We do use lye in the manufacture of our soap. You cannot make soap without lye, also known as sodium hydroxide.

Soap is created when oils come in contact with lye at a certain temperature. This process is called saponification and the result is soap. Many people are misinformed that there is lye in the finished soap. This is not true. All of the lye reacts with the oils and is "used up" during the saponification process. There is no lye left in the soap; if there was, you would have lye burns on your hands every time you used the soap. Rest assured, our soap is as safe to use as any other soap product you will encounter on the market.

We use fragrance oils created in a laboratory setting. Although some customers prefer essential oils, we feel fragrance oils are more environmentally friendly and cost effective. Let us explain.

Almost all essential oils are imported into the United States from overseas, which uses fossil fuel resources for transportation by boat or plane. Essential oils can require hundreds of pounds of plant material to produce one ounce of essential oil. Not only does this use up the earth's land and encourage deforestation, it is very labor intensive to harvest. It takes many man hours to produce essential oils, much of it being produced in third world countries that do not have safe labor laws like we do in the United States. Finally, many essential oils use chemical solvents to extract the oil from the plant and thus leave some chemical residue behind. Many manufacturers of essential oils sell these oils as "natural" although they do contain a small amount of chemical synthetics.

We use only vegetable and plant-based oils for our soap base, consisting of olive oil, coconut oil, hemp oil, soybean oil and organic shea butter. All of our soap is handmade in small batches using wooden soap molds for the highest quality.

Our lip balms consist of candelilla wax, a plant-based alternative to beeswax, sweet almond oil, shea butter, vegetable-derived glycerides and flavoring.

All of our items are vegan, contain no animal products, and are cruelty-free.

Handmade soap can last a very long time if properly cared for in-between uses. It is recommended to place the soap on a draining soap dish, or some other object that allows the water to evaporate after each use and promotes air circulation. Don't allow it to sit in a puddle of water, this will lead to the soap getting soft which reduces its useful life. Air should be able to circulate on all surfaces of the soap. Keep your handmade soap as dry as possible; this can be done by placing it on a top shelf in the shower or a slotted soap dish at your sink.

Shelf life depends on how the soap is stored. You can prolong your soap by keeping it in a dry, cool environment away from heat and moisture. Typical shelf life of our soap is about 6 months to 1 year depending on the climate. We do not use preservatives in our soap, so it is prone to rancidity. Besides, when you receive your soap it will smell so good you will want to use it right away!
