Hello N.E.E.T lovers! It’s Jeanee, from Dirty Laundry, here with the dirty on organic handmade soaps for Etsy shops that I love.

1. calendula lemongrass soaps, three soaps for $16 – by Orchard Farm
Kate Jaeckel of Orchard Farm makes all of her products from scratch with fair trade, organic oils, and homegrown botanicals. As an organic farmer, herbalist and soap maker she started bringing her handcrafted soaps to the farmer’s market alongside her beautiful farm produce. The calendula lemongrass soap is great for sensitive skin. Orchard Farm grow, harvest, dry, and then grind all the calendula in this glowing orange soap for that instant relief it brings to dry, itchy skin.
2. Olive Oil All Natural Handcrafted Soap, a bar for $6 – by Belle Terre
Belle Terre lives on six acres of land in the foothills of North Carolina. They use only 100% natural ingredients and select organic and/or sustainably harvested ingredients when possible. Their packaging is minimal with the use of post-consumer recycled materials. This soap bar contains extra organic olive oil and extra sustainably sourced organic palm oil. The result is a rich, hard bar that is a pleasure to use.
3. Mens Big Bar Of Soap 100% Vegan, a bar for $6.99 – by Red Leaf
Red Leaf bath and body products for men are made by Chris who dug himself out of “cubicle land” and into running the business of his dreams. The oversized Mens Big Bar Of Soap is 100% vegan and formulated for extra sensitive skin. It’s available in lettuce, wasabi, black tea, fresh orange, beach, oatmeal milk & honey, English coast, basil lime and fresh clover. A lovely gift for the special man in your life.
4. Pomegranate Juice Soap with Sweet Almond Oil and Shea Butter, a bar for $5.50 – by DressGreen
DressGreen provides a line of products made with ingredients from nature. Each product is handmade fresh from scratch, never from a base. Each scent is crafted with beneficial essential oils.

5. Lavender Vanilla Bean Organic Body Bar – Hand Milled. All Natural, Organic and Vegan, a bar for $8.50 – by Naturallogic

We’re loving the Spring / Summer collection from Chicago-based brand hound. Designer Jennifer Beeman’s inspiration this season was found from combining ‘a lighthearted attitude and a love of Wisconsin’s Northwoods’ with ‘looking to the stars and navigating bodies of water’. The palette of orange, monochrome and teal is applied to a capsule collection of linen dresses and shorts and silk chiffon tops – and we love the light leaks in the look book…
