FLOWER MOON SOAPS are handcrafted by Lisa and Matt Redman  at "The Plains", an 18th century farmhouse near Chestertown on Maryland's Eastern Shore.  We began our commitment to making and selling quality soaps in April 1997. Since that time we have expanded our line to include moisturizing creams and healing salves infused with botanical ingredients selected from our herb garden. We also produce bath & shower gels, tea blends for the tub or jacuzzi, exfoliating bath salts, bath & body oils, body lotions, and body butters. The honey and beeswax in our lip balms is produced from our hives. To form the base for our soap we combine vegetable shortening (rather than animal fat) with top quality coconut and olive oil. We incorporate only the finest essential oils in our products. The oils we use are steam distilled from domestic and imported herbal materials.  www.flowermoonsoaps.com
