the excellent service for Kate's Soap, Inc.. Thank you

Hi,

I rarely send personal emails to vendors.  Most vendors these days are
the impersonal super-giant chains.  But I've looked over your "Kate's
Soap" web site, especially the "How We Make Soap" photo album.  I
greatly enjoyed seeing the pictures and the text details on how your
product is formulated, from scratch down to the wrapping and shipping.

For a long time I've tried to find a non-irritating soap to see if some
minor, but annoying and nagging skin inflammations, would improve with a
change in soap.  I went to a dermatologist and she only recommended the
standard grocery store soaps:  Dove and Neutrogena.  Although they are
the most benign of the mainstream soaps, even their ingredients contain
some rather strange and questionable items.  I also tried some Ayurvedic
soaps and "natural herbal" soaps from my local health store.

It seemed I was faced with Dove/Neutrogena as the least of the
irritating mainstream soaps (which really didn't help), or the more
healthy soaps from a health foods store (but which barely barely
lathered at all!).

Until I discovered your soaps, specifically Oakmoss Blend & Neem Oil
Botanical Soap and the Lemongrass Patchouli blend.  They smell
wonderful, have improved my skin immensely, and wonder of wonders they
give a very generous lather.  I thought I was faced with only a choice
between bad soaps which lather, or good soaps which essentially don't
lather.

Yours are the best.  You have really put loving care and intelligence
into the manufacture of your products.  I'll continue to buy them
faithfully.  Thanks! Donald P.

Dear Kate,  I finally got a special order of your soaps from ****  Natural Foods.  The six bars I ordered are incredible (Sweet Almond, Rose Geranium, Rosemary, Peppermint Creme, Vetivert, and Patchouli Sandalwood).  In the future, I'll be placing more "special orders" so that I can try other soaps **** (the store) doesn't readily stock.  Thanks for creating such heavenly soap; my husband said that showering is so much better now!  Sincerely, Susan F

I got my order today (Scotland); I'm sure my postman was jealous as the box smelled gorgeous! The soaps look and smell delicious, and I can hardly wait to start using them. Thanks for the wee samples as well, and those are the cutest wee bags ever!
I've ordered soaps over in Internet before, and yours are by far the most generous size, most professionally packaged, and best value. If only I lived in the US, then I could afford to have these sent all the time.   Rebecca C. (Scotland)

Hi Kate...

Just a quick note to let you know that our order arrived yesterday, we
checked out the sample slivers, and the Kosmic Blues soap is divine.
(By the way, great minds think alike. A couple of years ago we helped a
local cafe name their veggie cheese melt bagel sandwich: the Kosmic
Meltdown.) When you start selling it in big bars, I will order
several! L**** is normally very partial to the scrubby soaps, but when
he smelled the Sandalwood sample, he changed his mind. Thanks so much for making your addictive soaps! J.

I'm surprised by how much better your lotion is (than Lubriderm) and haven't used Lubriderm since trying it. M.

Hi Kate, Thank you for your help over the telephone today. I met your soaps at the recent Native Plant show in Pinellas Co. My skin is so sensitive that I usually concoct my own cleansing products as well as a few moisturizing products. I use essential oils for housecleaning. Your soaps are fabulous. No rashes, bumps, or itches! My sister, my mother, my husband, and a good friend are all enjoying your wonderful soaps! Thank you so much!

Hello Kate,
My name is Alicea, I was recently given a bar of your lovely citrus hemp soap
by my sister in law. I feel this is the best soap I have ever used. I
emerged from the shower and I felt as if I had bathed in a stream in an
enchanted forest. I felt like mother earth herself had left her touch on my
skin. I cannot tell you how excited I am to try more of your soaps!
Thank you,
Alicea G.

hi kate,
I purchased from you in late august, a first time buyer. Just want to let you know... I buy lots of handmade soaps!! My friend makes the soap for a great soap store in my town and i buy at every craft fair where the soap catches my fancy. Then I discovered the web. I've purchased a handful of soaps from a few different sites but I have to say, I truly love yours the best, above all. lately, I've been spreading the word so I hope you get more customers though my word of mouth. My faves are patchouli/lavender/oakmoss, athena's garden and cocos butter chocolate. Thanx for the sample of patchouli/tangerine. Though patchouli is by far my fave oil, that scent is not really for me. Looking forward to purchasing a variety of others, just not yet... I still have too many to get through. Just used the cocoa in the shower about an hour ago and it truly is silky and so yummy I almost want to eat it. How much longer will the sandalwood soap be avail. that sounds wonderful!!! Thanks for a wonderful product!!! I love it! Wendy

"This is one of the most interesting sites I've been to! Reading your descriptions of everything made me feel like I was having coffee with a friend. Don't know if that's what you're going for, but you did a great job! Your stuff is just beautiful. You'll probably get an order from me before too long, and I live clear up in XXXXXXX. Just had to tell you." Sherry M.

"I've told you how much I love your soap, now I want to tell you what I did as a personal experiment. :-) I ordered soap from your site, then ordered similar soaps from 3 other soap makers. I used yours exclusively for a week and was astounded at the difference in my skin.... it was softer and visibly smoother with no dry spots. Next, we all used soaps from the other soap makers for a week...... remember, these soaps were labeled with very similar properties to yours. After just my first shower, I noticed a difference. My skin didn't feel as smooth as I dried off, and as the day wore on, it began to feel 'tight.' After a week, I was back to feeling and looking dry. I'm amazed at the difference in products labeled so closely to each other. Again, you've got a customer for life in me..... I hope you never stop making soap. Should you decide to go out of business, I'll take several of those BIG bars you picture on your site!" Lauran K.

"Your soaps help to provide us with a peaceful oasis to decompress and become focussed, leaving the material world behind us. I am so amazed at how such a simple thing as soap can bring so much peace." Albert L.

"We don't use any other soap anymore. This is the soap we use in the kitchen, the shower, on our faces, and on our dog, Pink. Thanks for being there!" Evelyn W.

"I love the scrubbies in the oatmeal!" Bonnie W.

"I bathed with the Patchouli-Tangerine and then proposed to my girlfriend. She said yes." Anon. (Congratulations!)

"It's the __cleanest__ soap I've ever used, if you know what I mean." Lynn E. (Lynn, I'm not sure I do, but thanks for saying so.)

Thank you for supporting a 100% woman-owned business!
