“Rustic Christmas captures the scent of the holidays — warm cedar, crisp fir, and the comfort of home.”

The Rustic Christmas Bar — A Cozy Tradition in Every Bar

Some scents feel like memories — like walking through a fresh-cut pine grove with a mug of vanilla coffee in hand,

or trimming the tree on a quiet December night. That’s the spirit behind the Rustic Christmas Bar, a warm and woodsy blend that feels like the holidays without being too heavy.

This bar was created to bring the calm and coziness of the season into your daily routine — grounding, comforting, and just the right hint of festive.

It’s the same creamy, nourishing base you’ve come to love from Brushwood Corners — made with Tallow, Goat’s Milk, Olive Oil, Coconut Oil, Lye, and Castor Oil — but infused with a soft holiday scent that’s both refreshing and timeless.

The Story Behind “Rustic Christmas”

This bar began in the middle of November, while the house smelled like vanilla and the first frost was settling in. I wanted something that felt like a deep breath after a long year — not a sugary Christmas blend, but something simple and real.

As the oils came together, the fragrance filled the air — Fir Needle, Cedarwood, Bergamot, and Vanilla — a mix that reminded me of pine needles under snow, a wooden cabin, and warmth waiting inside.

The bar took on a softly textured, handcrafted finish — true to its name, rustic and natural, with a quiet elegance that makes each one unique.

“Rustic Christmas isn’t just a scent — it’s a feeling. A moment of stillness wrapped in pine and vanilla.”

Ingredients That Bring It to Life

At the heart of every Brushwood Corners bar lies the same recipe — balanced, creamy, and nourishing for the skin.

Ingredients: Tallow, Goat’s Milk, Olive Oil, Coconut Oil, Castor Oil, Lye, Sodium Lactate, Fragrance (Fir Needle, Cedarwood, Bergamot, Vanilla)

Each ingredient carries purpose:

Tallow — rich, conditioning, and long-lasting.
Goat’s Milk — full of natural fats and vitamins for soft, hydrated skin.
Olive Oil — soothes and gently cleanses without stripping.
Coconut Oil — creates a bubbly lather and clean rinse.
Castor Oil — locks in moisture and adds that signature creamy slip.
Sodium Lactate — strengthens and hardens the bar for a smoother, longer cure.

Scent & Experience

Rustic Christmas opens with a bright note of fir needle — crisp, green, and unmistakably festive. Cedarwood adds warmth and grounding depth, while bergamot brings a breath of freshness that lifts the whole blend. A soft finish of vanilla ties it together with sweetness and calm.

The result is a light, natural holiday fragrance — woodsy and clean, with just enough warmth to feel cozy. Each wash feels like a quiet moment by the fire, surrounded by pine, peace, and gratitude.

“A bar that smells like home — familiar, gentle, and full of heart.”
