Don't Eat the Soap at the Farmers Market

Customers are lathering, rinsing and getting hungry at the with Sprezzatura's natural made soaps in the form of cake. Although it looks good enough to eat, its creator, Sherene Popa, asserts that the main ingredient in this cake is soap.

"I thought this stuff looked so cute it would be so perfect for a bridal shower," said Chatsworth resident Alanna Garman. "I dont think the guests would know whether to eat it or what, but it's gorgeous."

Traditional bar soap is also available at the stall, as are shower steamers, lip balms and lotions. All items contain natural ingredients and contain no added chemicals.

"The soaps are all preservative free, they are made with organic oils," says Popa. "The soaps that we make that have fragrance oils are made with phalate-free and nitro-musk free fragrances, so that means they are okay to use on younger people's skin, delicate skin."

"The rosemary mint, it's amazing, it smells really really good," said Mary Jane Almeda, a resident of Porter Ranch who was at the market.

The Chatsworth Farmers Market operates Saturdays, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., on the grounds of Holy Shepherd Lutheran Church, 10347 Mason Ave.
