New All Natural Fall Soaps
Such a treat! New fall all natural soaps to enjoy. I’m sharing all about them today! And a little something new I’m working on!
Hello sweet friends!
Is it fall yet?? Yes, it is!! Woohoo!
Thankfully, we’ve had a day or 3 that felt like fall, even if it’s not here to stay just yet. But who cares, I have fall decor, fall scents, and now, fall soaps. I got busy and made a few “fall-themed” soaps, and I’m putting them up in my new shop, “The Artsy Botanical”(linked further down below), in case you’re interested.
Recently, I shared about soapmaking here: Cold Process Soapmaking (and back in 2013 I gave even more history on my love of soapmaking, if you’d like to read) Natural Soapmaking – A Tutorial In Photos
Today, I thought I’d share a few pictures of the new fall soaps and a little something I’m thinking about doing. Something new that I would love to know if you’d be interested in. I won’t say too much here; I’ll share a little more below, along with a survey at the end of this post. Please respond and let me know if you’d like this!
New All Natural Fall Soaps
The recipe varies a bit, but all of these include Olive oil, Coconut oil, Avocado oil, Shea butter, and Cocoa butter. They are SO decadent! As mentioned, they also include 100% natural essential oils and 100% natural colorants.
First up, Autumn Woods:
This one has essential oils of Tangerine, Orange, Cedarwood, Vetiver, Benzoin (a natural resin that has a vanilla-like scent), among others. Topped with Calendula petals. Colored green with French Green Clay. It smells delicious.
Pumpkin Pie Spice:
Pumpkin Pie Spice will get you ready for the fall for sure. It has essential oils of Orange, Benzoin, Copaiba, Cinnamon, Clove, and Ginger. Ground Vanilla Beans throughout the soap batter and a sprinkle of Cinnamon and Clove on top.
Harvest Cider:
This smells so good. Juicy, sweet cider with essential oils of Orange, Litsea Cubeba, Fir, Cedarwood, Patchouli, and Cinnamon. Naturally colored with Paprika, Orange Peel powder, and Annatto Seed powder. A sprinkle of Cinnamon on top finishes it off.
And lastly, Cozy Cashmere:
The most decadent of the bunch. Loaded with Cocoa butter, which gives it some of its natural scent, along with essential oils of Vetiver, Palmarosa, Cocoa Absolute, and Tonka, among others. This one is loaded with ground Vanilla Beans and also sprinkled a few on top.
I really, really wish you had smell-o-vision. lol I cannot tell you how many times I walk by my soaps curing, pick them up, and sniff them. haha! My little pretties. They make the room they are in smell amazing, too!
I will have these in my new shop for sale very soon!

Okay, so, I’d love your input on something new I’ve been dreaming up!
The Artsy Botanical “Society” will be a club membership that lets you enjoy a brand-new box of goodies each month. The box will include a natural soap (or two), another natural body care product (such as lotion, body butter, etc.), maybe a natural home fragrance product, and/or a small natural perfume blend I make. Different items every month! It will also include one or two other items, but I don’t want to reveal too much right now; I’m mostly checking interest.
Each month, the box will explore a different essential oil. Botanical Edition No. 001, Botanical Edition No. 002, and so on.
Every product in the box will include that oil, plus you’ll receive a card with info on how to use it, history, benefits, etc. It will be a great (and fun) way to learn about essential oils!
I’m very much getting “back to my roots” with this venture, and I’m quite excited about it. I’ve been planning, researching, and working on this for a while, and so excited to finally share it. I’ve put together my list, and right now I have over 4 years’ worth of essential oils to share with you. (That’s 48+ different oils!) And there are many more.
So, what do you think??
Can you answer this survey for me?
Any other ideas for this? Send me a note by email or let me know in the comments below!

Thank you!!
Also, another new development.
Besides the “Society” monthly box I asked you about above, I’m also opening a new shop, “The Artsy Botanical“, and it will have soaps and some of the other items that I make there. You’ll be able to shop for different items from the box. I’ll still have limited paint supplies in both my ACR shop and my Etsy shop (they are mirrored shops with the same items; shop whichever you prefer).
This will be the “new” shop.
The Facebook page for this new venture is here: The Artsy Botanical
The Instagram page is here: The Artsy Botanical
Both are brand-spanking new! No followers and all! ha! I would love it if you could hop over and follow both to give them a jumpstart. It’s so hard to grow social media these days. I’m brave to start a new venture, haha!! I’ll be posting on both soon and planning to share short reels and such of the soapmaking process…and whatever else I do/make.
I’ve also been working on the brand-new shop. There are a few more tweaks and such, but I think it’s good to go. It’s LIVE as of today, so hop over and check it out here: The Artsy Botanical. Let me know if you run into any issues over there!
Keep in mind that it will start with soaps, and I will add to it as I add products. (Other natural products like body butters, creams, home fragrance, perfumes, etc.)
I hope you all have an amazing fall weekend, friends. Thank you again for chiming in on the survey. I very much appreciate it!
xoxo
