COMMERCIAL SOAPS


Soaps today have many ingredients and additives only a chemist can understand. A lot of the synthetic ingredients, such as artificial fragrances, DEA, FD&C Colors, Isopropyl Alcohol, Propylene Glycol, can be toxic and cause severe skin irritation in some people.

To improve skin health, it's important to carefully review the ingredients in the soap you're using, and try to avoid products that are synthetic. If you're not sure, ask questions. We understand a natural product being as close to its original form as possible. It's up to our knowledge, skill and creativity to produce a perfectly balanced natural bar of soap, that is both luxurious, and good for you and also good for the environment. 

GOAT'S MILK IN SOAP

Did you know that 60% of whatever comes in contact with your skin is assimilated into your system? Goat's milk is a natural moisturizer that is high in proteins, minerals and vitamins, that are readily absorbed into the skin. Goat's milk has been used in bathing and in beauty rituals for centuries.

Cleopatra was famous for her beautiful complexion, and one of her known beauty secrets was to bath in goat's milk. To maximize this effect, each of our bars has at least an ounce of goat's milk in it. We ensure the milk's freshness by purchasing it directly from a local farm.


NATURAL GLYCERIN


Glycerin is a humectant, which attracts moisture, which in turn moisturizes the skin. Soap without glycerin dries the skin. Glycerin is a natural by-product of the soapmaking process called saponification. Most commercial soap manufacturers remove it to sell it to the cosmetic and other industries. Unlike mass-produced soaps, our handcrafted cold process soap retain all of the naturally formed glycerin in perfect proportion. 

Our soap is not made with store-bought chemically-separated glycerin, and therefore doesn't dissolve after few uses.  People with such skin conditions as eczema and psoriasis, as well as people that have sensitive skin, often find immediate help by switching to handmade milk soaps. We believe that using, as we'd like to call it "a perfect bar of soap" can make a difference to your skin, and therefore to your health.
