We handcraft our soap using the slow cold process method, which means no external heat is used so the goodness of the natural ingredients are preserved for you as  much as possible. Each bar begins with a high percentage of nutrient rich organic extra virgin olive oil to which we add organic coconut oil for fluffy lather. Some bars may contain organic  non GMO sustainable palm oil to increase longevity, organic high oleic sunflower oil for its superior skin care properties,  organic castor oil for a dense creamy lather that conditions and moisturizes, avocado oil  for superior regenerative and moisturizing properties rich in vitamins A, B, D and E as well as lecithin, potassium, protein, beta carotene and amino acids. Rosehip oil,  contains Vitamin A, which helps to delay the effects of skin aging and assists with cell regeneration., Babassu oil- an effective emollient that is beneficial for both dry and oily skin, sweet almond oil,  With it’s emollient properties, it effectively softens the skin leaving it soft and supple. It also acts as a humectant, attracting moisture to the skin and preventing it from drying out  . Next , we  may add responsibly wildcrafted and organic botanicals,  organic coconut milk or goat’s milk, fragrant organic spices, purifying earth clays, and tropical butters  such as organic shea, cocoa or mango , for their exceptional skin care benefits. Finally, we scent our soaps with only pure essential oils extracted from plants… fresh clean scents, the way mother nature intended.

What is in your soap?

Ask the soap maker or check the ingredients. Typical store bought or “commercial” soaps that may be labeled as “natural” are actually detergents that include chemical hardeners, foaming agents and artificial fragrances. Look for soaps made with real oils, butters and  real essential oils which are extracted from plants that are safe and therapeutic when used properly. They are more expensive, but well worth it in terms of your health and the health of our planet. If the label just says fragrance”, “perfume”, or “parfum” it’s probably a fake synthetic scent. Other synthetic additives to avoid are FD&C colors, dyes, antibacterial triclosan & triclocarban, EDTA, TEA, DEA, sodium laureth and sodium lauryl sulfates, to name a few. They’re not kind to your skin, your health or our environment.
