People born under the sign of Libra are peaceful, fair, and strive to create equilibrium in all areas of life. Symbolized by the scales of balance, Libras are fascinated by balance and symmetry, and detest messiness and chaos.

The eternal quest for justice and balance in both life and death has been a human pursuit throughout all time and cultures. In Ancient Egypt, the feather was deeply intertwined with the concept of divine justice, especially through the feather of Ma'at, the goddess who personified truth, order, and balance. A deceased soul's worthiness of the afterlife was determined by weighing their heart on a scale against a feather. The feather, symbolizing the purity of the soul, dictated whether the individual had lived a just and moral life. A heart lighter than the feather granted the soul entry into eternal paradise; a heart heavy with guilt and wrongdoing led to the soul's annihilation. May you live in peace and harmony, and with a light heart!
Our signature Libra bars, stamped with the constellation, enjoy a vibrant palette of warm fall colors in a distinctive feather swirl pattern. Uplifting bergamot and lemon top notes are deftly balanced with the sweetly ethereal, resinous depth of white copal, a treasured resin used in rituals and ceremonies for purification and for carrying prayers to the divine. Patchouli and tonka ground this sophisticated, earthy scent.

Libra Artisan Botanical Soap
Handmade soaps need to breathe! We recommend storing your soap on a slatted or free draining soap dish so that it can air dry in between uses.
- Remove botanical toppings prior to use.
- Don't allow your soap to sit in a puddle of water.
- Use a wash cloth, loofah or soap saver bag to extend the life of your soap bar.
- Use your soap bar within one year of purchase. I know they're pretty to look at, but they're intended to be used so enjoy them! :)
- Store unused soap out of direct sunlight and away from extreme temperature fluctuations and high humidity conditions.
- You may experience colored lather with dark or brightly colored bars; however, no permanent staining should occur.
- Discontinue use if irritation occurs
- Soaps are for external use only & are not edible
