Fragrant South of France® Natural Body Care soap bars and liquid hand soaps—unlike most common cleansing brands—contain no chemicals or animal by-products. Free of synthetic foaming agents, they nonetheless produce a rich and creamy lather and rinse clean to leave skin fresh and feeling moisturized. The fragrances will transport you to lavender fields or verbena-infused lemon groves in the south of France or to more exotic shores from which Shea Butter and Green Tea originate. Health-conscious and green-conscious friends on your list will thank you for the wholesome simplicity. 

Consider natural soap gifts for significant others, hosts and hostesses, co-workers, friends and families. You can be as creative as you like with containers, from baskets, to gift bags, to customizable craft items like a miniature suitcase, a local potter's bowl or a decorative Christmas stocking. Or you can keep it as simple as three bars in kraft paper bound in colorful ribbon.  

Save a few extra bars to prepare for guests. An unwrapped bar of soap creates an unexpected touch of scent for a dresser drawer or coat closet. Place fragrant soap in the guest room, kitchen and guest baths to infuse each room with fragrance. Both you and your guests will appreciate the soothing and relaxing scents.
