First word: YUM. I've written about this fabulous team before, but who can resist an update, especially when it comes to such luscious, soapy goodness?

Eric and Larissa handcraft their soaps as naturally as possible, and make sure to make batches to satisfy their demand. That means your soaps and products are fresh, right out of the soapery (which, in my mind, is what a soap creation area should be called!).

What I really love about Reef Botanicals is that they make an effort to provide quality products for men. Men are a pretty neglected segment in the handmade market, and a man smelling like jasmine and honeysuckle might catch a snicker from his friends. But here, you can find luxurious shaving sets, gift baskets, and even beer soap.

They have a wide array of products, from bath fizzies to face scrubs to soaps to candles, all beautifully photographed and described, so you know exactly what you're getting. Details of their product creation, testing, and brainstorming show up in articles on their blog, where you'll also find snippets of their life, personalities, and articles of other artisans.
