The Essential Soap Bar

20/01/2026

I’m Abigayle, your wellness enthusiast for all things fitness and wellness! As a personal trainer, yoga teacher, exercise rehab specialist, and even a sound therapist, I’m on a mission to help you feel fabulous in every way possible.

I’m totally obsessed with natural living, think essential oils and zero waste goodies! What started as a fun side project has blossomed into my small business, The Essential Soap Bar. I created it to bring you healthy skincare options that ditch the nasties and focus on what’s good for you.

🌱 Essential oils are my jam! They boost your mood and elevate your well being. I’ve been using them in my yoga practice for years, and now they’re the secret ingredient in my handmade products. Sourced from the best parts of plants through steam distillation, these oils pack a powerful punch of goodness!

Why essential oils? Because they’re the real deal! Unlike synthetic fragrances, they come straight from nature, offering you both physical perks and mental clarity.

But wait, there’s more! Enhance your self care routine with my delightful shower steamers and luscious bath bombs that turn your bathroom into a spa oasis. Don’t forget to check out my soothing balms and weighted lavender and eucalyptus eye pillows, perfect for unwinding after a long day!

Check out my soap collection, featuring six fantastic blends with oatmeal and shea butter. Ready to elevate your self care game? Head over to my website and grab yours today!

Understanding the Value of Handmade Products

1. “I can find this cheaper elsewhere.”
While price comparisons with big retailers are common, they can overlook the true value of handmade goods. Each item reflects quality, craftsmanship, and local sourcing. Let’s celebrate the artistry behind these creations instead of just focusing on cost!

2. “I could make this myself.”
Having crafting skills is admirable, but this comment can unintentionally dismiss the makers hard work and creativity. Every artisan brings their unique touch and expertise to their products, which deserves our recognition and respect.

3. “That’s too expensive for a soap bar.”
Commenting on price without understanding the work involved can be seen as disrespectful. Handmade soaps often use high quality ingredients, undergo safety assessments, and require significant time and effort to produce. Let’s appreciate the value behind the price!
