Our Awesome Ingredients

your skin has to look great

&

be healthy and resilient for close to a century!

did you know your skin is your largest organ? arguably permeable, especially with the warmth and moisture of the shower. 

and duh, we all want our hair to be healthy and look awesome.

so . . . show it some soap- and shampoo-love!!

my soaps and shampoos have 7-9 different botanical oils and butters in them

even the soaps you buy from your natural food store, or homemade artisan soaps, are mostly going to be made from only; coconut oil, olive oil, and palm oil, maybe sweet almond oil or shea too. i use these as well, but for the majority of bars, they are not my primary ingredients. i use; evening primrose oil, passion fruit seed oil, cherry kernel oil, peach kernel oil, milk thistle oil, cocoa butter, avocado oil, shea butter, mango butter, babassu oil. your skin and hair get the property-benefits of ALL of these. i can’t make claims as to each ingredient’s benefits. But if you google them quick - you will be amazed and so pleased you are using them!

shower with a side of beef? eeeee no thanks!

i don’t use lard, tallow or any animal fats!

vegan?

most of my soaps are vegan, aside from bee products in some recipes; bee pollen, organic canadian beeswax, local (nh) honey from treatment-free bees. i am supporting local farmers that support the bees without chemical treatments. click the “vegan” tab if you prefer to shop only vegan soaps.

virgin, organic . . yes! solvent extracted . . . no!

we know organic is a goal, but what is “virgin”? did you know oils can be solvent-extracted? and bleached and deodorized as part of their refinement? so if it doesn’t say “virgin” it could mean these things. my goal is virgin organic. if any refinement needs to take place i make sure i am ok with the process.

therapeutic grade essential oils

my bars are only scented with therapeutic grade essential oils from; revive, young living, and mountain rose. no fragrance oils or chemicals! no essential oils just for the scent and who knows what else they do, essential oils are powerful health tools. don’t expect the strong smells you will get from artificial fragrance oils.

colorants

all colors are vegetarian, made from flowers, leaves, roots, clays, fruits.

time to cure

soaps are cured for over a month, plus they are much larger than average bars, so they last much longer.
