I’ve used
other soap, how’s yours different?
Our soap contains edible organic oils and natural colorants such as
herbs. Commercial soap contains animal fat, petroleum derivatives,
synthetic colorings, and chemical preservatives.
I have
sensitive/dry skin, which soap can I use?
For those of you with sensitive skin, we recommend that you do try our ß-Carotene
soap
and
Rice Bran soap. It is rich in moisture with added
avocado oil. We think you'll be surprised at how mild our handmade soap
really is.
Doesn’t
the sodium hydroxide harm my skin?
We calculate just the right amount of sodium hydroxide needed to cause
the right chemical reaction (saponification) between the ash and the
vegetable oils to make the ideal soap bar that is not harsh on your skin
and is full of moisturizing ingredients.
How big
are the soap bars?
Because all our soaps are handcrafted from small batches and hand-cut,
sizes will vary. It might not have the exact clean straight cut and
unique in shape. Each soap bar should weight approximately 3.5oz or 100g.
Is your
soap safe for everyone?
Organic and natural ingredients are used for our soap but those
suffering from conditions like sensitive skin or allergies may be
troubled by even our natural ingredients. If irritation occurs, please
see your doctor immediately.
Can I use
handmade soap to wash my hair?
Yes, wet your hair and rub the bar of soap across your hair a few times
to lather. It rinses out and leaves your hair squeaky clean without
feeling dried out.
Do you
use dies to color your soap?
No, we do not use dies in the making of our soaps. We use flowers and
herbs for there individual qualities and to provide texture and color.
How long
do bars last?
Our soaps aren’t as long-lasting as the commercial ones. Shelf life
varies according to storage and use patterns. Best used within 12 months
and avoid direct sunlight to prevent oxidation. Certain fragrance oil
blends are more volatile, and their scents may fade over time.
