Lepus the Hare (Lepus is Latin for "hare") is a constellation that appears just below the feet of Orion the Hunter. It is often depicted as being hunted across the night sky by Orion and his dog (Canis Major) in an endless chase. In Greek mythology, Hermes, The Messenger of the Gods, is said to have placed Lepus in the sky to commemorate the great speed and agility of hares. Another story tells of how Lepus was once a bird who was changed into a hare by Ostara, the Goddess of Spring. Once a year the hare was allowed to lay eggs, this is the origin of the Easter Bunny. The word Easter is derived from Ostara (the Anglo-Saxon Eostre). Thus why our Lepus bars are adorable pastel colored Easter eggs! Lepus is packaged in simple white organza bags with cute Easter themed tags - the perfect addition to any Easter basket, for kids of all ages!
We've scented these fun, seasonal bars in a sophisticated marriage of juicy apricot and fresh freesia. We're truly obsessed with this scent!

Lepus Artisan Botanical Soap
Handmade soaps need to breathe! We recommend storing your soap on a slatted or free draining soap dish so that it can air dry in between uses.
- Remove botanical toppings prior to use.
- Don't allow your soap to sit in a puddle of water.
- Use a wash cloth, loofah or soap saver bag to extend the life of your soap bar.
- Use your soap bar within one year of purchase. I know they're pretty to look at, but they're intended to be used so enjoy them! :)
- Store unused soap out of direct sunlight and away from extreme temperature fluctuations and high humidity conditions.
- You may experience colored lather with dark or brightly colored bars; however, no permanent staining should occur.
- Discontinue use if irritation occurs
- Soaps are for external use only & are not edible
