Gift Pick No. 15: Made by DWC all-natural soaps

Share

The inexpensive all-natural soaps made by the women in the Downtown Women’s Center are ideal for the person who has everything and doesn’t really want anything else.

Think about it: Give a sweet orange or lavender soap from Made by DWC and it will literally disappear, adding nothing to the recipient’s uncluttered life other than some soothing aromatherapy.

The soaps are made in the back room of the Made by DWC boutique and cafe in downtown Los Angeles. Scented with essential oils, they are created in small batches from organic materials such as mango butter and olive oil.
