Elegant Rose Boutique has a great collection of handmade soap made from natural essential oils that smell like a fresh stroll through the woods on a crisp autumn day.

Made from a unique blend of essential oils and butters, the product is made using a method of soap-making called the cold process method. All of the Elegant Rose Boutique soaps are made without any animal oils or petroleum or mineral oil products. Instead, a combination of moisturizing butters and oils that are great for your skin and that help protect it are used. Some of the ingredients used include: olive oil, coconut oil, organic palm oil and shea butter.

Shop owner Melissa from Howell, Michigan also makes a myriad of other handmade soap products and sells them on her online [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arcade-clock) shop.
