Commercial soaps are made with synthetic chemicals and are usually much harsher than natural soap. In fact, companies should call their soap "detergent" because that is what you're actually buying. Next time you are at the store pick up the soap and read the back of the label. Most of the ingredients you can’t even pronounce. If you don’t believe me you can go to the environmental working group. The website allows consumers to evaluate the ingredients in their products. Simply go to the website search by product, brand name or even ingredients.

Our handmade soaps are made with vegetable–base oils, such as olive, coconut, castor, sunflower, and palm. None of these ingredients contain the harmful chemicals found in conventional bar soaps. Natural soaps keep the glycerin versus the commercial soaps takes the glycerin out.  Glycerin helps lock in moisture.

Utilize our soap savers, organic Hemp cloth (see right) or a well-draining wooden soap tray will prolong the shelf life of your soap. Make sure you don't leave your soap in the shower under the faucet or any place that water can leak on your natural soap. Natural soaps needs to breath and thus leaving it near water will cause your soap to melt.

Rebatching or handmilling soap is the process of melting down a pre-made cold-process soap allowing us to add delicate additives such as herbs, and essential oils. All natural ingredients are untouched by the lye solution. More time is added in making this soap but the benefits of all the extra nutrients that are in it makes it all worth it. Our handmilled soap will not look like our regular natural soap it looks more like a grubby candle but in a soap form. See picture to the right for a sample of what a rebatched or handmilled soap looks like.
