Hey soap enthusiasts and eco-champions! As we reminisce about the frothy journey at Soapcycle throughout 2023, co-founders Honna Brown and Brittany Johnson are excited to share our favorite Soapcycle moments and our personal picks from the past year. Get ready for a sudsy blend of memories and favorites!
Soapcycling 101: A Sudsy Revolution
In 2023, Soapcycling became more than a process—it became a lifestyle, and we’re thrilled to be at the forefront of this sudsy revolution. Soapcycling is not just about crafting soap; it’s a verb, a noun, and a community shaping the future of wellness and sustainability.
Soapcycle Scent-sation:
In our quest for the perfect scent, two fragrances emerged victorious, adding a delightful twist to our sudsy journey.
- Honna’s Favorite – Orange Patchouli: Honna, our fragrance maestro, swears by the invigorating blend of orange patchouli. The citrusy freshness combined with the earthy notes creates a soap fragrance that’s an absolute treat for the senses.
- Brittany’s Pick – Night Violet: On the other side of the fragrance spectrum, Brittany opted for the enchanting aroma of night violet. Imagine a soap that captures the essence of a moonlit garden—subtle, mysterious, and utterly captivating.
You can check out all our current fragrences in our store.
