==============================

Hand-painted. Forest-scented. Almost too cute to use. Almost.

Every year, Emily sets aside time to make something just for the holidays. Something whimsical. Something that makes people smile when they open the box. This little snowman is that something. Each one starts with a hand-placed stencil, then Emily paints over it by hand, adding the details that make each bar unique. The hat sparkles with biodegradable glitter. The carrot nose is a little crooked. The smile is just right.

Underneath all that charm is serious soap. This is our Mt. Ashland formula, the one people buy year-round because it smells like walking through an Oregon forest in December. Spruce, pine, and fir layered together, grounded by a touch of sage. It's evergreen without being air freshener. Festive without being fake.

"The stencil gives me the bones of the design, but the painting is where each snowman gets its personality. I love that moment when I'm adding the finishing touches and he suddenly looks like himself. The biodegradable glitter was important to me because I wanted the sparkle without the guilt. And the Mt. Ashland scent just felt right. It smells like the holidays should smell."

Why You'll Love The Holiday Snowman Soap Bar

• Hand-Stenciled & Hand-Painted: Each snowman starts with a carefully placed stencil, then Emily paints over it by hand to bring out the details. Same cheerful design, individual character.
• Biodegradable Glitter: That sparkle on the hat and body? It breaks down naturally. All the festive magic, none of the microplastic guilt.
• Mt. Ashland Forest Scent: Spruce, pine, and fir essential oils create an authentic evergreen aroma. This is what the holidays actually smell like.
• Real Soap, Real Ingredients: Superfatted with olive oil and shea butter for a gentle, moisturizing lather. Use it. That's what it's for.

This Is Why We Do It

"The spruce scented snowman soap was a hit as gifts for the holidays!"

The Ritual

Yes, you can use it. We know it's cute, but soap is meant to be enjoyed, not displayed until it gathers dust. Wet your hands, work up a lather, and let that forest scent fill the bathroom. The painted details will fade gracefully as you use the bar. By the end, you'll have a smooth little soap pebble and a lot of good memories. Store it somewhere dry between uses.

Key Ingredients

Spruce, Pine & Fir Essential Oils

The forest trio. These three evergreen oils create our signature Mt. Ashland scent, bright and resinous without smelling like a car air freshener.

Olive Oil & Shea Butter

The foundation of a gentle, superfatted bar that cleanses without stripping. Your skin stays soft, even in dry winter air.

Biodegradable Glitter

Plant-based sparkle that catches the light and then breaks down naturally. Festive and responsible.

Complete Your Ritual

Building a holiday gift? Add the Sweet Peppermint Candle for cozy winter evenings, and the Peppermint Jingle Soap Bar for a refreshing counterpoint to the forest scent. Wrap them together in tissue paper, add a ribbon, and you've got a gift that looks like you tried really hard. (You didn't have to. We did the hard part.)

Go ahead. Use the cute soap.
