Subject: Thank you!
A friend of mine told me about your soaps and had my mother try Pacific Mist for
her Rosacia (sp). It worked so well that I tried it on my face. I have dermatitis
seborrhea. In 1 use the itching was gone and in 3 days all the flaking skin was
gone as well. I love natural products and try to use them as much as possible.
I am going to order some more of your soaps and salt scrubs.... could you recommend
some other formulas that would be good for me (or just smell good!)?
I also have a 2 year old who is part white and part black. She has eczema on her
arms and legs that get pretty itchy. The patches are leaving a lighter skin tone
when they clear up (new skin vs tanned skin) which I know will bother her when she
is older. I have talked to her doctor about them and he agrees with me about trying
natural products first before going for the Rx medicines. I do have a lotion that
is helping a little and she loves the smell of it (natural product but I forget
the name of it), but I think the soaps that we have tried so far are drying out
her skin and making things worse (mostly baby products). Is there any soap in
your collection that is better for her to try than others or is there anything that
can harm her at her age? Your soaps have helped me out and there is nothing like
them on the market around here, I hope that there is one that might help my daughter
as well!
Thank you for your time and for making a wonderful product!

We suggested Frankincense and Myrrh and/or Lamb Cakes for these particular situations...also
the baby soap Cygnet is a good choice too...all of these soaps are super fatted
with Castor oil in the first two and Sweet Almond Oil in the last one. B.K.B.

| Dear
Woodspirits,
Thank you so much for
the fabulous, amazing, healthful, luxurious, and
rare-in-this-day-and-age quality of your handcrafted
soaps. I’m also impressed that there is a guild for this
art.
Pacific Mist is an
extraordinary bar-totally effective for cleaning yet
therapy every time you use it.
I’ve just bought
Spirulina Groove and am look forward to the warming
effect of the Italian Bergamot and Mexican Marigold for
our Chicago winter.
I’ve let People’s
Market know how much I like your product.
Sincerely, D.W.,

Hello, my
name is "T.", I worked for a store in Akron long
ago that sold the Woodspirits line. Your products are
wonderful. No matter what new brands of
"handmade" soaps keep popping up everywhere,
yours are still my favorite not to mention the best. I
recently got "on line" and I am happy to see
that you’ve come out with colognes in all of my favorite
scents. None of the stores in my area sell the colognes
that I’ve noticed, so until now I did not know they
existed. Anyway it’s nice to see your company doing
well, and expanding the product line. Good luck in all
future endeavors.

| Greetings
from Colorado. I wanted to share our delight when your
products are in our home. We shop at Wild Oats in Aurora
for organic products; we often stop and look at the
Woodspirits soap beautiful and enticingly displayed on the
shelf. Given our income and the cost of each soap, $6-$7
per soap, our purchase comes occasionally and with
delight. Our favorite soap is Zanzibar and we have to
admit that bath time is always looked forward to when this
bar is awaiting us. We are cautious with this soap due to
it’s ability to dissolve if the shower head repeatedly
reaches it, therefore the higher it is on the bathroom
shelf, the longer it lasts. This soap is an experience in
itself and leaves a lingering fragrance that soothes the
spirit.
Anyway, we wanted you
to know that your work and your products are valued in our
home. And one day, we shall move past the Zanzibar on the
shelf to try the other beautiful products you offer.
Sincerely, A.P.,
Aurora, CO |

| To Woodspirits,
I am very interested
in ordering your products, but have a question about my
choice of soaps. Which soaps are appropriate for facial
use?
I have
combination skin with both dry and oily areas and am prone
to occasional
breakouts. What do you recommend? Thank you for your
assistance.

| Hello K. P.,
This is a question
we have from time to time and we love responding to it.
Our soaps are true soaps, not detergents, like almost
all solid bars on the market, even the "clear"
ones that call themselves glycerin soaps, when in fact
our soaps contain more glycerin than theirs....confusing
for the consumer isn't it. Latest news is that the
"clear guys" may be detergents too, a real
no-no for your skin.
Our soaps are rich in glycerin. You can see this by
simply pushing your finger against a corner of the bar
and seeing how soft it is. Most of our line is made with
coconut/olive oil base for the soap. Only a few bars,
Azteca, Marco Polo, and Amber are 100% olive oil, called
Castile soap for the region in Spain where olive trees
grow. This puts all of our soaps into the
"facial" category. IF you want to choose the
ones that are even richer in our line, and especially if
you have sensitive skin as you report, you may want to
choose either Frankincense and Myrrh, Cygnet, or Lamb
Cakes as they have extra oils added, Palmarosa Green
Clay is not "super fatted" as the others I
mentioned, but Palmarosa oils is used for acne and green
clay is very helpful in breakouts. Spirulina Groove
would be a nice choice as well. Incidentally, my
daughter who is newly married stopped by for the weekend
and stocked up on her favorite soap "Seaweed
Scrub" and said when she and her husband run out of
this soap, they tend to have breakouts too.
I hope this helps you choose. Incidentally, the Olive
oil soaps I mentioned are wonderful for your hair if
your water is not too hard. I use any and all of our
soaps to wash my hair as well, and it is very kind to my
scalp. Men love our Azteca Shampoo bar. With this one
product they can wash their body, their hair and shave
with it as well.
Good Luck
Barbara |
