Clarity Soaps & Candles

The black leather candles are waaaay Harley/Davidson.
They will offer to wrap your purchases in a a gift basket for no extra charge. The staff is friendly and the place is small and full of fun things.

Always worth a visit.

Clarity Soap and Candles sells home-made candles and bath/body products. Lots of wonderful scents to choose from. They also feature a cute little area more...

I once got lost trying to find my new place in San Diego and found some shopping area in Southpark. I decided to scope it out. I went into this place expecting a country cute extravaganza of old lady stereotypes, instead I found a couple down to earth ladies and not one teddy bear holding a sign. I also found tons of soap that didn't have non-descriptive names like Mountain Fresh or some other ridiculous garbage. They named their stuff after what it smelled like! And what's even better is that they smell like actually has that stuff in it! Seeing as how I've always managed to associate with vegetarians, vegans, and other weird hippie DIYers, I thought that this might make some good presents for them because A) The stuff's au natural; B) I'm poor and the stuff's cheap and C) They put the stuff into decorated gift baskets which made me look like I am the most thoughtful guy on the planet. I like it when others make me look good, thanks Clarity! I just looked and they have a website, too! www.claritysoapandcandles.com. check 'em out, these ladies rule.

PROS: parking, cheap, smells good!
CONS: Everyone gives me a list when I go there.

Clarity Soap and Candles is one of my favorite places to stop when I am in San Diego county. They provide great customer service along with quality products. I have sensitive skin and I have been using their soap since they opened It's the only soap I'll use, for me and my family! They have a special baby bar and a soap just for pets. Their signature candles are beautifully made, long-lasting, and the wicks are lead-free. Their signature facial lotion is by far the best lotion I've ever used. It's the only thing that protects my skin against the dry desert winters. They provide gift baskets upon request for just about any occasion. They also have darling baby products, unique gift cards and reasonable prices (especially when you factor in that many of their products are all natural!).

A cutesy little bath shop in Southpark run by a couple of really nice ladies. Its a little on the expensive side (around four bucks for a cake of soap!) but definitely high quality. There are a ton of different scents, but it tends to be a little on the perfumey side. A lot of interesting products as well, such as tea bags for your bath. They will give you a free bag of potpouri as well if you recycle old candles there. Girls looooove this store!
