PELLE Designs' Soap Stones are beautifully handcrafted glycerine soaps intended for display and use. These 100% natural vegetable-based soaps are made and hand-cut in PELLE Designs' Brooklyn studio.
The soaps combine luminous rose, aqua, jade and other exotic nature-inspired hues with the refreshing fragrances of essential oils such as eucalyptus and camphor. The Soap Stones are offered in three sizes and seven color/scent combinations.
The small 'nugget' Soap Stones sell for $9, the medium sized 'stones' for $17.59 and the large 'rocks' for $35. The different color/scent combinations include Citrine/Lemon/Basil, Rose Quartz/Grapefruit, Aquamarine/Camphor and an unscented crystal offering. Regardless of which soap you may opt to try out, there's no question that PELLE Designs' Soap Stones will make you question ever picking up a plain white bar of soap again.
