What's in our soap.....
Most of our soaps are vegetable based, with no animal products. The one exception to this are the soaps that we offer which use beeswax and cruelty free tussah silk. Other than that, our soaps are 100% free of animal products.
Coconut oil
Coconut oil is derived from the meat of the coconut tree. Coconut oil adds moisture to the skin and produces a rich, creamy lather.
Palm Oil
Palm oil is derived from the tropical palm tree. Palm oil is very mild to the skin and produces a firm bar of soap. This oil is cultivated in an environmentally sustainable manner, which in no way contributes to deforestation.
Distilled Water
We use only distilled water in our soapmaking. The water is boiled and allowed to reach room temperature to ensure that we are using only pure water.
Fragrance oils or essential oils?
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.
Additives
Some of our soaps may contain natural herbs and spices, such as chamomile flowers, coffee grounds, rosehips, oatmeal, honey, etc. We list these ingredients on each bar of soap
Handmade Soap Care
To get the most from your soap, we recommend following these guidelines:
Natural handmade soap is the best thing for your skin and if cared for properly will last 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.
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.
Soap up the loofah or Wash Cloth with the soap rather than scrubbing your body with it.
Did you Know?
Cold Process soap needs to slowly "cure" over time, we allow our soaps to naturally air cure for four (4) to six (6) weeks. During the first two weeks of curing, the saponification process is completed, as the soap continues to cure, most of the water used in the recipe evaporates. The curing process insures a milder, harder, longer lasting bar, with rich lather.
"Saponification is the chemical reaction that occurs when fats or oils (fatty acids) come into contact with lye (a base.) Saponification literally means "soap making" from the root word, "sapo", which is Latin for soap. The by-products of the saponification reaction are glycerin and soap." .
