Soap – Forest For The Trees – Art Soap, Petrichor, Stewardship – 2 sizes

This multi-sensory soap was made during an artist residency at Touchstone Center for Crafts, using unconventional materials for aroma formulation, using invasive plants for colorant, handmade embed and embossing molds, making a hydrosol and herbal extract. It was a wonderful experience to explore these materials freely, listen more deeply to nature, advocate for native plant restoration, and be receptive to change and movement.

The moody, forest petrichor aroma lingers, while the moisturizing lather lasts all day. As with most of our products, this botanical representation in an everyday consumer product is designed to spark meaningful thought and conversation about our ephemeral moment with the environment.

Our ecosystem relies on the intersection of sun and shade; clay and moss; inertia and inspiration. This design features a handcut linoleum transfer, botanically illustrate the native Eastern Hemlock leaves, and depict flowing water at the bottom of each bar.
