A more serious soap.
Cook as the French do, and clean as the French do. This is a take on the traditional Savon De Marseille soaps -- these huge chunks of soap are intended to be left on the counter and just rubbed to pick up soap, rather than picking it up and using it the way you would a traditional bar of soap.

Beehive Alchemy
Milwaukee, WI
When these small scale beekeepers in Wisconsin aren't making artisanal raw honey, they're pouring the sweet stuff into their own line of natural body products and home goods. The other ingredients, like oils and scents, are all sourced sustainably, and whenever possible, locally. We can't help but be abuzz with telling everyone how great they are.

Not Good for Dishes
It smells and looks great, and is lovely on the hands, however, it left some kind of weird film on all my dishes. I had to go over all the dishes with regular dish detergent and they were fine. Really wanted to love it, but at that price point, has to do much more than clean my hands.
Great product
This soap smells really great, and super easy to use when put next to the sink to just rub your hands on it!
