Rebel Earth Soap Company

Ok, I admit it! I REALLY want to make bath bombs for you folks! But I don’t have oodles of extra time (I know you feel me, who has this “extra time?” Can I get some for Christmas?) So, here’s what we are going to do. I can make a couple of different batches of top requested bombs. Have a bomb you bought before and loved it? Mention below. Was hoping to see a bunch at the market I normally attend? Which ones? Post below. These are old pictures from previous years, but top sellers are typically: Coal bombs (that bloom red or green for naughty or nice), Sharks (I’ll make those for sure), Santa, Leg Lamp, Owls, Rainbow unicorns, and basic round bombs. Anything else? Post below, and I’ll work on them this weekend! (My airbrusher has been whimpering sadly in the corner. Neglected)

Bit sad about it, but I’m not doing a market this year. 😢. Swipe to the last picture to see one of the reasons why (maximum time suckage)… But I do have soap! And here’s the line up: We have “Full Moon, Lavender Bloom” (with goat’s milk), “Wild Honey” with local beeswax and honey, “Mountain Folk, Beer Soap” made with beer, “Blackjack Salt Facial Bar” with sea salt, charcoal and essential oils only of peppermint and anise. This is followed by “Oatmeal, Milk and Honey” with local goats milk, honey and beeswax. And lastly, is “Spicy Pumpkin” made with local pumpkin and essences of ginger and cinnamon. Last pic, is our new addition.

If you guessed beer 🍺 as the mystery ingredient for the previous post about the last batch for 2023, you would be correct! Beer makes for a wonderfully, bubbly soap. I used a Guinness that I snuck from my husband’s stash, boiled the alcohol out, then froze as you might have saw. I added a wide gamut of luxurious oils and butters, including avocado oil, shea, and cocoa butter, and used the fragrances of Oatmeal Stout, and Raspberry Ale from to make for a very all-gender nose-friendly, “Mountain Folk Beer Soap”.

Last/late soap batch of the season. For this, super lovely bar, this liquid is full of sugars that, while make for a lovely, bubbly lather, also can make for overheating when combined with the lye, thus I have to freeze it in advance. Any guesses? Tomorrow I”ll post the picture and description of the soap, (made with so many lovely oils and butters, I’m going to keep a few bars for personal use, which I don’t usually do). I’m also going to post all of the soap I have ready and for sale. How is it already December?!

Full Moon Lavender Bloom back on the curing rack! Made with the positively-charged full moon water left out during September’s Harvest Moon, this bar also has the moisturizing qualities of local goat’s milk, and scented in light lavender.
I’ve topped these with flowers carefully selected and dried from my garden. This bar is a top seller. I did double the batch, but when it’s ready, you won’t want to hesitate.
It goes fast!

I have soaps that I haven’t posted yet, plus, yes! There are still shampoo and conditioner bars in stock, but guys, look! I grew lemons! And they are finally ripe! These are Meyers from a baby tree I bought in flower in the early spring. I heard they are heavy feeders and like heat, so it lives in our sunroom, and is fertilized with offerings from our senior rabbit. Will some be made into a soap? (Do you really need to ask?)

They are back in stock! My most popular product, solid shampoo and conditioner bars. Super moisturizing with argan, and jojoba oils, these are perfect for travel or at home. Scented in invigorating citrus scents, I have a tricky time keeping these in stock!

This one is for all you PSL lovers out there.. you know who you are. I admit to loving most things pumpkin (there is a limit..). Meet, “Spicy Pumpkin”. Made with real, local and organic pumpkin, this bar is moisture-rich, and smells like a spicy pumpkin pie. I trialed A LOT of pumpkin fragrance oils, before settling on this one. Not too sweet, with the right balance of sweet and spice, this bar is SURE to please pumpkin lovers out there.

Today is about orange. Wearing, and working with. The continued conversations about the impact, and the importance of listening.

Prepping for a very special batch of soap..

It’s been a minute! Hello folks! And while I might not have been busy the last while MAKING soap, I have been quietly sourcing and prepping beautiful local ingredients for my upcoming fall and winter line up. In the mean time, meet, “Wild Honey”. Made with local beeswax, local honey, and using anatto seed-infused olive oil as a natural, golden colourant, this bar is scented with Raw Honey from . It smells GORGEOUS, very soft, and sweet (but not too sweet), like real honey! In fact, my biggest critic (but also staunch supporter), asked me if we had to sell any of these bars. As he lives here (yep, my husband) that is saying something, as he has access to allll kinds of soap. Ready in 4 weeks!

I had the recent, and very great honour of hiking along the unceded territory of the Nuchatlaht Nation, Yuquot, along the Nootka Island trail with some other lovely folks. It was an experience that I will never ever forget; rafts of sea otters along the early water taxi in, fireweed and wild onions galore, tidal pools with some of the biggest sea anemones, I have ever seen, and so many caves along the shore line ready to explore! I could’ve easily spent a month exploring every beach (and don’t get me started on the amazing shore rocks.) As we carried everything on our backs, (shelter, food, etc) things needed to be light as possible as we made our way across pebbly shores, up rope climbs, and up and over logs (not a fan. Apparently I need to work on my squats? Ugh) I did get some very important help in the way of 2 local businesses that I wanted to give a shout out to that helped with providing me with a lighter set up. Take Off Adventure Rentals Canada
now provide rentals of hiking gear! You can rent for example, super lightweight stoves, that boil water in literally minutes. They are literally the size of a bowl. And that includes the pot and fuel! Highly recommend. (Especially if you are like me, and have super old heavy gear circa 1998 = no amount of squats are going to help carrying THAT backpack. I learned this the hard way last summer). And second, a brand new company that goes hand in hand with the rental, lighter stove, is
, they make THE most delish freeze dried backpacking meals. All gluten-free, high quality ingredients, with no sacrifice to taste. They have a selection of vegan, vegetarian and meat consumer choices, as well as deserts and protein-packed breakfasts. Because they are freeze dried, they are not only super lightweight, but rehydrate in minutes, much quicker than dehydrated meals. Now, back to regular life, and looking towards making some very long overdue summer soaps!
