About this Product
The Happy Graduate is celebrating Graduation Day! Choose from the male or female image, then select your choice of soap color & scent. The bar portion of this soap can be all white or it can be 2-toned with the bottom bar layer coordinating with the color of the Graduate image. (Refer to photos for examples) The Graduate is made with clear Glycerin soap which produces vivid, bright colors. To bring out that bright color, I chose to surround it with the White soap. The soap bar is made with white, shea butter soap which produces soft, subdued color hues. Example: Red becomes a Pink color when mixed with the white shea butter soap. There is a slight increase in price for the 2 toned soap bar due to the time involved in this process.

Meet the Maker
Hi! My name is Karen Yerger: I reside in a small central Pennsylvania town named Jersey Shore. I am a mother of 3, grandmother of 2. Recently retired after a 45-year career as a Registered Nurse, I found an outlet for my creative energy through handmade soap making. My store is named Soft Embrace, describing the feeling when using my soap product. The luxurious lather & softness of the shea butter soap blend is like a soft embrace. I offer numerous soap designs & customer options, creating a personalized gift for all ages.
How it’s Made
Using your choices of soap colors & scents, I first make the Graduate image using the clear glycerin soap. This produces bright, vivid color hues. The soap bar portion can be all White, or 2-toned. If you desire 2-toned, the bottom soap layer will be a lighter color hue of Graduate image. (Colors mixed with the White shea butter soap result in softer color hues). I will first pour the colored soap layer and allow that to partially harden. Then I will place the Graduate image on top of the colored soap layer. I then pour the White soap until it almost reaches the top of the Graduate image. If desiring the all-White soap bar, this is still done in 2 stages as described above. The first soap layer must support the Graduate image before adding the second soap layer.
Shop Policies
Processing Time: 3-5 business days. I will notify you when your order ships. I cannot guarantee USPS shipping times. Upgrade to Priority Shipping if product is needed faster. At times, I may need to message you to clarify order details after you place an order. Please respond in a prompt manner, otherwise, I may need to make that decision for you so that I can proceed with your order and ship on time.
Return Policy: Due to personalization of my products, I do not accept returns. If there was an error made on your order in your personalized details requested (i.e. wrong scent, color), I will work with you to correct the error.
Care Instructions: Soaps should be kept tightly wrapped in their clear bags until use. Store in a cool, dry area. No Not Refrigerate! Due to the high glycerin content in my soaps, you may occasionally see a fine, white powder material on the soaps. This is harmless and will not affect use of the soap. Avoid humid environments.
FAQ's: I often receive questions regarding fragrance oils/scents. Please feel free to message me for additional details on fragrances. Sometimes a scent name does not detail the contents in the fragrance oils. I can provide details on the components of each fragrance oil.
I attach Gift Tag options (in photos) with most soap designs. If you require a Gift Tag for a different event theme (perhaps you desire Baby Shower theme instead of Birthday), please message me. I will provide you with appropriate options. I am able design gift tags to coordinate with your event theme if you provide me with details. I will do the best that I can to meet your expectations.
Soap Colors: Please note that soap colors will vary between photos and soap batches. I have numerous soap colors available and am able to take customer requests. I will do my best to fulfill those requests.
Packaging Options: I offer numerous packaging options for my soaps to assist you with your event/gifting. I have several sizes of gift boxes, bakery boxes (for soaps resembling sweet treats), reusable Holiday themed gift bags, organza gift bags in several colors & sizes.
