Announcing new products (coming soon)!

Tub Tea
This time next week I will have tub teas and bath salts available in a variety of scents. (For now, here are photos from elsewhere, showing the kinds of products I'm now creating.) Tub teas are a lovely way to perfume the bath for a nice, relaxing soak. They consist of a mixture of herbs and botanicals that add fragrance to the water and are soothing to the skin and frazzled nerves. They really do come in a "tea bag" that you toss into the water to steep before you bathe. Lovely.



Bath Salts

The bath salts I produce come from Dead Sea salts, which are more mineral-rich than other salt sources. These minerals soften water and are therefore more soothing to the skin. My bath salts are lightly tinted and perfumed to add to a relaxing bath experience.









Sugar Scrub
I will also be producing a lemon sugar scrub soon. This is a product that keeps your skin healthy and smooth through gentle exfoliation, and leaves your skin soft and scented through the addition of oils and light fragrances.

We have soap!

At last some photos of my handmade soaps!


Black amber, key lime, and mango tango (top to bottom)
Cranberry-mandarin and lemon sugar
Green tea/lemongrass and black amber
Citrus basil, sandalwood/cinnamon, and manly musk
A stack of pearberry and appletini
Pink peony, berry splash, and blueberry-pomegranate
Foaming bath butter in pomegranate

These are by no means the only scents I have, and certainly not the only ones I can make. The foaming bath butter, for example, I also have in key lime, mango, and sugar cookie.

There is just about an endless variety of essential oils and blended fragrances available. If you have a favorite you don't see here, please don't be shy about asking if I can make it. The answer will almost certainly be "yes!"

I can also include botanicals ~ flower petals, herbs, colloidal oatmeal ~ in any soap. And any kind of soap can be made scent- and color-free for those with very sensitive skin.

More soap scents

I have managed to wrap and label 103 bars of soap for this weekend's trip to Blues, Brews and Barbecue at Hartman Arena in Wichita. In addition, I made a batch of key lime and one of black amber musk and plan to make one or two others, probably mango tango (a mixture of tropical fruit) and an unscented oatmeal bar for those with more sensitive skin. I've also got 14 jars of foaming bath butter in key lime, pomegranate, mango, and sugar cookie. Sounds good enough to eat!

Available soap scents

Thought I'd drop in to tell you the variety of soap scents I have available. As of this minute I have vanilla bean, blueberry pomegranate, pink peony (smells like the real thing), oakmoss, manly musk, citrus coconut, grapefruit tangerine, white tea ginger, lavender vanilla, sandalwood cinnamon, appletini, pearberry, cranberry, lemon sugar, citrus basil, creamy rosemary (great for the kitchen), and berry splash.

I have several 8 oz jars of foaming bath butter (heavenly!) in mango, pomegranate, sugar cookie, and key lime. This is a new addition to my product line.

In the near future I will have bath salts and tub teas and who knows what else, so watch this space!!

Welcome to GreenTree Artisan Soaps!

Welcome to my brand new site for GreenTree Artisan Soaps! I make hand milled bath items, including bath soaps and foaming bath butter. In the future I hope to include bath salts and tub teas ~ something to look forward to!


All my products are available in any scent or combination of scents you want. Check out my photos page for a small sampling of combinations I've made so far. The soaps are sold for $4.00 per bar, or 3 for $10.00, plus shipping. The foaming bath butter is $6.00 per jar, plus shipping. The shipping cost is calculated by weight ~ each bar of soap is 4 ounces, and the body butter weighs 8 ounces.


If you live nearby and come pick up your products, I'll refund the shipping cost. If you live overseas, I will be happy to ship to you but the shipping amount will be more. Please contact me if you have any questions.


You can order with confidence through the PayPal button on the right. Be sure to complete the box where you tell me what scent or combination of scents you want for your soap and/or bath butter.


Thanks to all of you who have been an encouragement to me in this endeavor. I look forward to hearing from you!
