Our handmade natural soap begins with a blend of edible, premium quality pure vegetable oils. We do not use artificial colorants, preservatives, alcohol, petroleum based or animal products. We are able to create a premium cold process handmade soap without the use of those ingredients, and we're sure that you'll enjoy the difference.
Base Oils
Olive Oil
We like to use a pure olive oil, and this is our primary soap making oil as olive oil contributes wonderful moisturizing properties to handmade soap. Olive oil has the ability to hold moisture next to your skin without interfering with your skin's normal functions.
Coconut Oil
Coconut oil contributes hardness and lathering qualities when used in soap making. Coconut oil is moisturizing when not used in excess.
Palm Oil
Palm oil is considered a hard oil and contributes hardness to the finished bar of soap.
