Oh, what a perfectly poetic name! Doesn’t it sound like a secret summer afternoon—quiet and dappled, where the air hums softly with bees and the breeze smells of sun-warmed leaves and a hint of fruit? Lime Under the Linden Tree feels like that kind of day turned into soap—a little piece of golden stillness you can hold in your hands. It’s made with such thoughtful care: a gentle blend of avocado, canola, castor, coconut, olive, safflower, sunflower and sweet almond oils, enriched with palm fruit shortening and shea butter for a creamy, comforting lather. French green clay gives it the cool, mossy hue of shaded grass, while a touch of turmeric adds warmth, like sunlight peeking through the branches. There’s no essential oil in this bar—only the natural fragrance of blood orange tea and lime grown and dried at De Mars Farm & Orchard, mingling softly with the pure, clean scent of the oils themselves. It smells the way a walk feels beneath the linden trees—fresh, simple, and full of quiet joy. Lime Under the Linden Tree is not merely a soap; it’s a whisper of summer remembered—a small reminder that beauty often hides in still moments and soft scents, waiting for someone dreamy enough to notice.
