Our By the Sea Soap Shoppe “Australian Eucalyptus" soap is one of your favourites. We love it too. We even find that if we have a bit of a cold, it clears up when we spend a bit of time labelling the soap!

    I was at a craft fair one time and a lady walked up and picked up the Eucalyptus soap with a bit of attitude (lol). She smelled it and almost seemed a bit startled and said, "Oh! It DOES smell like Australian Eucalyptus!" She was actually from Australia and was prepared to find that we had some kind of a fake, I guess. It was a bit funny.

    I have a daughter who travels a lot and she says "You always get sick when you travel. There are different germs and viruses in other places..."

    This is a great reason to take Australian Eucalyptus mini bars with you. It's pretty, smells wonderful, and it also has natural antibiotic, antiviral and antifungal properties. 

     And with castor oil and cocoa butter for extra moisturizing and lather, it's pampering. Perfect for a vacation, or to feel good while you're on your to work. 

     If you would enjoy the regular size bar, find it here.

Lye

     Some of you might be wondering, "Lye? Isn’t lye dangerous? Won’t it harm my skin?”

     First - all actual soap is made with lye. No lye, no soap. (A lot of "soap products" in the stores are actually detergent. If you look at the labels, they are not called "soap". They are called "hand wash" or "body cleanser" or some such thing.)

     This could become a chemistry lesson, but to make it short - soap is made from lye, fats and liquid. When the lye mixes with the fats and liquid, some kind of chemical reaction goes on, and the lye and fats change into soap and glycerin. In the process, the lye is all used up. Even though lye is used to make the soap, there is no lye left in the soap at all.

     This is why soap made with lye is not dangerous, and it definitely won’t hurt your skin.
