Mystic Water Soap's Top 25 Best Selling Soaps

My Bestselling Soaps

Where faeries come to bathe - in the mystic water

Often, I'll have new customers ask me, "What's your best soap?" One way to answer that is, "Here are the ones that my customers tell me they like the best, by buying them again and again!"

Some people buy soap based on the fragrance or the color, while others are looking for a particular ingredient or want a more "natural" product. While I can't satisfy everyone, I do my best to have a wide array of products, all made with care and attention to detail. Many people tell me they buy the Sea Salt bar again and again because "it just feels good in the shower!" or "it feels so fresh!"

If the order button is missing, it means that I am temporarily out of that soap and probably have a replacement batch curing. I try not to run out but unexpected demand sometimes occurs. I apologize for the inconvenience, if your favorite soap is out of stock!

Here Are My Best Selling Soaps

#1 Sea Salt Soap

My original salt soap, lavender, peppermint and rosemary give this soap a fresh and invigorating scent that perfectly matches the pale blue-green and white swirls. A bestseller since I first made it, many people swear by it as a bath and facial bar. Salt soaps are a little different than the soap you might be used to: they contain a large amount of fine sea salt that dissolves as the same rate as the soap does, it’s very solid and long-lasting. Rubbed directly on damp skin in the shower, it gently exfoliates without being scratchy. Used with a nylon bath puff, it makes lots of lather. See more about this and my other salt bars on the Sea Salt Soaps page. $5.66

#2 Shampoo Bars

These days people are increasingly trying to avoid ingredients like SLS or SLES, or simply to have a more "natural", less expensive and simpler hair product. These are also perfect for the frequent traveler as they're not subject to the restrictions on carrying liquids through airport security! My shampoo bar starts with marshmallow herb which makes a soothing mucilage when soaked in water. Shea butter, coconut, castor and olive oils are blended with the herbal extract, silk, honey and sodium hydroxide and made into soap. Finally, for the Original Shampoo Bar, I add pure Moroccan argan oil and lavender, rosemary, orange peel and Ylang ylang flower oils - an uplifting herbal fragrance with unisex appeal. The Rosemary Mint Shampoo Bar is scented with the same lavender, peppermint and rosemary blend that is so popular in my Sea Salt Soap bar. And the Unscented Shampoo Bar is the same base recipe, but with no added scent. See more about this and other natural hair care products here, and my Shampoo Bar FAQ, here. The newest addition is the Neem & Tea Tree shampoo bar. In addition to the marshmallow root infusion, I use a decoction of soapnuts and neem leaf as part of the liquid portion of the soap. Neem oil is included in the base oils and jojoba is used for the superfatting oil. $6.60 each.

#3 Cedar & Sage

Clary Sage, Virginia cedarwood, patchouli, lime and bergamot with spice notes – outdoorsy and masculine and complex. $5.66.

#4 Wild Lavender

Lavender does seem to be just about everybody's favorite scent. This soap is scented with a combination of lavandin (a hybrid of cultivated lavender and wild spike lavender) and French lavender essential oils. $6.37

#5 Sandalwood

Real sandalwood essential oil is becoming extremely expensive and increasingly rare because of over-harvesting and illegal poaching. We use a sandalwood fragrance oil that has a persistent, sweet, and woody base note with a delicate, spicy, oriental undertone, very similar to real Mysore sandalwood oil. A shea butter-enriched soap colored deep red with Australian clay, with a white swirl and dissolved silk. Recently added to my line of 20% shea butter soaps.
$6.60

#6 Pink Sands (Salt Soap)

The 3rd of my salt soaps in the top 7 best sellers. I created this primarily as a soap for the feet. It turned out, its scent was so popular my customers demanded I make a bath bar using the same scent blend (see Citrus Grove) which is orange peel oil and lemongrass, very sprightly and fresh. This salt soap also has fine pumice stone particles added to it so it’s like a soapy pumice stone. It also is great for very dirty or greasy hands, but too rough to be used as a body soap. $5.66

#7 Irish Traveller

“It smells like a good looking man” said one customer. Popular with men and women, this blue, green and white swirled bar is scented with our version of the famous Green Irish Tweed fragrance. $5.66

#8 Orange Blossom

I love the lavender and orange peel used in this shea butter-enriched soap, with coconut milk and dissolved silk for a divinely decadent creamy lather. Recently upgraded to my 20% shea butter formula.
$6.60

#9 Morning Mint

Chilly peppermint and sweet spearmint blend to make this fresh morning wake-me-up soap. $5.66

#10 Yemaya

Named in honor of the Afro-Caribbean Goddess of the Sea, this is my most recent sea salt soap offering. Blue like the deep sea, Yemaya is made with 10% shea butter, coconut milk and the essential oils of orange, lemon, and cinnamon. $5.66

#11 Dead Sea Mud Salt Soap

This is the 5th of five of my salt soaps that are in my top 12 best sellers! This one is a spa-type bar with a generous amount of Dead Sea Mud, tea tree oil and activated charcoal. It is a bit grittier than the regular Sea Salt, Simply Salt or Marrakesh, providing more exfoliation and cleansing. If you want a super gritty bar for the hands and feet, try #7 Pink Sands (above)! $5.66

#12 Lilac Wood

Very true to real lilac scent, a layered violet and white cocoa butter soap with curly white shreds of jasmine soap embedded on top. Very pretty and often chosen as a gift. $5.66

#13 Bay Rum

I've added this Bay Rum soap as a 20% shea butter bar in response to many requests from my shaving soap customers who wanted a companion bath bar to their shaving soap.
I use the same Bay Rum that scents my most popular shaving soap in this 20% shea butter soap. $6.60

#14 Original Dry Skin Soap

I originally developed this recipe trying to make the most luxurious, decadent soap imaginable! It's an extremely rich bar made with emollient olive oil that has been infused with a selection of 8 organic herbs, 20% unrefined shea nut butter, coconut milk, pure essential plant oils, a touch of clay and dissolved silk, and then it is cured for a minimum of six weeks, to make a lovely naturally colored soap with dense creamy lather. $6.60

#15 Goat Milk Soap

Creamy goat’s milk, essential oils of Clary sage, lavender & rose geranium with silk and a rose clay swirl. This soap uses the same base recipe as the Gentle Oatmeal and Black Goat soaps. One of my favorites. $6.37

#16 Rosalimone

A delicate blend of tart lemon and freshly cut roses scenting the same 20% shea butter formula I developed for my Dry Skin Soap. Delightful, and very kind to your skin. $6.60

#17 White Tea & Ginger

A beautiful two-tone cocoa butter bath soap in white and light green, topped with shavings of yellow soap to look like a sprinkling of shredded ginger root. $5.66

#18 Earth Rose

Sandalwood and rose, powdery and feminine without being too sweet. It’s a pale rosy brown shea butter-enriched soap with a swirl of darker pink clay. Now part of my new line of 20% shea butter soaps. $6.60

#19 Tea Tree & Oatmeal

I have a number of parents who buy this soap regularly for their teenagers. It's made with specially chosen ingredients to gently but thoroughly cleanse oily skin. It has the largest amount of clay of any of my soaps, in this case, absorbent bentonite. It contains tea tree oil, oatmeal, honey, and astringent hazelnut and grapeseed oils. $6.37

#20 Dragon's Lair

Smokey dark scent that is reminiscent of root beer, anise and vanilla, the top is textured to look like...what else? Dragon hide! Popular with men and women. $5.66

#21 Ethiopian Coffee

Chocolate-y rich dark brown coffee soap made with Ethiopian Yergacheffe coffee beans from a local roaster. We use triple-brewed coffee to make the soap and then add coffee fragrance oil and ground coffee to make a gently exfoliating bar – perfect as a kitchen hand soap and gentle enough to use in the shower. $5.66

#22 Lily of the Valley

As with Bay Rum, I've added Lily of the Valley to my line of 20% shea butter soaps in response to many requests from my shaving soap customers.
$6.60

#23 Oatmeal Milk & Honey

The “comfort food” of scents in a light brown goat milk soap with honey and finely ground oatmeal. $5.66

#24 Eucalyptus & Spearmint

Ice blue peaks and swirls top this fresh herbal creation. $5.66

#25 Gentle Oatmeal

Soothing, very finely ground and sifted oatmeal with pink clay, lavender, rose geranium and tea tree essential oils for combination skin. This soap uses the same base recipe as Black Goat and Goat Milk soaps. $6.37
