Etsy Review: Lippincott Soap Co.

This is another in my reviews of sellers and products that I have purchased from the handcrafters on Etsy.com. I was looking for a birthday gift for my Grandfather. He is suffering from a lot of pain related to his back as well as arthritis. I wanted a gift that was useful, but not so practical as to feel uncelebratory. After doing some research on line I found a very good back washing tool for people with similar problems to what Granddad was dealing with. So I decided to get him that as well as some good and luxurious soaps to use with it. The problem with that of course is that most rich and moisturizing soaps are very feminine in there scents and colors. As usual Etsy came through and I found two soaps from Lippincott Soap Co. that were just what I was looking for.

Pumpkin Apple Butter and Orange Clove.

 Beautifully packaged and wonderfully scented these soaps were rich without being "girly."


Both were cold process soaps which the seller tells you "is made with skin-nourishing olive, coconut, palm and canola oils. We've 'superfatted' it with shea butter for that extra boost of moisture. There's even a little castor oil for those great, luxurious bubbles."
 
  They arrived quickly and were carefully packaged. The seller also included a sample of one of there other soaps with I thoroughly enjoyed. So though I did not use either of the bars I purchased I can speak to the quality of their "Christmas Pine" soap. It was a firm soap with a pleasant green color. It had a slightly waxy texture and a strong fresh evergreen scent that filled the bathroom. It lathered well, and rinsed of cleanly, and the scent lingered on the skin. If you are interested in this soap they are not selling the it as it was a seasonal but they do have an other which they say is very similar. Evergreen Soap Bar

All in all they make a very good product and I would recommend them.
