Handmade Soap FAQs
What's the difference between handmade and commercial
soap?
There is a huge difference!
Handmade soap is made in the old fashioned with all natural ingredients. Our
handmade soap retains glycerin, which moisturizes skin, and is generally made
from natural products. Commercially processed soaps have the glycerin removed
and are more like detergent than soap. They typically contain synthetic
ingredients that are hard on your skin such as detergents that strip away your
body's natural oils, animal fat, lard, salt and other cheap ingredients that you
DO NOT want to be using on your face or body!
Our Handmade Soaps are all natural, and start off with a
Glycerin, Goat's Milk, Olive Oil, Shea Butter or a mix base with only the finest
ingredients added.
The result is pampering yourself in your all time favorite, soothing fragrance!.
Layer yourself in our Body Products and smell amazing all day!
Is handmade
& homemade soap biodegradable?
Yes, we use only if 100% natural
ingredients that are not only luxurious & moisturizing for your skin, they are also safe for
the environment. Our ingredients include: Aloe Vera, Vitamins A,B,D,E, Jojoba,
Cocoa butter,
Almond
Oil, Avocado Oil, Hemp Seed, and/or Shea Butter plus other natural products
depending on the custom handmade soap we make for you. See our Handmade Soaps
page for the huge selection of Soaps we have available for you!
What's the difference between fragrance and essential oils?
Essential oils are extracted right
from the plant. Fragrance oil is a combination of essential oils and synthetic
compounds.
What kinds
of ingredients are added to handmade soap for extra
dry skin?
Cocoa butter, almond
oil, castor oil, avocado oil, hemp seed oil, or shea butter to homemade soaps
for extra moisturizing results for dry skin. This process of adding extra oils
to your soap for moisturizing is called 'superfatting'. We also carry naturally
moisturizing Olive Oil & Shea Butter Soaps as well as Goat's Milk and Glycerins.
Olive Oil and Shea Butter are both excellent soaps for dry skin. We offer a
Super Moisturizer Soap and Body Lotion with refined Shea Butter. Makes your skin
feel creamy all over.
What ingredients are added for oily
skin?
For acne-prone skin, blackheads or
an oily T-zone, try soaps with tea tree. Tea tree oil is a natural
antiseptic and has many healing properties for skin conditions like acne,
eczema, abrasions, etc.
Is homemade soap safe for babies
and for use on sensitive skin?
Yes! If you plan to bathe your baby in
homemade soap, make sure you use uncolored soap with only natural ingredients. Before
using any soap on sensitive skin do a patch test to test for irritations. We do
make specialty soaps for babies and for sensitive skin. If you would like
to order soap from us for your baby, please let us know during your order.
