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.
 
Ringling SPA Sulphur Soap is a fragrant bar of soap which leaves the scent of a rich lemon verbena blend. This fragrance has a zesty and sharp but not bitter lemon scent, with a green "note" coming from the verbena. An all around clean and favorite scent.

Yes, Ringling was named for one of the Ringling Bros. of circus fame. John Ringling was also the president and builder of the Yellowstone Park and White Sulphur Springs Railroad which eventually became a branch of the Milwaukee railroad. The Ringlings at one time owned over 100,000 acres in the area and at one time contemplated establishing a circus headquarters here. Ringling was a bustling little town with several businesses as a junction for White Sulphur Springs transfer customers.

After several devastating fires, the last in 1931, and the demise of the railroads Ringling dwindled to a few people and the surrounding ranches. Today it has a post office, school,  restaurant and bar.

The town was immortalized by Jimmy Buffet when he wrote of the town in his song Ringling, Ringling on the Living and Dying in Three Quarter Time album. And yes, Livingston Saturday Night was about Livingston, Montana down the road a piece.
