Welcome to the dog days of summer! This quirky phrase means a lot more than just a reference to the hot and humid peak of summer. This period of sweltering weather coincides with the year’s heliacal (meaning “at sunrise”) rising of Sirius, the Dog Star. Sirius is part of the constellation Canis Major—the “Greater Dog”—which is where Sirius gets its canine nickname, as well as its official name, Alpha Canis Majoris. Sirius is the brightest star in the sky, not including our own Sun. The name “Sirius” even stems from the Ancient Greek seírios, meaning “scorching.”
Of course, as dog lovers we wanted this soap to represent our beloved fur friends! And we're excited to announce that 15% of proceeds from these bars will be donated to our friends at Turtle Pants Farm, a local animal rescue that provides a safe haven for animals in need.
Our Sirius bars playfully illustrate the joyful soul of man's best friend! Bright summery colors pop with happy vibes and a groovy swirl pattern ensures every bar is completely unique! We paired this brilliant design with a summery-fresh aromatic palette that matches its spirited energy. Bright top notes of juicy clementine and fresh basil atop an herbal heart of garden mint and refreshing eucalyptus offer an invigorating and cheery aromatic experience. This bar shouts "come play with me" vibes! Stamped with a pitter-patter of adorable paw prints for your delight!

Sirius 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
