I have palmar plantar psoriatric arthritis. It is a
kind of arthritis that causes psoriasis on the palms of the hands and the
soles of the feet. Very strange, I know. My hands used to be in a constant
state of cracking - very deep cracks that are slow to heal - then the skin
thickens and they would crack again. Oh, and lots of itching, all the
time.
Since I started using your soaps I have been able to
keep this condition under control. Nothing can cure it, as it is internal -
caused by the arthritis that I inherited. But, your gentle soaps do not
aggravate the condition and dry my skin like other soaps do. No more
cracking!
Thanks for being in the soap business. You have
affected the quality of my life.
Sincerely, Carol
Just wanted to leave you guys a note to say how much I appreciate
your soaps. I developed eczema back at the
beginning of this year and since then the
only soap I will use is your oatmeal soap.
Anything else makes me break out, but in
conjunction with prescription treatment it
has been much less of a nuisance for me.
This is soap I know I can
trust, who knows what goes into store-bought
soaps! I intend to take a couple of the
little gift-sized bars when I travel later
in the month so that I can avoid the hotel
soaps. Last year your soaps were Christmas
gifts for my friends and co-workers, and I
think I will be doing my Christmas shopping
with you folks again this year. With all
the commercialism we have to deal with at
Christmas, the earth-friendly element is
really a bonus in my mind.
Thanks again so much for your
excellent products. Good soap means one
less thing to worry about!
Your loyal soap buyer,

"I just wanted to let you know that the bridal
shower favors that I had ordered from you were
AWESOME!!! You guys did such a great job with
the wrappings, the smells of the soap were
unbelievable. They were a big hit -
everyone loved them, especially the Bride to
Be. THANK YOU AGAIN."

My young son and I both have very dry skin. When my
son was four and five years old, his fingertips used
to get so dry they would split and the skin would
peel off around the cracks. They would hurt so bad,
he would ask me to put bandages on them and boy, did
that look strange. Sometimes, he would have
bandages on almost all of them. He would also get
dry, scaly patches on his arms and legs. His
pediatrician had me try a few different prescription
creams but none of them worked. My sister told me
about Earthly Delight Soap, gave me a sample and we
have been hooked since. Using the baby soap has
cleared up all his dry skin problems. I am hoping
you will be replacing the Oh Baby soap with a
product equally as good. I have found the body
butter to be the only cream that prevents my dry
skin, especially on my legs and elbows. I also love
the soaps!
Thanks for the great products!

I want to thank you so much for sending me a copy of the
July newsletter, and so quickly too!! It is wonderful
to have someone from a company respond so quickly to an
email that I have sent them. That tells me volumes
about your customer service , and because of that, plus
the choice of all kinds of great soaps that Earthly
Delights offers, I placed an order today. :) :) :) :) :)
I look forward to receiving my order, and also to
ordering from your company again in the future.
Sincerely,
Deborah, Connecticut
Applesauce Inn has never had
cleaner, softer or better smelling guests! Your
soaps are a joy, easily affordable and the larger bars
have served as the bulk of our gift shop sales. David
and I use them religiously and are so grateful to have
found you! Thank you for your wonderful products
and quick friendly service, you have garnered customers
for life!
I was introduced to Earthly Delight
natural soap by a long time friend of mine (I'd tell you how
long we've been friends, but that would also indicate our
ages). I immediately fell in love. I then purchased
some for myself and as gifts along with soy candles.
Everyone I've given them to fell in love; grandmother, mom,
sister, friends, etc. I think they now EXPECT to receive
Earthly Delight as their gift. How nervy is that!?! Of
course I do as expected. I love the way my skin feels and
how it makes my bathroom smell. Keep up the good work

I just had to write and tell
you how glad I am that I decided to sell your soaps in my
gift shop. My husband and I tried several "natural
companies" and they were all good but yours was superior in
lathering, fragrance, the way it made our skin feel, and of
course the calico wrappings make it so special. It was a
pleasure to order over the phone because you helped me
select just the right fragrances to fit my needs. My order
arrived promptly and I couldn't wait to tear open the
package and get it out so my customers would be greeted by
the lovely fragrances. We told our customers that we were
going to try and sell the best and I believe we are. On a
personal note I love washing my hands now, something in the
past that wasn't a pleasure, but necessity, because they
would dry out so much. Now I look for excuses to
get my hands on your soap. I LOVE YOUR SOAP AND YOUR
COMPANY!!! I will be calling you soon to order the samples
to give away you suggested on the phone and in the near
future the Loofa Soap Garden, it is awesome.
Talk to you soon!

I'm always hearing
compliments from guests about "those little soaps in the guest
rooms," but this one excerpt from a guest room diary was
especially complimentary in which they write: "...the fragrance
packed into your little Earthly Delight soaps stir up a whole
host of memories and emotions. They really are powerful in their
own subtle way." Sheri, Oak Park, IL

I just wanted to write and
let you know a few weeks ago I purchased a bunch of your soap to
give as Christmas gifts. I saved only one bar for myself
(mistake) and just started using it a few days ago. My skin is
so much softer (felt like lizard skin before I used your soap)
the soap lathers really nice and the scent is heavenly. I have
just placed another order and am keeping all the soap for myself
this time. To sum it all up, your soap creates showering nirvana
:) I am completely addicted. Thanks for a great product.

I'm SUPER excited about everyone's gifts
this year. it is a wonderful feeling to know that you're giving
someone the absolute best - the best for them (and their health!)
and for the environment too! Yay for earthly delight soap!!

Good morning Sandy,
First off, I have to tell you right away how impressed I am by your
personal response and the time you took to explain it all to me. I'm sure I still won't be
a BIG buyer , but you've made a friend and a fan already.

My son Connor has very sensitive skin, especially on his cheeks,
but ever since we've been using your 'Oh Baby' soap on him his
cheeks have been the way they're supposed to be - baby soft! We
were using Johnson&Johnson baby wash all through last winter, and
were skeptical about changing over to a bar soap, but my husband and
I agree (and I think Connor would, too) that your soap has been a
lifesaver for us. No more chapped red baby cheeks! As a quick side
note, we also bought your magnetic soap holder, and everyone who
walks into our kitchen is so impressed at how cool that thing is!
We don't use any other soap in the kitchen - scrubbing with your
soap each time we need to doesn't dry our our skin, and with winter
coming, that's pretty important. Thanks for the great soap!

Sandy,
The Honey and Soap arrived today! The Honey is YUMMY! Hubby was upset
about me ordering honey, but once he tasted it, he said "NOW THIS IS
WHAT HONEY IS SUPPOSED TO TASTE LIKE. I think he will like the soap
too, once he tries it.

I spent a lovely refreshing,
relaxing night with my husband at the
Springbrook Inn
outside of
Houghton Lake, MI last night and used your Lilac Blossom soap,
apparently the last bar Kathy
had in the place--I loved it--not only was the scent heavenly, but it
lathered nicely and left
my skin feeling silky soft. I inquired of Kathy about purchasing some
soap, and she laughed and
told me she didn't have any more of that fragrance. Apparently she'd had
a lengthy discussion
with you about which scents to order for the Inn and you had tried to
talk her into the Lilac
Blossom, but she finally decided against it. So she said to be sure and
tell you that I loved it and
wanted to buy some more. Actually she gave me your brochure for
innkeepers which has your
website on it. I do plan to get an order together and place it on your
website, however, Kathy
wanted to make sure I told you about my interest in the Lilac Blossom
soap, and I was was
fearful I'd forget by the time I actually ordered - I'm thinking
Christmas gifts, and soap for me!
Thought I'd email now when it's fresh in my memory!
Take care and thank you for such wonderful soap. I'm looking forward to
sampling lots of your
products in the future.
Sincerely,
Jane

Just wanted to let you know. I Love your soap !!!
The lather is unbelievable...it is like thick, creamy lotion, which felt
like velvet on my dry, flaky, hands. Good job!!!! I am impressed, my
hands are no longer flaky. They actually feel smooth and silky. I try
everything I order before I use it in my gift baskets....glad I
do....your soap is AWESOME!!!
Thank You,

I just wanted to let you know how much I've enjoyed your soaps. The
shampoo bar is wonderful! Seriously, my hair has never felt
softer. Also, the soaps last a long time. I placed my last order 4/10/04
and I still have about 1/3 of the shampoo bar left and I just started on
my 2nd cake of shaving soap (and I sometimes shave twice a day!). I used
to get dry skin from my shaving creamed and that has disappeared. The
Licorice Whip soap is great too. I used to have dry, eczema patches on
my legs and those have cleared up.
Thank you again for your wonderful products.

Hello,
I just had to write and tell you how impressed I am with both your soaps
and your service! I had no idea how quickly my order
would arrive, or how luxurious the soap would feel. And the
scents...heaven! I have told all my friends about your products and will
also be doing quite a bit of Christmas shopping on your site this year.
Thank you so much for providing such a wonderful array of products.

I just want to say wow! Your service is so quick. I placed
my order on Wednesday afternoon and received it on Friday afternoon.
I found your soap at the Century Center @ the Shipshewana on the Road
Show. It is the best soap I have ever used. I also bought
some soap with my order for my dog. I have to tell you he hates
baths but he was intrigued by the smell. He kept sniffing at it
till I gave him a bath Friday night. He has never been so soft.
He feels like he has puppy fur again. Thanks for
getting me my order so quickly and for making such a great product.

Hi, I just wanted to write to tell you (as I'm sure hundreds of people
do) that your soap, to my way of thinking, has pretty much saved my life.
In September 2003, I went with my 11 year old daughter to her sixth
grade camp, she discovered allergies and I discovered a change in my skin.
After returning home, my skin itched uncontrollably and I was found
switching bath soaps, laundry detergents and giving myself alcohol sponge
baths - anything to make the terrible itching stop. No - I had not
come into contact with poison ivy or any other plant - my skin though was
dry, itchy, flaky and I would scratch till I bled. My mother who is
68 years old, had a bar of your Sweet Sensations Soap left and offered it
to me and promised it would help. The very day she gave it to me I
came home and took a shower and the difference was absolutely dramatic.
My skin was soft again and after only one use I knew I was hooked.
One of the bad things going on was that I was becoming afraid to
wash/shower/bathe because I knew that I would scratch and itch. Since
receiving just that one bar, I cannot wait to come home from work or come
in from working in my yard or doing any other task and take a shower and
indulge myself. No longer do I jump in and jump out - I take my time
and make sure that I've covered everything. Also, I have used the
soap on my face and I am so totally amazed - though from my neck down it
was terrible - my face stayed oily so much so that I would run my fingers
across my cheek and my fingers would be slick. Now using Sweet
Sensations even my facial skin has changed - I don't need oil changes
every couple of hours and the skin is soft and feels cleaner. I have
even taken a small sliver of the bar I was given to work for those times
when my skin feels like it is starting to dry out which sometimes happens
in my office.
In closing, let me thank you once again for being my life saver/skin
saver. You cannot know how desperate I had become for some kind of
relief and your soap has provided it and made a complete difference.
Vicki B.
Toledo, OH
Note: After receiving this email titled "Life
Saving" I explained to Vicki how commercial soaps leave a film on your
skin where as our natural soap does not - it actually rinses off your skin
and allows your skin to "breath". And her severe
itching caused by who knows what, was compounded by commercial cleansers
that were covering her skin and covering the problem. I was tickled
pink that our soap brought her relief! Eight years perfecting our soap
recipe was worth just this one letter! Sandy Comeau
Dear Sandy,
Just had to write you to let you know via e-mail how much I love your soap.
Usually I've called in my order or see you at the craft show you did in
Pleasant Ridge (I think that is the right one). This time I ordered
via the internet - it sure is convenient even though I did enjoy chatting
with you on the phone. I can't wait for my soap to come - I am
really out of soap - I only have a tiny bit left. Thanks again
so much for an absolutely outstanding product. I ordered something
new, the shampoo soap and can't wait to try it. Your soap is such a
treasure!!!
Thanks again,
Nancy G.

Just a
quick note to let you know how much I love the shampoo bar - it is great -
smells wonderful!! and lathers so much! Just love it!! You could
use my comments anytime - I think your soap is outstanding! Thanks for the
bar of chocolate mint truffle -smells good enough to eat! I really love how great my skin feels after using
your soap its like using soap and lotion all at once. Thanks for such
great products!
Dear Sandy,
I can not live without your soap. I ran out and I'm breaking out in
rashes from all other soaps. The Body Butter Cream is out of this
world. I used Camille Beckman hand cream. I have used it for 10
yrs. I'm now switching to your Butter Cream. You make the best
soap and cream. I have very sensitive skin and I get so many
compliments on my face from using your soap. I'm 52 years old and my
skin looks a lot younger from the use of your soap. I want to
compliment you on your speedy delivery of your products through the
mail. Keep up the good work! You are serving the world with your soap
& other products.
Sincerely,
Carmen

Our guests are completely charmed by the Earthly Delight
soaps. They are all natural, deliciously aromatic and moisturizing and
the calico packaging is homespun and delightful.

We're so happy to provide your Earthly Delights Soap for our Bed and
Breakfast guests. We love the natural ingredients and the scents are
sensational. Thanks for offering a quality product that fits perfectly into
our whole plan of providing pampering service and amenities to our guests.
Almost as much as coffee, I
need Earthly Delight's soap, particularly "peaceful interlude" to
start my day. It's lovely, comforting smell and rich lathering bubbles
have become the "way I begin my day." Your soap is also THE
gift we give to my kids' teachers. This holiday season, my son asked
me, "Do you have enough of the soap so I can give it to all of my
teachers?" Everyone loves it.
I am one of your biggest fans and appreciate the great care you take in
creating a wonderful product that is kind to our spirit! Thank you,
Sandy

My husband is a teacher and usually gets up a few minutes earlier in
the
morning than I do. He jumps in the shower and I wake up to the
incredible scent of "Rosemary and Herb!" Some people like to
wake up to the smell of fresh coffee brewing, but for me nothing says
"good morning" like Earthly Delight soap!

I wanted to
tell you the soaps were a big hit...everywhere from Amherst, MA to

I have been using soap from Earthly
Delight Soap for about 5 years now. I
would never even consider using anything else.
Recently I went on a business trip, and forgot to pack my own soap.
What a disaster! After
three days of using commercial soap my skin was so dry and itchy!
When you get home from a trip it is always nice to sleep in your own
bed. However for this trip, it
was heaven to get back to my Earthly Delight Soap.
It
is always a delight to deal with your company.
Whenever I call, whoever I talk with is always willing to take
the time to help me with my soap choices.
My orders have always been received promptly as promised, and I
appreciate being updated on new products available. I
can honestly say that I am so glad I discovered Earthly Delight Soap
Company!
Carol J.

Before I started using Earthly Delight Soap my skin would always be very dry especially in the winter. My favorite is the Lemon Crème. It
leaves me feeling clean and fresh, and I no longer itch all the time.
It is the only soap I will use.

I was introduced to Earthly Delight Soaps 2 years ago and have been
loving them ever since. This year [2002] we decided to send all our
grown children (all six of them spread out throughout the country!) a gift
of your products for Christmas. I'll tell you, never have we had so
much thanks and appreciation for a gift. At last, I have found
something useful that all my children love. All the packages arrived
on time and they all just LOVED them. I do believe we have a new
holiday tradition: sending your wonderful soaps. Thank you!
Vivian Mathews,

We stayed at a Bed and Breakfast in Michigan last year, which is how
I discovered your lovely soaps. Not only do I order your soaps for
our home now, I also check your site to find which B&B's carry your
soaps because I know I'll find your soaps there and I also know they
care enough to put out the very best and I'm assured its a quality
B&B. The only thing that upsets me is when I'm traveling and
can't find a B&B on your site in the area I'm traveling to.
Can't you hurry up and get your soaps everywhere I go!

I love your soaps. They smell delicious. They're a treat before
you evenstart using them... I store the unused bars in my linen closet and my
pillowcases smell great!
Susan C.
Just wanted you to know we have been getting nice compliments on the soap
(not one on [another commercial amenity soap Co.]). The size
doesn't seem to be too small at all, thank you again and we will be
reordering from you again.

Your soaps, more than likely, were part of the reason guests voted us as Top
15 "Best in the Midwest" from Arrington's B&B Journal for
2003.
I hear compliments daily from guests who love the feel of the soap on
their skin, enjoy the delightful scent, and even comment on the way the soap
is wrapped. Guests notice that this isn't just soap!

I have been very satisfied with your products, especially the body
butter. I use it on my two children (Amanda & Hannah) as well. The pine
soap dish is also neat.
I am pleased that your company makes natural products. I think
it is great and I am happy I stumbled across your website, while
looking for a recipe for Crumb cake.
