VERMONT SOAPWORKS INTRODUCES A
COMPLETE LINE OF NATURAL SOAP PRODUCTS

Handmade Soap is Good for Your Skin!

Middlebury, VT – Vermont Soapworks, the largest manufacturer of handmade natural bar soaps in North America, is proud to offer a complete line of natural soap products including Vermont Country Soap (bar soaps), Wash dem Veggies (a fruit and vegetable rinse), and Aloe Castile Liquid Soap and Liquid Sunshine (all purpose cleaners). Vermont Soapworks products provide consumers with natural alternatives to meet their personal care and cleaning needs and keep their skin softer, healthier and younger-looking.

Master Soapmakers create Vermont Country Soap the old-fashioned way. Natural ingredients are blended in small batches and poured into wooden block molds. When ready, the soap is wire cut into bars, placed on oak drying frames and aged in a special curing room for nearly a month. This 200 year old Master Soapmaker's process removes excess alkali from the bar soap, a major cause of dryness and irritation often found in conventional bar soaps.

Vermont Country Soap comes in more than a dozen aromatherapy blends, including: Oatmeal Lavender; Honey; Cinnamon Spice; Citrus Sunshine; Morning Mint; Shampoo Bar; Lemongrass; Rosemary Herb; Aloe Baby; and Tea Tree. Since these bar soaps come in a variety of formulas designed to address particular needs such as dry skin, shaving, scalp/dandruff, acne, and baby care, consumers are encouraged to match their skin type with the right blend on the company website at www.vermontsoap.com.

Vermont Soapworks also offers a line of Premium Bar Soaps including Vanilla & Organic Oats, Patchouli Hemp and Rose Geranium. Vermont Soapworks is a full-service provider of natural bar soaps and can accommodate custom orders in any size, shape, color, texture and scent you can imagine. To assist retailers, Vermont Soapworks offers an appealing crate display with the top-ten best selling varieties. Their bar soaps last longer than most conventional soap and are very competitively priced.

Vermont Soapworks Aloe Castile Liquid Soaps and Liquid Sunshine Nontoxic Cleaner are versatile, all purpose cleaning products that can be used for laundry, dishes, appliances, bathrooms, carpets, stains, woodwork, floors and virtually any other water-safe surface. Most importantly, these liquid soaps are safe and effective to use on the hands and body, and are even a great shampoo for oily hair. Castile soaps were developed 300 years ago in "La Castilia" region of Spain by Master Soapmakers that brewed natural liquid soaps from a mixture of olive and coconut oils and herbs. The Master Soapmakers at Vermont Soapworks follow this tradition to bring you handcrafted soaps that are all-natural and good for your skin. Aloe Castile and Liquid Sunshine are of special benefit to chemically sensitive and immune system impaired individuals who often react to laundry, dish and other common detergents.

Federal Health officials insist that you should eat no fewer than five servings of fruit and vegetables per day. In response to harmful residues often found on your favorite fruits and vegetables, Vermont Soapworks offers Wash dem Veggies, an all-natural produce rinse to make consumption of these healthy foods safe and taste better. In one of the most comprehensive studies ever undertaken of pesticide residues on fruits and vegetables, Consumer Reports found that even a single serving of some produce can deliver unsafe levels of toxic pesticide residues for young children. The health experts at Consumer Reports believe that consumers should not avoid serving fresh produce. Rather, they recommend that consumers carefully rinse their produce. Rinsing with water alone will not rid produce of harmful residues. That is why Wash dem Veggies should be your first line of defense against these unwanted contaminants. Unlike many other produce washes on the market today, Wash dem Veggies is completely natural.

Vermont Soapworks products are made from all-natural renewable vegetable and botanical sources such as: saponified oils of palm, coconut, and olive; liquid aloe; and essential oils in aromatherapy blends. Rosemary extract is used as a natural preservative. Vermont Soapworks products are extraordinarily mild and moisturizing, hypoallergenic and good for your skin! All of their products are free of artificial colors, fragrances, preservatives, and animal by-products and they are not tested on animals.

These environmentally-friendly products are sold in health food, gourmet and specialty stores nationwide. For more information on these remarkable personal care and cleaning products, consumers can visit the company website at www.vermontsoap.com or call Vermont Soapworks directly at 802-388-4302.
