Fall is here!
 I hope you've had a wonderful autumn.
I've thoroughly enjoyed watching the trees change color fron green to gold, brown and fiery red. Speaking of red, I've noticed my skin beoming chapped and itchy, thanks to the colder and drier weather, but help is here! Soapwalla has all sorts of treats to help you ease into the colder months. If all you need is a nice quiet half-hour in the tub, we can help you there too. (Or should I say "I"? Soapwalla is just me, after all, cooking up a skin-care storm in my Brooklyn kitchen.) Below you'll find updates on Soapwalla’s commitment to community, a recipe to get you through the crazy holiday season, and news about what I'm brewing up in the next month.
Visit the Soapwalla Etsy page to purchase a treat for yourself or a loved one, create a customized gift package, and to check for special promotions.

Community Outreach
It’s Soapwalla's SECOND birthday (I seriously can't believe it) and Thanksgiving season -- a time for reflection, gratitude, memory-making, and compassion. Because last November's fundraiser was such a success, I'm doing it again, but with a twist.
This birthday and holiday season Soapwalla is celebrating in style by adopting a flock of Farm Sanctuary turkeys! I will also donate TEN percent of your purchase of Soapwalla bath salts or body washes between now and December 31st. If you'd like to get in on the action, please consider adopting a turkey of your very own!

Featured Product: Restorative Face Serum
 Soapwalla’s Restorative Face Serum is a seasonal must-have for protecting and repairing delicate skin. During the fall and winter months, our skin – particularly our faces and necks -- need a moisturizer that not only shields us from harsh elements (think blustery winds, biting cold, and hot dry air from heaters), but also keeps our most vulnerable organ supple and even-toned.
This face oil does it all: successfully fends off red chapping and evens skintone. Supports and strengthens skin cell development. Locks out harmful, deteriorating oxidation. Absorbs effortlessly and easily. Even calms flyaway static-mussed hair! And is so gentle it can be reapplied as needed. Give it a try and report back. I'm sure you'll agree it's the best miracle-in-a-bottle ever to arrive in your mailbox!

Recipe: Replenishing Papaya Facial Scrub
As the weather gets colder, our skin becomes drier and flakier. The key is to keep ourselves hydrated while gently sloughing off dead skin that can cause a host of problems.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
Puree papaya in food processor or blender until smooth. Mix in honey or glycerin and essential oil, and enough oat flour to make thick but spreadable mask.
Cleanse face and neck with warm water, and smooth mask onto skin. Relax for 15 minutes, then remove mask with warm water. Follow with your usual moisturizing regimen.
Recycling
Want to reuse your bottles or jars? Here are some clever ideas from customers:
Note: please thoroughly wash and dry all Soapwalla containers twice before using for food storage, to eliminate any essential oil residue.
Soapwalla can also recycle your containers for you. Email me for recycling info!
About Soapwalla
 Soapwalla was born in my apartment kitchen one evening, after months of unsuccessfully hunting for face and body products that wouldn’t aggravate my sensitive skin issues caused by lupus (a chronic inflammatory autoimmune illness). Soapwalla organic face and body products are specifically designed to cleanse with natural ingredients without stripping the oils that our skin naturally produces, which is essential for optimum skin health. Soapwalla uses organic and food-grade ingredients, never questionable additives such as sodium lauryl sulfate, parabens or harsh and synthetic ingredients. Soapwalla products are vegan, locally and personally produced by me and absolutely never ever tested on animals.Feed Your Skin.
