Natural Ingredients, Unique designs…
- Our soap bars are all handmade and hand cut and made with natural ingredients. While lending to the uniqueness of the product this also thus means that it is not possible to replicate the exact same design in all bars, so please do graciously allow for possible design variations.
- We use only natural ingredients in our products that you will mostly be familiar with and each one is chosen for it’s specific qualities.
- The only ingredient in our bars that you may not be familiar with is Lye or Sodium Hydroxide. Let us introduce this ingredient to you. Lye is what turns all those wonderful oils you see on the ingredient listing into soap through a process called saponification. Without it, they would just remain oils. The end product does not contain any un-saponified lye.
- Our body soap and shampoo bars do not contain any detergents in them unlike commercial bars.
- We aim for each soap bar to be weighing in between 3.5 oz – 4 oz when cut to get the right sized bar for your use.
Ingredients
Making soap is a lot like cooking.
When cooking you have a staple ingredient to which you add other vegetables and spices to enhance flavor, smell and additional health benefits.
Similarly, when making soap & shampoo bars you have –
- base oils to give your main nourishment and cleansing,
- added essential oils for additional benefits and sensory properties, and
- other added ingredients like botanicals for more benefits.
All this is turned into soap in a process called saponification.
Our other products are similarly made, keeping properties of each component in mind and not randomly thrown together.
