We hope you will
take the time to read here and elsewhere about the ingredients we use in our
carefully crafted handmade soap. Many testify to wonderful things when
they begin using handmade soap on their bodies, faces and even hair.
All our products are made by hand. Our soaps are made using the time-honored cold process method of soapmaking, the same method used for centuries by our ancestors. All our soaps are made with vegetable oils. Animal fats are never used and animal testing is not used on any of our products. The soaps are made in relatively small batches by hand using our own recipes with special care and attention. All soaps are cured for approximately 4-6 weeks and tested before being offered for sale. Many of our soaps are 100% all-natural, meaning they include no harsh preservatives, synthetic fragrance oils or man-made colorants and use only natural essential oils for fragrance and natural colorants. Some of our soap blends do include other colorants or fragrance oils as some of our customers enjoy these additions, but they are labeled clearly so you are informed.
