Gorgeous display of Hugo Naturals’ Artisan Soaps at my local Whole Foods Market:
All of the soaps not only looked gorgeous, but they smelled delicious! I really wanted one of each! What I purchased was the Oatmeal Mint, which you can see below. Each of the soaps, no matter which you chose, were weighed for you at the check-out register, and were US $1.39 per oz. I purchased the humungous hunk that is pictured with the sign in it (my total was $17.44).
The Artisan Soaps are currently only available from select retailers or a special order directly from Hugo Naturals. Their website is currently being redesigned to include more information on their Artisan Program. The new website should be launching any day now, so watch for that!
Hugo Naturals
Debra and Hugo Saavedra founded Hugo Naturals in 2006. Their mission statement: “Our passion is to enhance people’s lives by making the safest, most natural and luxurious body care available.”
They succeeded by creating natural personal care products that are luxurious without the use of petro chemicals, parabens, artificial fragrance or colors, sulfates, or phenoxyethanol The entire line is Vegan, Gluten-free, Soy-free, and Cruelty-free. The certification for gluten-free is by the Celiac Sprue Association, the largest Celiac organization in the U.S. They’re certified cruelty-free by the Coalition for Consumer Information on Ingredients (LeapingBunny.org), the organization that I have written in detail about in yesterday’s post.
All of the products are made in the United States, and each batch is made by hand. As you can see from the pictures, that only adds to the beauty of the soap!
The Hugo Naturals oatmeal mint soap that I purchased gives a great moisturizing lather, and has an amazing scent due to the use of 100% natural essential oils and botanical extracts. Instead of using water or alcohols in their extracts, they use kosher vegetable glycerin as a base.
There are also no chemical preservatives used. They are all-natural!

Have you ever tried Pureology Salon Hair Products? They are 100% Vegan, cruelty free, they use organic botanicals, Zero sulfates, they utilize post consumer recycled and recyclable packaging as well as support the Global Green initiative. And the bonus…my hair doesn’t feel like straw when I’m done.
No, I haven’t. Thank you so much for the for the suggestion. That’s great!! x Also, Hooray for Zen Dog Rescue (a Non-profit 501(c)3 Organization!!) I thank you and my 2 dogs would give you a Woof!! x
I make my own soaps, but I can’t help but buy them too. I haven’t tried any from Hugo…not yet at least. That chunk of soap will last you for quite some time.

Brittany, we all know you’re multi-talented. I’ve never made my own soap! That’s why you need a bodyguard to do your beauty shopping (CVS video still makes me smile.) Thank you for coming to visit my blog! x
