Natural, Handcrafted Soap for sale

Justin and Anna from Richmond

Hi! My name is Laura:-)
I homeschool along with my four siblings, and have been making soap for a few years now.
At the moment, I am selling Charcoal + Lavender soap, and Lavender soap. As the document says, the blocks are $4 each, unless they are in a hand-written gift bag, which is $6.
Sometime soon, I will probably make a batch of Lemongrass soap, which would be sold for the same prices.
Here is a little blurb about the benefits of lavender and charcoal:

LAVENDER
Gently cleanses the skin without stripping it of moisture, allowing its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties to combat pimples and skin irritation. These properties also make lavender soap useful in treating skin infections, scabies, and eczema.

CHARCOAL
Helps absorb excess oil.
Helps prevent breakouts.
Tightens pores.
Makes skin firmer.
Exfoliates skin.
Brightens complexion.
Exfoliates dry, dead skin that can lead to flakes and dandruff.
Deeply cleans.
