Spice up your fall with our Orange Spice soaps

I came up with the idea for our “Orange Spice Goat Milk Soap” last year when I tried my friend, September’s, “Raw Pumpkin Pie.”  How could she make a pumpkin pie with no pumpkin, nonetheless sugar, eggs or creme?  She used:

• Carrot Juice to make it colored orange,
• Soaked Cashews, Coconut Oil and non-GMO Lecithin to make it creamy
• Blue Agave Nectar to make it sweet,
• and, of course, spices like Cinnamon, Clove and Nutmeg to give it that spicy flavor.

This got me thinking … How could I make a soap that smelled and looked like pumpkin pie without using artificial fragrances or colorants like so many other soaps?  So, with September’s creative genius in mind, I developed our “Orange Spice Goat Milk Soap” using:

• Annatto and Paprika to make it orange,
  
• Cocoa butter (in addition to our Fair Trade shea butter) to make it creamy,
• Orange and Roman Chamomile essential oils to make it sweet,
• Peru Balsam essential oil to bring out that warm, Vanilla-like feel,
• and essential oils of Cinnamon and Clove to give it that spicy kick!

Now, the whole Chivas team loves this soap!  It has such a strong scent that screams fall!  And the color is so pretty with the texture of the annatto and paprika popping through.  We offer “Orange Spice” as a bar soap, a decorative three-pack, and in the shape of a pumpkin!  (We actually made this mold from a baby pumpkin from our farm, so it’s very close to our hearts).  I think any of these shapes and sizes would be great either as a hand soap by your kitchen sink or as thoughtful hostess gift this Halloween or Thanksgiving!
