SO FRESH AND SO CLEAN, CLEAN As the growing season draws to a close, we look for a way—any way—to keep the essence of fresh produce in our lives. Thanks to David Melis, we can experience it every morning. Five years ago he started Edgewater Soaps, a company that produces soaps without any chemicals or animal by-products. His Fresh Cucumber soap, made with local organic cukes, is like bathing in cucumber water, but his “Kitchen Special” is perhaps the most appropriate for fall. It’s packed with coffee, a scrubbing agent that’s particularly adept at removing the smell of garlic, onions and all those other autumn ingredients that smell a lot better simmering away on the stove than they do on your hands. Edgewater Soaps’ bars, liquid soaps and bath bombs, $6–$12, at Edgewater Farmers’ Market (Broadway and Norwood St). Sat 7am–noon
