F.A.Q
Why did you start making soap the way you do?
Due to sensitive skin issues, I had to find soaps that cleanse without the harsh
chemicals. I also suffer from migraines so it was also important for me to be able
to control the kind of scents and additives that were used. After many trials and
errors, I found a solution for my issues and hope that it will be one for my
customers as well.
Is your soap all natural or organic?
All ingredients used are natural. We try to use as much organic ingredients as
possible. Unfortunately the two are usually thought to mean the same thing.
Where an ingredient cannot be found that is legally certified by the USDA to be
organic a natural ingredient is used.
Is lye in your soaps, and is it safe?
Lye is a very alkaline product that can damage your skin if it comes into contact
with it All natural soaps are made with lye. It is necessary for the chemical
process called saponification that soap goes through. During saponification, the
reaction between the lye and the oils produces a product that is safe to use on
skin. After this process, no leftover chemicals or harmful substances remains in
the finished product. Lye has been used for thousands of years and is the most
traditional and natural way to make soap.
Will handmade soap be gentle to my skin?
The lack of harsh chemicals in natural handmade soaps allow them to clean your
skin well without stripping it of it’s natural oils or causing irritation.
