Hartley Soap is a small, woman-owned company, with a passion for soapmaking.
I am dedicated to creating the finest handmade artisan soap, balm, butters and lovely sundries.
My soaps are made using the tried and true Cold Process method which is similar to the way it's been done for hundreds of years. A process which takes four weeks for each and every bar!
This project has been a labor of love, so come on in, stay a bit and look around, try some honest to goodness real, pure soap.
The FAQ's
The only animal product's Hartley soap uses is cruelty free tussah silk and local honey and beeswax, We selected our honey supplier carefully, who harvests ethically and cares for their bees.
There is no animal testing at Hartley Soap, we use pure food-grade vegetable oils in all base formulations... never any animal fats. We use all-natural raw materials the best pure vegetable oils and rich butters
We use both fragrance oils and essential oils in our soapmaking. We offer soaps with fragrance oils in order to provide a greater selection to the consumer.
Some of our soaps may contain natural herbs and spices, such as chamomile flowers, coffee grounds, rosehips, oatmeal etc. We list our ingredients on each bar of soap.
Caring for you soap:
Handmade artisan soap is the best thing for your skin and if cared for properly will last as long or longer than store brought soap. There is nothing difficult about it. With a little effort, your soap will remain a joy to use. Read on to learn how.
Rinse your soap after use to get all the excess lather off of it and place it in a dry location on the draining soap dish. Soap up the loofah or Wash Cloth with the soap rather than scrubbing your body with it.
Buy ahead. Buy the soap and unwrap it. Place it in a dresser drawer for a couple of weeks before you use it. This will give the soap extra drying time and make your drawers smell great.Unused and well-stored bars will keep for years, but their scents and colors will likely fade.
Why handcrafted soaps?
I suppose I could tell you what you can find most any where on the internet or in books or for that matter on just about any soap makers site and its simple, really.
Your skin is your largest organ and you may not want to put commercial soaps on it, generally speaking, most commercial soaps are actually (and legally) considered detergents, or Syndet bars and simply referred to as soap due to their cleansing capabilities. Syndet bar is an acronym for Synthetic Detergent bar.made from petroleum products. The same soap making principles and practices apply but the petroleum products form a barrier and they are actually detergents, not soap.
Another benefit of handcrafted soap is that glycerin, a natural by-product of the soap making process, is retained. This is a good thing as glycerin attracts moisture and therefore is good for our skin. Commercial soap makers harvest the glycerin from the soap because it is quite valuable and is used in other products like lotions and face creams.
Why choose my soap?
At Hartley soap we believe that simple is better.
Our process is simple, our business structure is simple, and our packaging is simple.
Even the way we cut and cure our soaps is simple. Because these soaps are made in very small batches and hand cut, you will notice variations from batch to batch.
They are cured for a minimum of 4 weeks before they are sold. This allows all of the ingredients to be completely saponified (absorbed) into the oils, producing a gentle, richly lathering soap.
