All About
Commercial
Soaps

Commercial soaps contain harmful chemicals, artificial colors, and perfumes. For example, the yellow coloring in a bar of Dial soap is known to cause allergies, tumors, lymphoma, and damage chromosomes. Plus, many name-brand soaps (Dove, Dial, Irish Spring, Lever 2000) are made of animal fat. Zest
and Ivory also test their products on animals. Read more...
 

Taking Care of Your Hand- Made Soaps

Commercial soaps have the naturally-occurring glycerin removed from them. Glycerin helps the soap moisturize your skin and avoid drying out. Handmade soap contains this beneficial glycerin. Because of this, be sure to let your handmade soap dry out between uses, and don't store it in the sun or in a sealed plastic bag.

Did You Know?


The word "lavender" comes from the Latin word lavare, which means "to wash." No wonder the Spanish word
for "laundry" is lavanderia!
Lavender was one
of the first things used by ancient humans as a cleaning agent.

How Soap Was Discovered

Soap, which is actually a salt, is a combination of lye, fat or oil, and liquid (usually water). Legend has it that soap was discovered
near Sappo Hill in Rome around
1000 B.C. Apparently, animals had been cooked
on an open fire on top of the hill. The rain came and carried the ash and animal fat from the fire pits down to a river below. Women were washing clothes in the river at this time and noticed that the run-off from the hill created bubbles, which cleaned the clothes better. Lye comes from ash. Today, lye typically comes in the form of a white powder and is used as a drain opener. However, not too long ago soap was made at home with ashes from the fireplace, animal fat, and water.

Sustainable Soap Sells Only Cruelty-Free Products—Find Out Why!

My soaps are hand-crafted from all organic and local ingredients. My recipe uses 50% organic olive oil (which nourishes your skin), 25% organic palm kernel oil (which creates a great lather), and 25% organic coconut oil (which makes the bar hard). Some bars contain organic aloe vera gel and organic butters (cocoa, shea). All bars are approximately 3 1/2 oz. and will last several weeks.
