This is one bar of our  handmade SPA Sulphur Mineral Soaps,  made with Natural SPA Sulphur Mineral waters from the local hot springs. For hundreds of years, people have used these natural hot springs for health purposes. Many Indian tribes came to use these mineral waters to heal their sick. The chemistry of these mineral waters has frequently been praised and often compared to the Baden-Baden, a famous Spa in Germany, and it is said that these mineral waters are far superior. We have chilled the SPA Sulphur Mineral water, to remove the sulphur aroma, and used the water to make our Special SPA Sulphur Mineral Soap. We've used the finest oils in our homemade soaps which are then fragranced with high end fragrance and essential oils. These SPA Sulphur Mineral Soaps are named for local areas in Montana, and they can also be private labeled for your special needs.
 
Sulphur has been used to treat skin for some 500 years to combat conditions including acne, fungal infections, psoriasis, scabies and eczema.  Sulphur was often the active agent in many of the so-called 'patent medicines' that became popular in the mid-19th century.  Sulphur in soap works to break down the composition of whiteheads and blackheads. Used as a topical treatment in soaps sulphur may ease the inflammation and itching of some skin disorders.  Though there is no cure for rosacea, the symptoms can be controlled to some extent by using soap bars that are made from sulphur.  Dermatologists also suggest the use of sulphur soap for scabies. Scabies is a parasitic skin infection caused by microscopic mites. It can spread through person-to-person contact. The symptoms of scabies include severe itching and skin rashes. Most anti-scabies medications use sulphur as an ingredient. Sulphur kills these mites and the use of sulphur-based skin care products help in successful treatment of scabies. It has been seen that six weeks of application of the soap is required for the scabies rash to heal.

Copperopolis is a oatmeal, milk and honey scent. Not a bakery type scent with overwhelming sweetness, but the earth scent of oatmeal, the balance of rich milk anf a touch of honey.  Made in small batches with rich oils and our local SPA Sulphur Mineral water, cold process soaps are then cured to make our soaps the best handmade soaps around. Cured soaps weigh approximately 4.5 to 5 ounces each.
 
Copperopolis served originally as a stage station. It was halfway between White Sulphur Springs and Martinsdale. In 1866 copper veins were discovered in the area north of the Castle Mountains and started attracting attention as a mining center. The deepest shafts ran to 550 feet however, much of the ore was recovered close to the grass roots. Hauling costs were extremely expensive until a railroad was built in Martinsdale in 1896  

Copperopolis developed into a family town containing a general store, livery stable, blacksmith shop, barber shop, boarding house, restaurant, and bunkhouses. During the first nine months of operation a quarter of a million dollars was uncovered from the mines. In 1901 Copper export prices were cut in half due to the depression in Germany. The mines were forced to close down in 1903 and the families moved away. A story goes that two men remained in town but hated each other. They even visited the town spring at different times to avoid each other.

In 1915 attempts were made to homestead the land. All of the buildings have been torn down except for one cabin. The lumber was hauled away. What remains is a true ghost town.  We proudly display the Made in Montana sticker on our soaps.
