Callahan Creek Retail Road Trip

“It all starts with making a great product. Once you have that, the rest is easy. Just tell the truth about what you sell and show your passion for serving your customers. Loving your product and loving your customers. What a refreshingly common-sensical approach to business.”

Mysteriously Worn & More!

“Okay, so when I find something I really, really like a LOT... I want to share it with you. And... I have found some wonderful all natural, totally unbelievable, smelling soap!

I ordered the sample pack and will certainly be ordering MORE... AND the owners are so sweet to speak to and my order arrived just like it looks on their website... and oh the smells... wonderful!

If you have never tried Herbaria soap or any of their other products... You OWE it to YOURSELF to do so. This is NOT a paid endorsement; I just happen to love a good product and want to share with my friends :)

Happy Soaping!”

“I highly recommend you check out Herbaria, a little soap company on The Hill where scents of lavender and peppermint win the sensory battle of a ten foot section of the charming streets, leaving you clammering to get into the door for a better whiff...The cool thing is, they give tours of how everything is made and are completely welcoming....I love that every product is made independently and free of chemicals—we're talking pure vegetable goodness here...This isn't just any soap, people.”

“Wowee Kazowee! I am in love. Upon entering the store my senses were greeted by a bouquet of fruit, flowers, spices and herbs. It was just the pick me up I needed on a cold, grey December afternoon.

So check out my new favorite, Herbaria. I hope it becomes one of yours too.”

“The soaps smell grand and leave a light scent on your skin. I had no breakouts, dry skin or adverse reactions (nor did my friends who I’ve had try the soaps). The Eucalyptus Mint is extra nice when you’ve got a case of the winter snifflies. And the Jojoba Shampoo bar is unbelievable for shaving, washing, and even washing my hair! I’ve used a few shampoo bars and they’ve always left my fine hair as stiff as straw; the Herbaria Jojoba bar left my hair soft and very manageable, not stripped.”

“This is the best soap out there, especially if you have sensitive skin… I have tried many of the soaps and have loved them all. I am scent sensitive, but with these quality soaps you don't have to worry. They are made with high quality essential oils. They are great for acne and other skin problems. Give them a try and you won't go back to store bought soap. For pets with allergies, the Pennyroyal Pet soap is a godsend. It is non irritating and easier to use then liquid pet shampoo. I have also tried the Jojoba shampoo soap and this is great if you are traveling or like backpacking because you can use this on your entire body including hair and also for shaving. Try it and you'll be hooked too. If kept out of direct water each bar last much longer than any other store bought soap.”

“These soaps are some of the only soaps I've been able to find which do not irritate my skin and smell excellent. The soaps are made from (truly) all-natural ingredients; they do not contain detergents or skin-irritants, but rather, beneficial oils for moisture and aromatherapy. I've tried 10 or 12 of the soaps, and have been pleased with them all. I've been especially pleased with the 'biotherapy skincare' bar. It's become my all-time HG facial soap. It's the first soap that's actually removed the redness and ruddiness from the sensitive skin on my face. Plus, it cleared up some hormonal breakouts. Pretty amazing stuff…The TAT and CS are fantastic, personalized, and are the best, hands-down, of any e-tailer I've dealt with thus yet. I highly, highly recommend this company and their soap!!!”

“I love this soap! They are all natural, and they come in bars. Herbaria uses essential oils for fragrances, and they also use oils like jojoba and/or shea butter for moisturization. The soaps produce a silky, fragrant lather, and there are tons of scents to choose from. Here are just a few examples: almond green tea, italian bergamot, may chang (smells lemony and sweet), island spice, chocolate, tea tree, black forest chamomile...the list is long and varied…The customer service is very personalized and great! I HIGHLY recommend it, especially if you like all natural products...and why wouldn't you?”

A Charmed Life

“I found some tempting handmade soap at Herbaria and decided to order a couple of bars. I'm intrigued with the idea of soap that doesn't contain any harsh chemicals...or words that I can't pronounce for that matter! My two perfectly square, amazingly aromatic bars arrived today and I quickly opened the Citrus Oatmeal. What a nice surprise! The soap made my hands feel super soft, with just a little fragrance. I also ordered Lavender Oatmeal and I can't wait to try that one!”

Yelp

“Hi, my name is Frau A., and I'm an Herbaria Soap addict.”

“Herbaria soaps are all-natural, cruelty free and made with food-grade vegetable oils. (That's right moms and dads, you can wash your kids' mouths out with soap and feel good about it.) Their lather gives new meaning to the word luxurious, and they don't irritate even the most sensitive skins. My stepdaddy, who has contact dermatitis, is addicted, as is the spousal unit, who since he's found Herbaria soap calls himself the less-greasy guinea from New Joisey. As for myself—I won't stop until I've got the Herbaria monkey on all of my friends' and family's backs.”

“Natural products like Herbaria are perfect for the whole family. Herbaria makes a great soap and lotion that will keep the bugs off without pesticides or anything absorbing into your system. They’re just clean, natural products made of herbs, spices and other natural items.”

Vegan Beauty

“Ladies and germs, and genuine germy germs, I introduce you to Herbaria Soaps. Herbaria soaps come in many fancy flavorful scents however I do not recommend you taste them as tempting as they might sound (i.e. Chocolate Mint Cobblestone) as they are for olfactory pleasure and obviously not for the taste buds. :)

Herbaria soaps are completely vegan (yay!) and are made with olive, hemp seed and avocado oils and complemented with shea butter - the perfect ingredients to leave your skin super duper smooth and soft. All of their soaps are scented with natural essential oils from sustainable plants and flowers.”

Mythbuster Beauty

“When the package of soaps arrived at my door, my kids wanted to sniff and try each of them. The Sassafras Birch was the clear favorite. Sarah and Naomi both loved its sweet and warm root beer scent!

I personally love how nicely the soaps lather and clean without stripping my skin. My favorite has been the Almond Green Tea bar which feels nourishing, has a smooth texture, and is a sensual soap to use. This soap left my skin feeling smooth and smelling delicious!”

Tales from Echo Canyon

“If you are looking for a wonderful gift that keeps on giving, I highly recommend LaRee and Ken's Herbaria Soap. You just can't go wrong. And they got great holiday season deals right now, so toddle over. And your friends and relatives will thank you... gift certificates allow them to pick their special soap and fragrance, too.”

The Soap Bar

“The peacefulness of this bar of soap was so pleasant, it made me not want to leave the shower. For the last week, I have been showering until the hot water is all used up. I know I should be conserving water, but I really couldn't help it. It was like I was under some sort of spell. The smoothness of the bar slid effortless over my skin, the lather....full bodied and perfect for drifting in and out of mindless daydreaming and even better for shaving. The Almond Green Tea was a true delight for both the skin and the senses. Green tea, to begin with, has a calming effect on me, and then throw in an almond scent and you have a very calm bar.... maybe that's what I would have called it: CALM BAR, although people might read it as clam bar. No, no no good. mells nothing like clams :)”

“Try this soap! If you love herbs and scents it is really special.”
