I’ve always admired T.S. Pink’s collection of pretty glycerin soaps.  They are called Soaprocks since they are made to resemble the naturally occurring rocks and gems found in the Earth.

So I finally got my hand on one of them.  Amongst the gem stone, Citrine is one of my favorite.  But the turquoise Soaprock looked so much better.  It’s a glycerin based soap and colored to look like turquoise with little gold streaks inside them.  It reminds me of a quartz crystal too.

The celebrity of precious stones, Turquoise is recognized by everyone after its 6,000 years as a decorative and spiritual talisman. Formed only in parched terrains, the mineral is rich with water, and Turquoise SoapRock quenches your skin.

I don’t know if I’ll be using it soon since it’s so neat looking.  As you can see, I haven’t even unwrapped it yet!  But T.S. Pink claims they light up when immersed under water.  So I may just cut them into two pieces and use half of it to see if that’s true.  And I’m sure most soapmakers would prefer to see people use their stuff anyway.

Each SoapRock® soap bar lights up under water, and over many uses, slowly weathers away in your hands like a stream stone in geologic time. SoapRocks® soap bars are endowed with extracts of earth: Aloe, Calendula, Chamomile, Comfrey, Lavender, Vitamin E, Jojoba Oil, Olive Oil, Almond Oil. Thus you can experience a beauty that penetrates, yet is skin deep. Prepare yourself for a consummate washing experience. They are a hybrid dense glycerine soap that lifts very little oil off of the skin as they gently cleanse. They are the art that touches us intimately, teaching us to appreciate beauty by using it, and letting it go.

The only thing I’m not too excited about is the scent.  It’s suppose to be “Calendula Gardenia Mist.”  At least it’s not a strong artificial smell, just a simple and light floral smell.  But then again, rocks usually have no scent right?  Maybe it should smell fresh and green, just like the good outdoors.
