The Shield Maiden - Lingonberry and Spice Signature Soap
This handmade lingonberry and spice signature soap includes olive oil, activated charcoal, and phthalate-free fragrance and essential oils.
The Lore
Old Norse sagas, history, and mythology tell of shield maidens, women trained in the art of combat and known for courage and skill in battle. Often depicted wearing armor and carrying shields, they were respected as fierce warriors. The most famous shield maiden is likely Lagertha, who evidently fought alongside the Viking hero, Ragnar Lothbrok.
The Shield Maiden is a natural, food-based soap which honors those brave Norse and Viking warrior women. Just as the shield maidens protected themselves and others, this bold and beautiful soap protects and nourishes the skin.
The Lather
The Shield Maiden Lingonberry and Spice Signature Soap is handmade with a unique blend of natural oils and ingredients, carefully selected for their moisturizing and cleansing properties. Not only will it make you feel great, but it also looks fantastic, with vibrant streaks of blood red and rich black evoking the spirit of the battlefield. We created these striking colors using ethical mica and activated charcoal.
Designed to rejuvenate and embolden your warrior spirit, this lingonberry and spice signature soap will transport you to a wintry Scandinavian forest.

For maximum use please make sure to store your soap in a space that it can fully dry between uses.
I have sensitive skin that gets irritated easily, however Birds of Valhalla has always produced soap that doesn't trigger anything. Additionally the scent of the Shield Maiden soap isn't overwhelmingly sweet, but I appreciate in a soap. It lathers easily when wet making it overall just easier to use.
I just recently got this one in particular after wanting it for almost a year. Absolutely worth every cent. The scent is very fruity, and juicy with just a hint of spice~ it is so luscious! Also, I don’t think I even need anything extra to make my bathroom smell amazing, the soap just existing in there makes the whole room smell delicious! 11/10 will buy this one again.
Can’t wait for my sister-in-law to like her gift
My fiance loves this. It came as a sample one time, and my fiance prefers it over anything else now.
I love the shield maiden scent, I have it in the diffuser and solid perfume so I had to try the soap. I love it, i got the coconut free variety and it left my skin feeling clean and not too dry like others tend to for me.
