Why Handcrafted Soap?
Most commercial soaps carried in stores are full of chemical additives, additives that not only dry out your skin but can lead to rashes and other irritations. Not only from the synthetic additives in the soap, but also because most soap companies take the glycerin out and sell it. Commercial soap bars are actually synthetic detergents. Although not harmful to dishes, it's not so great on your skin!
Our soaps are handcrafted in small batches. We have carefully chosen the right blend of oils and butters to make our recipe. Our customers tell us that it's the perfect bar of soap and we NEVER argue with our customers. They are ALWAYS right! Seriously, we use our own soaps. For years, Ken scratched his legs until they bled. Mostly in the Winter, but also some in the summer. Since getting our formula just right, no scratching, no bleeding, no more scars! It took several months to get it right. This proved to us, that not all soaps are alike! It takes a lot of research, testing, and practice to make a good, safe bar of soap! Beware of the "pop-up" shops. Soap recipe's are abundant on the internet; they even come with instructions. What they do not come with, is the patience, trials, and tribulations of a responsible soap maker!!!
Caring for your handmade soap
Although we would love for you to buy a bar of soap per week, we would much rather you be a satisfied, returning customer. To extend the life of your bar, place your soap in a well drained dish after each use.
You may receive a bar of soap with small White specks or film. This could be one of two things; Titanuim Dioxide (for whitening soap) or Ash (created from the natural process of saponification) Both are completely safe and normal. The ash will wash away after the first use. We do attempt to remove ash to make your bar of soap prettier! Occasionally we leave it to avoid wasting too much of your bar of soap. Again, it is HARMLESS.
Some of our colored soaps may stain a washcloth!
