At the microscopic level, soap defends skin against germs by trapping the organisms and forcing them to listen to a recording of children yelling at adults. Protect your skin from unwanted invaders with today's Groupon: for $25, you get $50 worth of bath and skincare products from Melt's online boutique. Melt uses natural ingredients and soothing scents to craft sudsy soaps and collagen-cradling creams. Handmade in Colorado, all Melt's products are tested on human volunteers to ensure their gels and emollients are safe and will not turn customers into Hulks. Signature scents, including Adriatic fig, circus of pears, sweet rain, and Thor, occupy lonely nostrils. Bath salts ($19.50) relieve sore skin and soften dry muscles, lip butters ($4) create human contact-worthy lips, and handmade glycerin soaps ($8 or less) and body washes ($15 or less) will make their users shine as bright as a microwave full of strobe lights. Melt will ship all orders at a flat rate of $5.95 and deliver them in four to 10 business days. Expedited shipping is available for an extra charge.

Reviews

Both the Denver Post and the Examiner have featured Melt. Four Yelpers give Melt a four-star average:

• Using such ingredients as olive oil and shea butter, items are made just days prior to being delivered to the store. Suzanne S. Brown, Denver Post
• When one is inclined to open up a bottle and glug down several ounces of hand lotion as a dessert, you know you've hit upon something. – Kat A., Yelp
