This is perfect for shaving, bathing or showering. The West Rose Cottage story began more than 85 years ago. That is when Blanche Swift began making soap in her back garden in Le esburg, Ohio. At that time she used an iron kettle over an open wood fire. She made soap from her own special recipes, using only the freshest homemade ingredients and lots of loving care.
Folks just couldn t get enough of that homemade soap.
Our grandmother, Hazel, sold the soap from door to door during the Great Depression of the 1930 s. The tradition is carried on today at West Rose Cottage by Blanche s great granddaughter. The soaps are still hand made, hand stirred, hand poured, hand cut, and cured in hand made wooden molds crafted by our family carpenter, Bob. We use only the natural oils of coconut, olive, and other vegetable based oils when we make our soap. We then mix in organic botanicals such as, herbs, ground oats, honey, and lavender flowers.
