Guardians of Childhood - Nourishing Gem Pure Castile Soaps

"We will watch over the Children of Earth,
Guide them safely from the ways of harm.
We will guard with our lives their hopes and dreams,
For they are all that we have, all that we are, and all that we will ever be."

These soaps- modelled after the symbols of William Joyce's Guardians of Childhood (also seen in the DreamWorks film Rise of the Guardians)- are a bit rugged in design, like worn gems you've kept in your pocket for years. They aren't perfect, seamless things that have an identical production each time- they're always going to be a little different. Like all of us.
Some might say "it's just soap, what's the big deal?" and the response given would be that in finding and weaving meaning into the everyday is where we find the true source of magic- Something that blooms in the heart. Soap is something simple yet present in every person's life. As Gandalf would say, "It is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folks that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love."

Each has a unique scent profile-
ā¤ļø NORTH (Santa) is gingersnap cookies beside a roaring fire of applewood logs
šŸ’œ BUNNYMUND (Easter Bunny) is new beginnings of spring- ripening berries, flower buds and sprouting grass
šŸ’š TOOTHIANA (Tooth Fairy) is fond childhood memories preserved in a deep jungle
and šŸ’™ JACK FROST is peppermint bark and winter forests
