Winter Crystal Wonderland


Winter... Time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire; altogether it is the time for home. Winter, a lingering season, is a time to gather golden moments, embark upon a sentimental journey, and enjoy every idle hour.

From November 2011 to the end of April 2012, you can get any of our lovely soaps at various craft shows around the metro Detroit area. Just check our calendar for the event closest to you, and stop by to pick up your favorites.

Don't forget that a selection is also available at both Plum Market Bloomfield and West Bloomfield stores, Artloft Gifts in Birmingham, and Spa A-Peel Day Spa Studio in Detroit. And finally, no matter what, you can always order online for quick shipment from our secure website.

See you soon!


Available at Plum Market, Artloft Gifts and Spa A-Peel Day Spa Studio!

We are very happy to announce that Plum Market is now stocking a selection of our soaps in their Bloomfield and West Bloomfield stores.

Plum Market is committed to offering the best selections of natural, organic, local and specialty products in a full service grocery market. Please stop in and help support our local economy, and pick up a bar or two while you're there!

In addition, we will also be participating on-site during Plum Market's "Spa Days" in early October. Make sure you stop in and say hello!

We are also very pleased to announce that our Mineral Spa and All Natural soaps are now available at Artloft in downtown Birmingham. Artloft is a delightful little store, with a wonderful selection of beautiful and unique gifts. Tell Rachel we sent you, and make sure to check out our soaps when you are there as well!

Beginning with the New Year, we are very proud to be offered at Spa A-Peel Day Spa Studio in Detroit. Pamper yourself with an assortment of spa services, or reserve a private pamper party for you and your guests!

FSW Articles

First up is our Farmington Soap Works Product Guide. In it, you will find out everything you ever wanted to know about our products and ingredients... What kind of oils we use, how "natural" our All Natural soaps are, and why we select the ingredients we use.

We've also left up our cold process soap article. This used to be our "about us" page, and describes how we make our cold process soaps. Did you know that all of our soaps are cured for weeks before they are offered for sale?

Finally, we've posted an article about pH testing, and our campaign to stomp out "zap testing". We expect this to step on some toes, maybe bruise some egos. But honestly - how can anyone seriously consider using your tongue to test for lye content to be a good idea?


About Us

Farmington Soap Works creates unique, hand-cast cold process soaps, using only the finest tropical oils and selected ingredients, for a true one-of-a-kind soap. Our special blend of oils provides an exceptionally creamy lather, and the colorful designs and exotic scents are sure to please.
