[Ag-eq] Soaps

[Liz Lewis]

We can find Seventh Generation and Kiss my Face at the grocery store.  We
like to shop around and find specialty soaps  for gifts.  Oh, we also like
Yardley but it tends to be pretty strong.  Do you sell your products? 

Liz:

Thanks for the input.  Personally I like a light scent, but know many people
are sensetive to it.  So it would probably be a good idea to have both.  I
made a bar soap with allo and oatmeal that is unscented, it's actually one
of my favorites.  I really like the way it makes my skin feel.

What kind of soaps do you find to buy?
