidi's Artisan Soap!

FUNDRAISING with Heidi's Artisan Soap!







As a mother of 3 grown children who were all involved in some sport or activity, I can remember the endless requests for sign up fees, team fees, uniform fees, equipment costs, travel cost, etc, etc, etc!!!!


The cost and expense of our kids activities were staggering. (Don't even get me started on travel baseball!) I always wondered why not have a fundraiser for my child's costs? We were given the traditional, sell the candy or cash out and pay the team $50. Or better yet, go bug the poor local business for a sponsorship to help reduce your fees. (That poor business was probably so tired of the same plea for support....) Sometimes we were not even given the opportunity to do fundraising for the sign up fees and just had to write the check. There were so many sports seasons where I wondered where would we get the money??

So.... This is why we decided to set up a fundraising program for individuals at Heidi's Artisan Soap. We believe that this is an easy program and the products will sell themselves. Who doesn't need a bar of luxurious, hand crafted soap! Or a mini spa day at home with a Sea Salt Scrub followed by the silky finish of a lotion bar! Your son may be reading this over your shoulder and saying no way am I saying that! But you can just look at him and say, moms get it and they will want to buy this...

We make this easy to start and easy to sell. We will provide a customized full color product sheet that shows all of the soaps, lotions and scrubs as well as a brief description of each item. Just fill in the order form and collect the money. It is that easy! Once we receive the order back from you, we will make the product and have it back to you in just a few weeks.

This is a great way to help reduce the costs and expenses of your children's activities. It works with sports fees, band fees, cheerleading fees, equipment costs, summer camps, youth group trips and the list goes on. 

It is our hope that we can provide a great program and great product that can help families lighten the load and reduce the financial stress of your child's activities.

details and to learn how easy it is to get started!
