How my Soaps are made:
My Organic handmade soap crafted in small, limited batches using cold process method. This traditional soap making practice allows the soaps to keep the high concentration of skin-loving nutrients in each bar.
Why cold process: Most of today’s soaps have natural glycerin removed, to use it in lotions and marketed for people as a necessity after the skin is stripped of its natural oils. Cold processed soaps are all glycerin soaps (the saponification process produces glycerin) and provide other natural oils for the skin.
How I make it: All of my soaps are with at least a 5% superfat content. This means that 5% or more of the luxurious oils that I add, are left in the soap to nourish your skin and 0% of lye. The end result is a creamy lather, beautiful bubbles, and a pure soap that will nourish your skin whether you have oily skin, dry, skin, or suffer from acne or eczema.
All colors and scent come from the earth with minimal processing in the form of herbs, spices, clays, essential and natural oils.
My Ingredients: I only purchase the highest quality organic oils, butters, clays and EO for my soaps.
Herbs I use in making the soap are handpicked from my very own garden or wildcrafted from our land.
Water – My water is coming from the well – from dip within the earth. We live in a very clean, rural area, so our water contains all the micronutrients and minerals as nature intended.
Sodium Hydroxide – the key element to making soap, none remains in the finished product, during saponification process when the soap hardens and 6 weeks curing time.
My soap is gentle, effective, and crafted with care.
Caring for your Handmade Soap
Handmade soaps naturally have a high glycerin content, which is amazing for your skin – but it also means the soap requires a place to dry out between uses. The glycerin attracts water and if left in standing water, the soap will break down quickly. To prolong the lifespan of your soap, do not allow it to sit in a pool of water of a bowl-shaped dish. Also, beware of those indentations built into some showers as “soap dishes”; they rarely drain properly.
Instead, be sure to store your soap in a dry place out of the stream of water, and on a draining soap dish. A slatted wood or bamboo soap dish is ideal because it wicks water away from the soap, allowing the soap to dry properly. Alternatively, a “soap saver” (an oval disk with raised nubs) placed in the bottom of your favorite soap dish should keep it high and dry.
Unused soaps need to be stored in a cool, dry place – preferably, NOT the bathroom. A linen closet is great (plus, the soap will make your linens smell good!). If you need to transport the soap and are concerned about the scent migrating to other items (such as food), wrap the soap snugly in waxed paper to block the scent transfer.
Precautions: As with any soap, keep it out of your eyes or it will sting (rinse thoroughly with plain water if this occurs), and discontinue using if irritation develops. Be sure to check the ingredients if you have allergies. Be aware that some soaps have ingredients that may bother sensitive skin (cinnamon, citrus, mint, etc.), and that exfoliants can be scratchy.
Happy bathing!
