As they are bars- Imperfectly Perfect

As They Are Soap Bars — Imperfectly Perfect

Not every batch turns out exactly how I imagined… and that’s okay. These bars are a collection of discontinued scents, experimental batches, or soaps that didn’t meet my usual standards for the main collection — but they are still perfectly usable bars of handmade soap.

Each As They Are bar is discounted because it may have a scent that didn’t become a favorite, a color or design variation, a texture difference, or simply didn’t fit where I wanted to take the collection. They may not be “perfect,” but they still carry the same care, ingredients, and craftsmanship as every bar made in The Red Deer Apothecary.

This is your chance to try a unique bar at a lower price while giving a handmade soap a second chance.
