BTW, in regards to the comment I read about Wintergreen, we make a
wintergreen/poppy-seed soap which we have found to be quite popular
with our male friends and family because it's both a great hand
cleaner and body scrub, and its fragrance is less "girly" than many
others, which leads to more use by those of us who aren't of the
female persuasion (lavender, patoulli (sp), etc.)... :) FWIW, that
and our cinnamon/oatmeal soap are by far the most popular with our
male users...I've actually had many guys ask for more...
regards,
Andrew
