Back in November, The Bee reintroduced Louise Dutton (pictured), who back in November relaunched her Bella Soap Company, which is based out of her home in Loomis.
She's scaled back her operation and is concentrating - for now - on her Bella Dry Skin Formula, which, according to Dutton, is the No. 1-selling soap for folks dealing with eczema and/or dry and sensitive skin.
It's sold at several local independent pharmacies and health food stores, including Main Drug Store, Sunrise Natural Foods and Elliott's Natural Foods.
Louise e-mailed me to say the response to her new-and-improved dry skin soap has been incredible.
"We have had so many parents tell us the itching, scratching and bleeding has stopped," she says.
So what better week (before Valentine's Day) to return the love to those loyal customers. Today, from 3 to 6 p.m., Louise will be at Knott's Pharmacy (4819 J St.) in East Sacramento to give away a free bar of soap to the first 25 customers. In addition, Knott's will offer 25 percent off the retail price of the soap today through Feb. 23. It sells for between $4.89 and $6.89.
FYI: The National Eczema Association will feature Bella Soap Company in its quarterly newsletter.
