Phome 6 oz. Bar Soap

Phome: Rose Geranium, Rosewood, Palmarosa, and Sandalwood [EO] Ultramarine Blue [P] Tapioca pearls for texture. This is indulgent and a lot of fun. The swirls of blue and white are a cloud streaked sky, with white tapioca balls for massaging your soles!

This is a great family story! My daughter Emily was 17, and my office manager Rick (the boy next door) was 19 when they wanted to be a part of the creation process in our young soap company. Emily suggested they create a soap. With clipboard in hand they descended into the basement soap room, emerging hours later with their design.
"It will be called ‘Phome’ she began, "and will be blue with white bubbles on top!" We were in the kitchen at the time and I knew there were real problems with this design. At that point I had not made a blue soap, and how would we possibly create the white bubbles? Also in the kitchen during this design dilemma was the youngest in the family, Alex then about 12, who constantly orbited around Rick and Emily. When the white bubbles idea was shot down by an incredulous me saying, "How would you get white bubbles?" Alex interjected,"Tapioca!"
We were all dumbstruck. Luckily, I being an old fashioned cook, we all loved Tapioca pudding; it was a staple in our kitchen! We had our white bubbles! Of course it worked beautifully with the blue I eventually found through the kindness of Paul Penders, whose body care company was using safe clay based ultramarines for their cosmetics. With the addition of Jeanne Rose’s skill with essential oil blending, "Phome" was created and it was a hit. Thanks to their creativity we all have Phome to enjoy with its soft warm woody tones in its blend of Rosewood, Sandalwood, Rose Geranium, and Palmarosa. I still love to tickle the soles of my feet with those pearly bubbles!
