READ MORE ABOUT WHY OUR HANDCRAFTED SOAPS ARE UNIQUE
OUR HANDMADE SOAPS ARE UNIQUELY DIFFERENT FROM MASS PRODUCED
HANDMADE
Our soaps are handmade, not mass produced. Crafting our soaps by hand, in small artisan batches means that we personally oversee every single step of the process.
PROPRIETARY BLEND OF LUXURY OILS
Throughout the many years we have been making soap we have developed a proprietary blend of luxurious plant oils that we add to every batch of soap. This unique blend is what makes our soap extra elegant - giving a rich lather while gently cleansing. This unique blend of ingredients is one of the reasons our soaps work well not only for bathing, but also for shaving.
ESSENTIAL OILS + NATURAL ESSENCES
We select only the finest pure essential oils & natural essences for our handmade soaps with each oil undergoing testing for purity & potency. We enjoy working closely with our suppliers to ensure quality. Our unique formulations are blended in house, carefully - using digital technology to ensure consistency & safety. We use a combination of structural blending as well as energetic.
NATURAL GLYCERIN
Our handmade soaps contain natural glycerin, whereas many mass produced bar soaps remove the glycerin. The glycerin that is removed is sometimes added back into different products, like lotions & creams. This matters because glycerin is a natural humectant, known for its moisturizing properties. With our handmade soaps you enjoy a gentle soap bar plus the natural moisturizing benefits of glycerin.
NATURAL COLORANTS
Using natural colorants allows us some creativity & fun without having to worry about the possible effects of synthetic dyes. We love to swirl soaps with contrasting colors, giving our handmade soaps visual interest & eye appeal. Visually speaking - each batch is a bit different, the colors vary. Each batch a unique work of art, displaying an authentic form of self expression.
