Product Description
You'll think they're ovals of polished wood... that is until you take them into the shower or bath and they produce the creamy, fragrant lather of our natural, vegetable-based Sandalwood Soap. For a distinctive gift we've packed a set of three 5.8 oz. bath bars into a box covered in an antique map design. Fragrance Family: Spicy, Woody. Fragrance Note(s): Sandalwood (single note)

Customer Reviews:
Delicious! A luxury soap with a warm and lush scent. December 29, 2008
This lovely, high quality Sandalwood soap by Caswell-Massey is made of natural, vegetable based products. The soap is triple-milled which means that the soap is very hard and will last a long time. The lather is mild and creamy, leaving the skin lightly scented with this special sandalwood blend.
This is the larger size which is referred to as the bath soap. It is darker and has a wood grain appearance. The bath bars are larger and weigh 5.8 oz. They also carry a smaller size hand soap. It is light tan and comes in the 3.25 oz (92 g) size. I have used the hand soap as bath soap and cannot tell the difference--the scent and soap quality is the same.
Caswell-Massey's line of sandalwood products have been a favorite of mine for many years. The scent is so wonderful I use bars of this soap in my clothing drawers to infuse my clothing. While this blend may use other ingredients to create the blend the primary scent is the characteristic sweet woodsy fragrance of sandalwood.
Sandalwood is the name for a variety of trees (19) in the genus Santalum. True Sandalwood comes from Hawaii, Australia and India. The essential oil is very expensive and the quality varies according to the age of the tree and the species. It is naturally antibacterial which can assist in keeping skin clear of blemishes. The sweet woodsy aroma is calming and is used in ayurvedic medicine to treat anxiety.
Caswell-Massey is America's oldest apothecary established in 1752. They are well known for providing luxury personal care products. George Washington and John Adams figured among their early clientele.
