Our soaps are natural spa-quality soap made with high grade ingredients. Our soaps will rejuvenate your skin leaving it soft, smooth, and chemical free.
Handmade natural soaps are the very best for sensitive or damaged skin. You might not realize how unhealthy your skin is until you use a natural nurishing soap. After one use in the shower, you’ll notice a huge difference.

We do not use artifical fragrances in any of our products. Any scent you may notice is natural. At times, we may use essential oils to help scent a batch of soap, but it is a lite scent that you will only notice while in use. It will not leave a scent on the skin.
We PH test every soap recipe. All of our soaps have a PH level of around 9, which means the bar is very mild and gentle to the skin.
No, we do not use any harsh chemicals in our natural soap. Sodium Laurel Sulphate has been found to cause skin irritation. Our goal is to create products as natural and as healthy as possible.

Many find that Dove is the most gentle store-bought soap on the market. It used to be my go-to. Some people are afraid to try natural soap because they think Dove is more gentle. I won’t do a strict comparison, but I will say that handmade soaps are made with skin-loving ingredients. Dove uses detergents and other artificial ingredients.

Yes, we use animal products such as goats milk, honey, beeswax, and lard. Please see the ingredient list within each product listing.
Lye, also known as Sodium Hydroxide or Caustic Soda, is a key ingredient in the saponification process. Sodium hydroxide (lye) and oils are blended together where they react to produce soap. Saponification is completed when all the sodium hydroxide (lye) and oils have been converted into soap. At the final stage of saponification there is no remaining sodium hydroxide (lye) in the soap base, so, no there is no sodium hydroxide (lye) in our soap bars.
If a soap maker is advertising their soap as “no lye” they likely used a melt and pour technique and are confused about lye being used. Melt and pour soap is a ready-made soap base composed of fatty acids, glycerin, and other natural ingredients. The base is produced through the “saponification” process, which involves mixing oils and lye (as described in the above paragraph). Therefore, lye was used, but because they purchased the melt and pour base, they personally did not have to use lye. The company that made the melt and pour base used the lye.
The soap makers then create their own soap with the melt and pour soap base that was already made with lye. Working with lye can be very dangerous to the untrained. Using melt and pour base is quicker, easier, and less dangerous to the soap maker.
I prefer to make soap myself from beginning to end, not that there’s is anything wrong with melt and pour. I prefer the old-fashioned way because this allows me to make soaps as natural as possible and with the exact ingredients that I prefer. Plus, I am old-fashioned and enjoy doing things the hard way.
We recommend to use our soap within a year of purchase. Our soaps last longer if you keep them out of direct streams of water and standing water. I recommend using a ventilated soap dish or any type of soap saver dish so the bar can dry between uses.
No, we do not sell anti-bacterial soap. Anti-bacterial soap is not effective according to the FDA. The FDA recommends using plain soap and water.
