Natural Soaps

Our "100% Natural Soap" is made through a "cold-process" during which all natural components are blended and saponified resulting in unique handcrafted soap that retains its natural cleansing and skin-nourishing properties.

Each soap recipe is handmade in small batches and cured between 3 to 6 weeks, Ph-tested for mildness and finally shower-tested by our family.

By making our own soap we have complete control over the ingredients we use � our handmade natural soaps are made from:

Saponiffied cold pressed Olive Oil, Avocado Oil, Palm Oil, Coconut Oil, Cocoa Butter, Shea Butter, Sweet Almond Oil, etc.
Colored with 100% natural ingredients such as cocoa powder, orange oil, flower petals, ground oats, natural honey, etc.
Fragranced only with 100% pure essential oils, such as orange, lemon, lavender, pink grapefruit, lime, and others.
Most of our exfoliants are organically grown in our own garden!
