Welcome to Vigil Soaps, a small corner of the web dedicated to quality hand-crafted soaps, bath teas, spa soaks, salt and sugar scrubs, milk baths, bath salts, and many other bath items designed to help aid in relaxing your body while caring for your skin! Although our name has changed (formerly Heather's Heavenly Scents), our products, ownership, and level of quality have stayed the same.

Here at Vigil Soaps we try to be as environmentally friendly as possible, and avoid issues of animal cruelty where we can. Many products sold here are completely safe for vegan use as they are free of animal products and are marked as such. We also encourage you to reuse/recycle any plastic or glass containers you receive from us -- we offer refill kits at discounted prices for any plastic or glass containers you receive from us when purchasing items (our milk bath and bath salts are excellent examples).

We are currently located in Cincinnati, OH. This announcement is a little late coming as the move happened about a year ago. We should be back to full capacity by the end of 2011, and we look forward to doing business with you!

Our local showings are now permanently over at the Harrison Avenue Marketplace. We enjoyed the last Fall season we had there. Vigil Soaps is no longer partnered with Quetzal Candles in New Orleans, but we do have another candle-supplier who uses the same wax and fragrances, so candle and soap combinations for gift baskets, or even just candle orders, are still available. I am not currently aware of whether or not Quetzal Candles is still running in New Orleans or not, but the end of our partnership was strictly related to distance issues when Vigil Soaps relocated to Ohio. We still love their products and encourage you to continue to do business with them!

At this time we only offer shipping via Priority Mail from the United States Postal Service, and only within the United States and its territories. Other countries will be added in time as we figure out the costs and customs issues. Large orders may require additional shipping charges beyond what is posted at check-out. If this is the case, you will be contacted and the charges will be adjusted manually. This measure is being taken to protect the soaps during the shipping process as large orders of decorative soaps being shipped in one package can result in warping or malformation of the bars. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. At this time, we can safely package up to 25 decorative bars per box. We are certain any orders exceeding this number will require additional packaging to protect the quality of the designs, and thus will have additional shipping charges that will be added and charged before the items are shipped.

It can take up to a week for your order to be processed and shipped after you place it; larger orders may take longer and we will contact you if this is the case. Certain items have limited stock due to the time required to make them, if this is the case the amount available will be posted on the page with the appropriate item.

We only accept payments via Paypal, which offers a safe and secure online transaction, keeping your credit card information confidential.

If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact Heather by using the e-mail link on the menu.

We hope you find what you are seeking here at Vigil Soaps!
