STRONSAY BEAST SOAP - sponsoring the Weird Weekend

These nice people are one of the sponsors for this year's Weird Weekend:

The Stronsay beast was the carcass of a huge marine creature washed ashore on Stronsay in 1808. This sketch of it was made by Sir Alexander Gibson as he saw it. Zoologists at the time concluded it must be some unknown sea serpent. Scientists today have challenged this and concluded that it could have been the remains of an extremely large basking shark. Who knows...... To this day the story and the mystery live on in island folklore. We decided it would be fun to make the beast in the bath soap, with its monster bubbles and beast stamped into each one. We enriched it with Sweet Almond Oil and packed it with French clay to make it really smooth.

Ingredients: Coconut Oil (Cocos nucifera), Sunflower Seed Oil (Helianthus annus), Palm Oil (Sodium palmate), Water (Aqua), Clay (Kaolin), Sweet Almond Oil (Prunus dulcis), Benzoin (Benzoin resinoid), Patchouli (Pogostemon patchouli), Sweet Orange (Citrus dulcis) essential oils, Parfum. You may notice a fine white coating on some soaps. It is perfectly harmless and will disappear as soon as you use your soap. It is a natural part of the soap-making process.
