soaptopia is THE new utopia for all things bath. a new line of bath time awesomeness whose mission statement for all their products is "B.A.T.H. (bathe in all things healthy) certified/junk-free" meaning everything is organic, handmade and incredibly awesome.
soaptopia creates all their products locally in small batches and in their words, everything is "freshy-fresh". they offer shea butter body balms, oils, salt scrubs, salt, soaks, lippies, bubble bath and about 24 different varieties of soap with names like "orange you glad honey", "staying alime", "pepper-lyptus rex" and "aloe be thy name".
soaptopia has also recently launched a line of soy based candles - which burn smoke free AND do double duty: the melted soy (once cooled a bit of course. or not. depending on your particular pain threshold) can be massaged into skin since they are formulated with shea butter, vitamin E, jojoba and essential oils.
the soaptopia staff is supa dupa friendly and encourage you to jump right in there and try EVERYTHING- with no pressure to buy. but guarantee, after trying a few of their products, you'll most definitely want to go home with something.
long weekend style has tried and fallen in love with soaptopia's gimmie lip lip balm made from all sorts of edible yumminess - shea and coco butters, beeswax, hempseed/carrot/avocado and macadamia nut oils, aloe vera, jojoba topped off with a dose of vitamin E. these lippies leave you with the most incredibly hydrated kisser and the flavors are delicious but no overpowering. our fav is the grapefruit alive - pink grapefruit in it's purest form.
the salt scrubs are fantastic and packed with even more goodness such as honey, an assortment of oils including sunflower, kukui nut and avocado, vitamin E, jojoba and of course, the star of the show, dead sea salts to buff your epidermis to a soft, fine sheen. again, the grapefruit is the big winner with the LWS staff but the lime/coconut, orange blossom, rozilla (a perfect blend of rose, rose geranium and madagascar vanilla) and of course, the always lulling lavender.
their oil slathers are super moisturizing and smell amazing, especially the lime/coconut, lavender, and rose scents.
soaptopia currently has 2 locations: one on venice blvd in los angeles and a 2nd in the newly remodeled, recently reopened westfield culver city mall as well as an online store: http://www.soaptopia.com/. they wrap up gifts tres beautifully and free, we might add - check their skillz on the featured pics. product prices range from $5 to $27.50 and each product is offered in 3 sizes for your sampling or stocking-up pleasure.
added plus: the soaptopia staff has recently started hosting weekend demos, showing just how their awesome soaps are made. and maybe if you're lucky, Koi from the culver city store will cut you a nice slab of freshly made soap to take home.
and in the words of soaptopia . . . truly love. love and be loved.
