What is cold or hot process soap?:

Cold or hot process soap is a traditional method of soap making that involves using fats and lye. When mixed together the Lye starts a process called saponification which converts all of the lye to soap. We allow an extra 6-10% of oils into our soap which is a process called super-fatting which means that there is oil left over in the soap, this is the part that makes your skin feel hydrated, soft and clean!!    

All of our oils are Vegan friendly and we never use palm oil, SLS and Paraben free!!!!!

Soap weight is approximately 80g per item - as these are hand cut please allow +/-5% variation in weight. 

Soaps are sent in a cotton or paper bag which makes them a perfect gift and easy to store.

High concentrations of fatty acids and vitamins make shea butter an ideal cosmetic ingredient for softening skin. Shea butter also has anti-inflammatory and healing properties. Using shea butter on your body can condition, tone, and soothe your skin.

Coconut oil is the most abundant source of lauric acid, a fatty acid known for its antimicrobial, moisturizing, and hormone-balancing properties. Aside from its anti-aging and skin-healing abilities, it also stimulates the production of collagen, and its vitamin E content protects the skin from sun damage.

For centuries, extra virgin olive oil has been used topically to relieve every day skin ailments. It has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and anti-aging properties because it is packed with antioxidants and vitamins. It hydrates the skin by building the skin's moisture barrier to prevent loss of moisture.

Lemon oil is used for a variety of skin conditions, including acne. Lemon essential oil can kill bacteria that may get trapped in pores and cause breakouts. It can also clarify your skin, gently exfoliating dead skin cells that so often become trapped in hair follicle and pores.

Mandarin essential oil is very mild and known for many healing properties. For instance, mandarin essential oil is useful in helping to reduce acne, brighten the skin, alleviate insomnia, reduce oily skin, diminish the appearance of scars and age spots and minimize stress and wrinkles.

Honey is extremely moisturizing and helps keep moisture locked in the skin. This moisture helps give your skin a boost of elasticity, giving your skin a natural glow and overall healthy look.
