Ren says: "I started soaping as a creative outlet and to explore uncommon ingredients that many haven’t heard of. I decided to combine my love of storytelling, the mountains, and folklore from around the world to serve as inspiration. The black soap, for example, represents Mt. Roan, located between TN and NC in the USA. Folklore tells of mysterious whispers or echoes atop the mountain. I personally have never heard of any, but who knows?! In the future, I will have a blog with more details about these mountains and their folk stories from countries in every continent."
"Here are my photo submissions. These were colored with a combo of red and yellow Brazilian clays to make orange; then, a nice black Brazilian clay, scented with an EO blend that includes rhododendron essential oil; and lastly, lavender EO with intense purple Brazilian clay and chamomile on top."
