Booda Soap Box - Opening Day!

Mmmm ... I don't know which I like better - The way Booda Soap Box soaps smell or they way they look? Colorful, beautiful and all natural, these soaps will stay with you - body, mind and soul.

All of Booda Soap Box soaps are handcrafted using the centuries-old cold-process method. Unlike mass-produced soaps, cold-process soap retains its natural, skin-softening qualities. Each batch is hand-cut and cured for four – six weeks to ensure gentleness.

And did we mention how good they smell? They smell so good.

See for yourself THIS WEDNESDAY, July 16th from 11AM-2PM.
