Handmade Holiday – ALTR Soap

Today’s featured artist is ALTR Soaps!

ALTR Soap creates hand-made bar soap with local, wildcrafted botanicals.
They seek to change popular soap culture by offering products that showcase only local plants,
and elevate the seemingly mundane task of washing oneself into a ritual reconnection to the land.

All of the main botanical elements are wildcrafted by ALTR from local wild areas
and are then brewed into a nourishing infusion that acts as a base for each bar.

There soap is 100% natural, made with organic ingredients, palm oil free and vegan.
