New York City based The Falcon Soaperie is pleased to announce its natural, handcrafted soaps will be included in celebrity swag bags at GBK’s Luxury Gift Lounge for the 2013 Academy Awards. The Gift Lounge takes place February 22-23, 2013 in Beverly Hills, California.

Oscars Swag from The Falcon Soaperie

Online PR News – 19-February-2013 –New York City based The Falcon Soaperie is pleased to announce its natural, handcrafted soaps will be included in celebrity swag bags at GBK’s Luxury Gift Lounge in Honor of the 2013 Academy Awards Nominees & Presenters. The Gift Lounge takes place February 22-23, 2013 in Beverly Hills, California.

The company is including in the Oscars swag bags its black box pouch set, which contains three signature products: a sample-size Vanilla Body Milkshake, a full-size Peppermint Essential Oil and Sea Salt Soap Puff and a full-size Bentonite Clay and Ground Pumice Soap Bar. The products come in an individually handcrafted black fabric box pouch with eco-felt padding and black fabric lining.

“For the GBK Oscars Gift Lounge, I chose products from The Falcon Soaperie line that have proven appeal for both men and women, scent and non-scent lovers alike,” said Jessica Falcon, owner and founder of The Falcon Soaperie. “This collection reflects the Falcon Soaperie approach, which is all about well thought out, highly functional soaps with a touch of elegance.”

Falcon has fashioned her business on the belief that consumers appreciate a well-edited collection of products that function perfectly, over myriad product choices. “I’ve limited the Falcon Soaperie line to soap bars and puffs, massage oils, natural perfumes and to round things out, our popular soy candles and body milkshakes (bath oils)” said Falcon. “I offer limited products that are simple but perfectly crafted for customers to want to come back for more.”

Falcon has come up with inviting, effective ingredient combinations that work for many needs and tastes. A customer favorite is the “Caribbean Holiday” soap bar, which smells like coconut, vanilla and cinnamon and contains actual coconut milk and a touch of Jose Cuervo tequila, because, Falcon smiles, “I will always save the rum.” Men turn to the Bay Rum scented “His” Bar and Moms love the “Baby Oatmeal Soap Bar.” No matter the product, Falcon makes sure the packaging is as appealing as the contents within.

Falcon began making natural soap to use on her daughter’s delicate skin. She found the process fascinating and founded The Falcon Soaperie in 2010. Falcon creates her soaps in small batches out of her home soap kitchen, but only when she is completely free of distractions. “Soap making may look simple,” she notes, “but it is a precise art of chemistry that requires the soap maker’s undivided attention.”

The Falcon Soaperie is also home to the original soap puffs. With names like “Pretty in Pumice,” this signature product is helping the company stand out in a nearly saturated soap crafting market. ”I make each soap puff individually without molds and with the purpose of fitting better in the palm of the hand for greater gripping and even greater exfoliation,” commented Falcon. “The soap puffs are my way of carving out a niche in the ‘not so small’ world of soap crafting.”

A Momtrepreneur with a degree in psychology, Falcon believes her success as an independent business owner will inspire her daughter to do great things and said her own inspiration comes from her husband, a marine, NYPD police officer and Afghanistan war veteran.

In addition to participating in the 2013 Oscars Gift Lounge, Falcon gifted the Press at the 2013 Golden Globes. Her soaps are in the hands of actress Mariska Hargitay (“Law & Order: Special Victims Unit”) and she is preparing a special collection of products for inclusion in The Artisan Group’s collective gift bag in honor of Earth Day 2013, which will go to eco-conscious celebrities including Hayden Panettiere, Ginnifer Goodwin, Edward Norton, Adrian Grenier and many others.

The Falcon Soaperie products are available exclusively online at www.TheFalconSoaperie.com.
