Frequently Asked Questions

How do you make your soap?
Our soaps are made using the "cold processed" method which requires no external heat in order to saponify.  Saponification is a chemical process, which converts a fat into soap by reacting with an alkali commonly known as "lye". This method also allows the finished soap to retain the natural glycerin that is created during the process.  If you are interested in soap-making, feel free to email us with any questions you might have.  One of our favorite resources is the "Natural Soap Book" by Susan Miller Cavitch.

What is "super-fatting"?
This means that the oils have been left in the soap unconverted by lye because oil was added at the trace stage after the mix has saponified.  The method of adding additional, nutrient-rich oils to the soap mixture after it has saponified moisturizes and soothes your skin. 

Do you test your products on animals?
Of course not.

What ingredients do you use?

What is your shipping policy?

What is the shelf-life of your soaps?
Generally speaking, our soaps will last for 18 - 24 months.  The soap itself will last longer than 2 years, but the scent might be lost by then.  As with all natural products, it is best to use them up as you receive them.

Do you carry a facial soap?
We highly recommend Tea Tree or Lavender.
