Every seasonal soap collection we create begins with a place, a feeling, and a season. For our Summer 2026 Soap Collection, inspiration came from right outside our door here in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina.
Summer in the mountains has a way of slowing you down. The mornings are cool and misty. Wildflowers bloom along winding roads and hiking trails. Afternoon thunderstorms roll across the ridges, leaving behind fresh, earthy air. Creeks run clear and cold, and the forests are alive with every shade of green imaginable.
We wanted to capture those moments in soap form.
Inspired by the Blue Ridge Mountains
At Cullowheegee Farms, nearly every product we make is influenced by the natural beauty surrounding us. The mountains provide endless inspiration—not just for scents and colors, but for the entire experience we want our products to create.
Our Summer 2026 Natural Body Soap Collection is a reflection of some of our favorite parts of mountain summers:
Fresh air after a summer rain
Layers of blue mountain ridges stretching to the horizon
Wild roses blooming along trails and country roads
Cooling aloe and herbs growing in summer gardens
Bright citrus scents that feel like sunshine in a bar of soap
Each soap tells a different part of that story.
Few things are more refreshing than the smell of a summer rainstorm moving through the mountains.
Rainwashed was inspired by those moments when dark clouds roll over the ridges, followed by the clean, crisp scent that lingers after the rain passes. A blend of eucalyptus, lavender, lemongrass, and cedarwood essential oils creates a fresh, airy aroma that feels both calming and invigorating.
It's the scent of stepping outside after the storm and taking a deep breath.
If you've ever looked across the Blue Ridge Mountains on a summer morning, you've seen the layers of soft blue ridges fading into the distance.
Blue Ridge Bar was created to celebrate that iconic mountain landscape. Beautiful blue layers mirror the rolling peaks, while eucalyptus, lemongrass, balsam fir, and cedarwood essential oils capture the feeling of fresh mountain air and evergreen forests.
Mountain summers bring an abundance of blooms, from cultivated garden flowers to wild blossoms growing along roadsides and trails.
Wild Rose was inspired by the delicate beauty of wild roses found throughout the region. This floral bar features a blend of rose, geranium, lavender, jasmine, and cedarwood essential oils for a soft, balanced scent that feels both elegant and grounded in nature.
Some seasonal favorites deserve a return.
Aloe & Oat is back for another summer because customers love its soothing, skin-loving ingredients. Made with fresh aloe vera, colloidal oats, French green clay, alfalfa, and a calming blend of lavender, blue chamomile, and spearmint essential oils, this bar was inspired by the healing plants often found in summer gardens.
It's a gentle reminder that nature often provides exactly what our skin needs.
Summer is bright, energetic, and full of sunshine.
Lemon Poppy Scrub captures that feeling with a cheerful blend of citrus essential oils and exfoliating poppy seeds. The bright scent and gentle scrub make it a perfect companion for busy summer days spent gardening, hiking, traveling, or simply enjoying the outdoors.
It's sunshine wrapped up in a bar of soap.
Crafted the Cullowheegee Farms Way
Like all of our soaps, every bar in the Summer 2026 Collection is handcrafted in small batches using nourishing plant-based ingredients. We formulate each recipe with skin-loving oils and butters, scent them exclusively with pure essential oils, and color them naturally with clays, botanicals, and mineral-rich ingredients.
You'll never find synthetic fragrances, synthetic colorants, palm oil, or unnecessary fillers in our soaps.
Just simple ingredients inspired by nature.
