Not only is this soap produced locally and ethically, it's quite wonderful. From the cool variety of thoughtful colors to the carefully selected scent combinations, I've almost never been disappointed. Bamboo Detox and Orange Vanilla are a couple of my favorite scents, but there are plenty more from which to choose. My wife is a subscriber of the "soap of the month" club, so we've tried a variety and are always excited to see what's next to try. Highly recommended.
