These are great little mini presents. Twelve Dactylioceras ammonite soaps are boxed individually.

The selection of 12 comprises:

3 x Black Clay & Rosemary

3 x Black Clay & Lavender

3 x Bladderwrack & Rosemary

3 x Bladderwrack & Lavender

The ingredients lists are below and printed on the outer wrapper of each little box.

One box contains a soap wrapped in white tissue paper, sealed with a Fossil Soap Company sticker, and a small square card with Jo Witney's drawing of the Dactylioceras soap. The outer sleeve is printed paper.

Essential oils scent the soaps. Rosemary and lavender grow happily in the garden at Mount House, where the Fossil Soap Company soaps are handmade. These plants inspired the choice of scent and a little warming cedarwood was added. The selection includes beige bladderwrack seaweed soaps (bladderwrack adds nutrients not found in land plants), and the more authentically coloured black soaps, which can be a bit messy due to the charcoal and black clay (avoid use with white flannels). The black glossiness of the black soaps is pleasing - and useful for washing really dirty hands after gardening as the dirt does not show on the dried soap.

Minimum weight of each soap = 20 g, diameter 5 cm, one side is flat - as is the original prepared Dactylioceras ammonite.
