If you have a favorite soap, incense scent, or candle maker, this is the thread to plug them!

If you want my soap recommendations:

^^ This one is a really nice floral incense scented soap. Germanium and jasmine, I think? Coconut oil based, so HOLY SHIT it does a great job of keeping skin moist. It's sold out on this site, but if you google it, you can buy this bar for $5. Some places sell for $10, but fuck that tho, this shit isnt hard to find.

Going up to $10 in price - this comrade is my girl. Their tomato leaf soap is, to me, my 'desert island' soap. Favorite scent hands down, if I was forced to pick. They usually do their soaps with a shea butter base, or some sort of clay - VERY luxurious.

I have one more soap recommendation, but for the sake of space and not getting cut off, gonna switch to candles and incense here:

Barnes does candles too, but I like these folks cause I can grab incense too. Their scents are terrific, and they are the highest quality incense sticks I've tried to date (and I've tried a few).

Thank you for coming to my TED talk, if there are any questions, I'll elaborate in the comments!

I dont fuckin work for any of these people I just really like their shit cause it all smells great and makes me feel good.

    Incense drastically increases the amount of PM25 in closed areas indoors.

        idk but a quick google indicates pm2.5 refers to fine particulate matter which makes sense that burning things would add that but I personally probably wouldn't worry too much about it unless someone in the room has severe asthma or the product in question exudes carcinogens

        It's just like secondhand smoke. Don't burn incense indoors. There's a reason every temple in Asia has an incense burner outside.
