FAQ

What makes your handmade soaps so special?

 

All of our body products are GMO-free, gluten-free, soy free, sulfate(SLS) free, and paraben free. Our soaps are made using organic RSPO certified palm oil, biodegradable glitters, responsibly sourced micas, and we use almond and coconut oil in all our artisan bars, unless otherwise stated. All soaps contain sodium hydroxide (lye). However, the sodium hydroxide is neutralized in the saponification process. Soap cannot be made without sodium hydroxide. 

Store bought soaps contain detergents and are technically not classified as soap at all! True soap is simply an emulsification of oils and salt which commercial soaps usually don't even come close. Commercial soaps tend to be extremely drying and irritating to the skin. Much of this is due to the glycerin naturally occurring in soap which is a profitable by-product. Instead of keeping the natural moisturizing qualities in the soap, these companies choose to sell its glycerin and leave the bar of soap with very little moisturizing properties. We think it's best to leave soap in its naturally occurring, ultra moisturizing state!

 

What if I have allergies?

If you have any allergies, please read our ingredient list thoroughly. We use a variety of ingredients in our products. At some point, one ingredient may have been in contact with another ingredient. Some products do feature ingredients such as milk, almond or essential oils. We follow the International Fragrance Association (IFRA) standards for the safe usage of fragrance and essential oils in our recipes. We color our soaps using micas, oxides, pigments, natural herbal colorants, and titanium dioxide which is a naturally occurring whitening agent. If you have any uncertainty, please feel free to contact us for clarification. If you experience any irritation, discontinue use right away!
