“Life is too short for yucky soap,” writes Jean-Marie of Daisycakes Soaps, a Florida-based bath and body shop that specializes in hand-stirred, handmade soaps. I couldn’t agree more; supermarket varieties are bland at best when compared to Jean-Marie’s creations, which are delightfully shaped and made from natural, skin-friendly ingredients. Above are her delectable spearmint and peppermint bars, along with a mint chocolate chip bar.

Daisycakes offers several varieties of soaps, including all-natural soaps (they use olive, coconut and palm oils) and all-vegetable glycerin soaps. The latter soaps are pH-neutral and alcohol free, which means it thoroughly cleans and lathers without drying out your skin. Above: beautifully detailed flower bouquets, butterfly and piggy bars.

Some of her soaps actually had me fooled–her lemon bar and coffee bean in particular are almost indistinguishable from the real thing. Her attention to detail has itself gotten considerable attention, as Jean-Marie is also an Etsy Featured Seller. One look at her sales (over 3,800) shows that she seems to have hit the sweet spot between affordability and quality.
