About My Handcrafted Soaps

My homemade handcrafted soaps are formulated to deliver the very best in skin care while using only safe natural ingredients. All of my soaps are made in small batches to ensure the quality of each batch. I hand stir, hand cut and hand wrap every bar. Every bar begins with a high percentage of cold pressed olive oil and a combination of some of the following organic coconut, sustainably harvested palm, castor, avocado, almond, Shea butter, and cocoa butter for a rich creamy lather that nourishes as it moisturizes. Next I add earth clays, dehydrated food ground to powder for color and algae/chlorophyll for exceptionally glowing skin.

Finally, my soaps are naturally scented with the finest essential oils or absolutes extracted from natural plant sources for their skin healing properties. Fresh clean scents, the way Mother Nature intended.

My soaps are hand poured and cut, so weight and shape may vary!

Also, Colors and Swirl Patterns may vary.

The Process

Cold Process and Room Temperature Process soap needs to slowly “cure” over time. I allow my soaps to cure for four to six weeks.

During the first two weeks of curing, the Saponification process is completed.

What is “Saponification? It 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.” 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 (About.com).

My handmade soap is truly 100% natural from start to finish. You can feel the difference! As I like to say “Simple is Best”.

My products are Paraben-free, formaldehyde-free, Phthalate-free, and I use Phthalate-free packaging for lotions and butters, & absolutely No animal testing. What does this mean for you? Peace of mind knowing harmful ingredients are left out and no leaching of Phthalates or PCB’s in your products!!

I offer a wide variety of Vegan Friendly Choices in my product categories.
