If you’ve not yet experienced STEM,
stop by the Van Aken store and sniff the
soap – still STEM’s bestselling product –
and see which scents call to you. Don’t miss
the small sink in the center of the store
where there are several scented sugar
scrubs to try on your hands. (I chose lemon
verbena, and I couldn’t help but take a
whiff every so often for the next couple
of hours.) STEM also runs demonstrations
on the Market Hall stage as well as private
soap-making classes. To keep up on all the
happenings, customers can follow STEM on
Facebook and Instagram (@stemsoaps) or
sign up for the monthly STEM newsletter
at stemsoaps.com. SL
