Fragrant South of France® Natural Body Care soap bars and liquid hand soaps—unlike most common cleansing brands—contain no chemicals or animal by-products. Free of synthetic foaming agents, they nonetheless produce a rich and creamy lather and rinse clean to leave skin fresh and feeling moisturized. The fragrances will transport you to lavender fields or verbena-infused lemon groves in the south of France or to more exotic shores from which Shea Butter and Green Tea originate. Health-conscious and green-conscious friends on your list will thank you for the wholesome simplicity. 

Consider natural soap gifts for significant others, hosts and hostesses, co-workers, friends and families. You can be as creative as you like with containers, from baskets, to gift bags, to customizable craft items like a miniature suitcase, a local potter's bowl or a decorative Christmas stocking. Or you can keep it as simple as three bars in kraft paper bound in colorful ribbon.  

Save a few extra bars to prepare for guests. An unwrapped bar of soap creates an unexpected touch of scent for a dresser drawer or coat closet.
