In Norse mythology, shield maidens were women who were trained in the art of combat and were known for their bravery and skill on the battlefield. They were often depicted as wearing armor and carrying shields, and were considered to be fierce warriors. The most famous shield maiden in Norse mythology is likely Lagertha, who was said to have fought alongside the legendary Viking hero, Ragnar Lothbrok.

The name "The Shield Maiden" for this soap is a nod to the bravery and strength associated with these legendary women warriors. Just as the shield maidens were known for their ability to protect themselves and others, this soap is designed to protect and nourish the skin.
