Handcrafted artisan soaps made with high quality oils and ingredients

(this is NOT your grandmother's lye soap).

 

Our soaps are made with all vegetable oils (coconut, palm, palm kernal and olive).  They have great lather, are very mild and moisturizing, and last a long time.   In addition to being vegan (unless noted), our soaps use eco-friendly, re-usable muslin bags for packaging.   Some of the soaps come nicely wrapped in paper deli bags too. 

 

Belly up to the scent bar (click the buttons above) and take a look around.  The soaps are heavily scented with high quality essential oils and fragrance oils. 

 

 

Down here at the very bottom I'm going to dispel some myths I've heard at craft shows recently:

1.  Not  all home-made soap is made with lye.  This is absolutely NOT true, unless the "home-made" soap is melt and pour (ie, glycerin soap).  LYE in soap is not a bad thing....it's the thing that combines with the oils to make soap.  I've had people show me home-made soap they bought at booths elsewhere and say it's not lye soap.  YES, IT IS!  I don't know what the soap-maker told you, but it's "lye soap". 

2.  Lye soap is so harsh.  NO, it's not!!!  It might've been "back then", but it's not the way I make it.  A by-product of the soap-making process is glycerin.  Commercial soapmakers skim the glycerin off and sell it to cosmetic companies for high dollar.  I don't do that.  The glycerin is left in the soap and, along with the high quality oils I use, it is VERY moisturizing...not harsh at all.  Also, "back then", lye soap was made with lard, a very unstable and rancid-turning fat.  I don't use any animal fats in my soap.....only coconut, palm, olive and palm kernal oils. 

3.  There is NO free lye left in my finished soap product.  This bears repeating.  Lye combines with the oils to make soap.  This is not a forgiving process.  If one ingredient is off, there will be no soap.  Again, there is NO free lye left in my finished soap product. 

4.  Lye soap is great for spots and stains.  This is not a myth!  Last but not least, a truth!  The uncolored, or lightly colored bars work best on stains.  I have even grated a half of a bar into hot water in my washer for really nice and SOFT clothes.
