Description
Camping Mosquito Soap – the year that the CDC came out with a press release stating the lemon eucalyptus oil was a good, natural alternative to Deet, we couldn’t keep the Mosquito soap in stock. Ever since then, we’ve used that press release as a selling point. All the essential oils in this soap and present because they have a tendency to repell different types of bugs. Anyone who grows lavender knows that you never need to used pesticides on it because bugs naturally stay away from it. Citronella has always been known to keep nasty little bugs away. The Cedarwood oil in the soap, reminds us of how pet bedding is usually filled with cedar chips in order to deter fleas.However, the best testimonial for the Mosquito soap comes directly from our customers. We’ve been making this soap for over 12 years and anyone who has tried it comes back every summer to stock up on it. Mothers often buy it for their children for playing out in the yard. We go camping a few times a year and I can personally say that whenever I bath in the Mosquito soap, I never have a problem with getting a mosquito bite or a tick on me. When camping, we even wash our hair in it.

BAR size: These are unwrapped bars of soap. Each bar is approximately 1 inch thick x 2.5 inches tall x 3 inches wide and weigh between 3.7 and 4 ounces when fully cured.
soap loaves measure at 11.5″ long, 3″ wide and approx 2.5″ high. With the width we choose to cut our own soaps, we get a return of 10 bars per loaf that weigh in around 3.8 – 4 ounces per bar, depending on the formula and botanical contents.
each soap LOAF was cut from a larger BLOCK of soap. A soap BLOCK is 3 loaves of soap that has not been cut into loaves. Soap BLOCKS measure 11.5″ x 9″ x 2.5″ high. Soap blocks give you greater freedom in choosing how to cut your soap into BARS to create your company’s own, unique size of soap. Soap BLOCKS cost around 10% less than buying three loaves.
