Apple Valley Natural Soap (AVNS), the Minnesota-based, family-owned creator of handcrafted natural soaps and skin & hair care products, announced the launch of its Dorm Essentials Back-to-School Bundle, a limited-time, limited-quantity collection designed specifically for students heading off to college this fall. Available now at applevalleynaturalsoap.com, the bundle pairs AVNS's best-selling, handmade bar-format essentials at a special back-to-school price, offering new students (and the parents shopping for them) an easy, affordable way to pack clean, natural care into even the smallest dorm bathroom or shower caddy.
Unlike bottled shampoos, body washes, and lotions, AVNS's bar-based products are built for exactly the kind of life a college student is about to live: no spills, no shattering, no liquid limits, ideal for packing, shipping, or flying to campus; space-saving for cramped dorm bathrooms and shared shower caddies; long-lasting, a single bar can outlast several bottles of liquid product, saving money over a semester; no plastic bottle clutter left behind at move-out, move-in, or on a shared bathroom shelf; and simple, readable ingredients, with nourishing plant oils and botanicals, and nothing harsh or unnecessary for skin already adjusting to new water, new stress, and new routines.
“College is the first time a lot of students are picking their own products instead of using what's in the family bathroom,” said Marianne, owner of Apple Valley Natural Soap. “We wanted to make it simple to start that on the right foot - with something handmade, natural, and genuinely good for their skin and hair, not just easy to grab off a shelf.”
The Dorm Essentials Bundle includes a curated set of AVNS best-sellers with selection options: a full-size Shampoo & Body Bar (one bar, many uses), a Face & Body Soap Bar (created to nourish a variety of skin types), a Naturally Moisturizing Lip Balm with organic ingredients, a Salve for bumps, bruises, insect bites, or any skin issues, and an eco-friendly soap mat which helps extend the life of any soap bar. All AVNS products are handcrafted in small batches using natural, cruelty-free, and Made-in-USA ingredients.
For families looking for something more gift-worthy, AVNS has added the option to have these products packaged in a “Send-Off” Gift Box - a beautifully packaged version of the same college-ready essentials, perfect for a going-away gift, care package, or last hug before drop-off. Because each bar is handmade in small batches and cured for weeks before it's ready to sell, AVNS's back-to-school offerings are produced in limited quantities. Once this run sells out, it will not be restocked before the fall semester begins. Shoppers who spend $45 or more also qualify for free shipping, and AVNS's ongoing Loyalty Program lets returning customers earn points on every back-to-school purchase.
The Dorm Essentials Bundle and Send-Off Gift Box are available now, online at applevalleynaturalsoap.com, and in person at the AVNS Boutique (3825 Cedar Grove Parkway, Suite 1102, Eagan, MN 55122). Given limited inventory, AVNS encourages shoppers to order early to guarantee availability before students head to campus.
