There’s something about a Southern winter that feels both lively and still — the kind of cold that nips your cheeks but melts quickly when the sun spills across the porch. Holly Belle’s Candy Cane captures that very feeling in a bar — the crisp sweetness of peppermint meeting the warmth of creamy goat milk and rich grass-fed tallow.
The color swirls like a peppermint ribbon stirred through snow cream, soft pink and white dancing together in perfect harmony. A light dusting of organic spearmint leaves rests on top, just enough to remind you of candy canes tucked into stockings and sweet mint tea cooling on the counter after Sunday supper.
Each wash is like stepping into a quiet December morning in the country — where laughter drifts from the kitchen, pine and peppermint linger in the air, and the world feels gentle again. Holly Belle’s Candy Cane isn’t just soap — it’s the scent of Country Christmas joy, wrapped in comfort and a touch of frost.
Ingredients:
**Dry Rendered, Organic Grass-Fed and Finished Beef Tallow – Rendered in-house, a deeply moisturizing and nutrient-rich fat, tallow creates a firm, long-lasting bar with a rich, creamy lather. Packed with skin-loving vitamins A, D, E, and K, it supports elasticity, soothes dryness, and nourishes sensitive skin.
**Organic Babassu Oil – Lightweight yet deeply nourishing, organic babassu oil is pressed from the kernels of the babassu palm native to Brazil. Rich in lauric and myristic acids, in soap, babassu offers a creamy, bubbly lather and acts as a gentle alternative to coconut oil — ideal for sensitive skin. Its soothing, cooling properties help calm dryness and irritation, making it a perfect addition to our nourishing tallow soaps.
**Organic Castor Oil – Known for its exceptional lather-boosting properties, castor oil enhances the soap’s bubbles and provides a smooth, conditioning feel on the skin. It also helps retain moisture, making it a great addition for sensitive skin.
*Natural Olive Pomace Oil - A time-honored staple in natural skincare, olive pomace oil is rich in antioxidants, squalene, and nourishing fatty acids. Extracted from the whole olive fruit, including the skin and pit, this oil deeply moisturizes, softens, and protects the skin without clogging pores. Its natural emollient properties help soothe dryness, calm irritation, and support the skin’s natural barrier. Olive pomace oil also creates a gentle, conditioning lather in cold process soap — making it ideal for sensitive or dry skin types.
#Raw Goat Milk - Fresh, raw goat milk has long been a gift from nature for nurturing the skin. Rich in gentle lactic acids, vitamins, and natural lipids, it deeply moisturizes while helping to soften and renew. Its creamy composition supports the skin’s natural barrier, soothes dryness, and delivers a feeling of lasting comfort. Unprocessed and full of life, raw goat milk brings a quiet kind of nourishment — leaving the skin feeling tender, supple, and restored.
**Organic Essential Oil Blend - The blend in Holly Belle’s Candy Cane is a cheerful harmony of Peppermint and Sweet Orange, capturing the magic of Southern Christmas mornings. The peppermint brings that cool, candy-cane crispness — like stepping outside to a frosty dawn that tingles against your skin — while the sweet orange softens it with a touch of warmth and sunshine, like light pouring through the kitchen window. Together, they create a scent that’s both refreshing and cozy — bright enough to wake the spirit, yet comforting enough to feel like home. It’s winter cheer bottled in simplicity — fresh, clean, and unmistakably Southern.
**Organic & Natural Clays & Botanicals - The soft pink and cream hues of Holly Belle’s Candy Cane come to life through a gentle blend of White Kaolin Clay, Arrowroot Powder, and a delicate swirl of French Pink Clay. Each ingredient was chosen for more than beauty — they lend the soap its silky texture and skin-loving richness. White Kaolin brings a smooth, creamy lather that soothes and softens, while Arrowroot helps the bar glide with a powdery finish that leaves skin refreshed, not dry. The French Pink Clay adds that subtle blush tone — like peppermint cream kissed with winter sunset — creating a bar that’s as elegant as it is nostalgic. Natural, simple, and festive — just the way Southern winter skincare ought to be.
*Natural Sodium Lactate - a natural, liquid salt derived from the fermentation of sugars, often from corn or beets. In soap making, it plays a vital role in producing a firm, long-lasting bar by hardening the soap. Beyond structural benefits, sodium lactate also helps retain moisture, ensuring the soap remains gentle and nourishing on the skin. It's a must-have ingredient for achieving a creamy, luxurious texture without compromising quality or performance.
***Each cold-processed soap is created through the traditional saponification process, which transforms natural oils into soap using our raw goat milk and lye (sodium hydroxide) or distilled water. This essential process binds the oils and lye, resulting in a gentle yet powerful cleansing bar. Once fully cured, no lye remains in the final product—only pure, skin-friendly soap that effectively cuts through grease while being safe and natural for everyday use. Please also note, each bar may differ a bit in color, shape and size, and are cured for at least 4 to 6 weeks to ensure a harder, longer-lasting bar with a rich, creamy lather. This extended curing time allows excess moisture to evaporate, resulting in a milder, more effective soap that cleans beautifully while remaining gentle on your skin. A well-cured soap bar not only lasts longer but also improves in quality over time, providing the best possible experience with every use.
Directions for Use: Lather the bar between your hands or on a washcloth with warm water. Massage onto damp skin and rinse clean. For longer-lasting bars, store soap on a well-draining soap dish and allow it to dry between uses. Perfect for: Daily face and body use, especially for those who love earthy, detoxifying, and visually striking soaps.
