Simple Things

July 5, 2014 by still a dreamer

Living simply is nice. And being able to enjoy a few simply made items of wonderful quality is also quite nice. Today I’m talking about soap. Not that long ago I discovered that the small place where I often buy my coffee was now carrying these gorgeous soaps made of pure ingredients. I first purchased the Apple Crisp, a mouthwatering aroma to be sure. I’ve purchased a bar or two as gifts here and there, and enjoy sampling some of the other scents myself.

While they may initially seem price-y as soaps may go, (and I mean compared to the commercially made/mega-corporation produced soaps in the supermarket), considering the quality of the ingredients and how long they last, they’re really not that costly at all. They are solid and a good chunk in size. The other day I treated myself to an Almond Goat Milk bar and an Apple Crisp, as I was just about out of soap in kitchen and bath.

I decided to visit the maker’s website – their name is  SallyeAnder, located in a small town in upstate New York near Lake Ontario. The soaps were originally formulated in response to a family member’s allergies, so here is their promise – they:

  • Always use olive oil or soy as our base
  • Always use pure, edible ingredients
  • Always formulate with the finest essential oils
  • Never cut corners with our recipes or ingredients
  • Never use coconut or palm oils
  • Never test on animals
  • Never use parabens, alcohols, sodium laurel sulfates, artifical dies, synthetic chemicals, or foaming agents

HandmadeSoap-SallyeAnderB2Everything the mainstream soaps are not, plus they smell simply heavenly.

All their soaps are listed on their website, but what I did find is their web prices are significantly higher than what I paid at the local shop, so if interested, you may want to check out the dealer locater on the SallyeAnder home page for a place that carries them near you. So once again, I promise I am not a shill for anybody, just grateful when I find pure, simple and healthful products that also please the senses, and am sharing my small good fortune with those of you who are of a like mind.

    they sound yummy enough to eat! My only concern is soy…nearly all of it here in US is GMO…

      That is always a concern of mine as well … I would like to think that they use non-GMO soy. Maybe I’ll shoot them an inquiry.
      I recently read about the use of hexane in veggie burgers – used in processing the soy – and THAT started me on an exploration as well. Found a site that sorts it out, but they were wrong in one – maybe more – cases. (I e-mailed the veggie burger mfr., too!) I’ll probably do a post on that down the line, too. So many people look to veggie burgers nowadays as a quick, nutritious source of protein.

    I love the way these ‘simple’ soaps last so much longer than the mass produced variety.
