We handcraft our soaps using the slow cold process method, which means no external heat is used preserving the integrity of the natural ingredients as much as possible. Each bar begins with coconut oil, olive oil, sustainable palm oil and shea butter.

Each bar is sliced fresh from the raw loaf, stamped with our logo and then allowed to cure for a minimum of four weeks to ensure a nice long-lasting bar of soap.

Bar soaps are approximately 1" thick by 3.5" wide and at least 3" tall, weighing 5.5 - 5.75 net weight. Your bar will arrive wrapped in a biodegradable film and labeled.

{recipe} Coconut Oil, Olive Oil, Water, Lard, Palm Oil, Shea Butter, Sodium Hydroxide, Castor Oil, Citronella Essential Oil, Mica, Titanium Dioxide, Tin Oxide.

Handmade soap lasts longer if kept out of direct streams of water in a draining soap dish.

FAQ's

SOAP

Why is handmade soap better than commercial soap? 

Handmade soap is better than commercial soap because it retains naturally occurring glycerin, a powerful humectant that deeply moisturizes the skin. Commercial brands often strip this glycerin out to sell for other products and rely on synthetic detergents, parabens, and harsh foaming agents (like SLS or sodium lauryl sulfate) that can strip and irritate your skin.

Does cold process soap contain lye?

No, cold process soap does not contain lye. Lye transforms completely during the saponification process and becomes soap.

How long does a bar of handmade soap last?

Once you begin using it in the shower, a well-cured, standard-sized bar will generally last an individual 3 to 4 weeks with daily use, kept in a well-draining soap dish.

What does Artisan Soap mean? 

"Artisan Soap" simply means that it is handcrafted in small batches by a skilled soap maker, rather than mass-produced in a factory.
