Ingredients
You can feel good about using our products since they are made with the finest all natural and organic oils and exotic butters available. They are scented with pure essential oils. The natural colors of the bars come from organic herbs, spices, cocoa, honey, root powders, and clays. No dyes, micas, or ochres are ever used. No synthetic fragrance oils are ever used.
Our soaps are made in small batches using the cold process method of soap making which retains the natural glycerin. We also super fat our soaps. This method produces soaps that are rich, moisturizing, and creamy. All of the ingredients are carefully chosen based on the beneficial qualities they have to offer. |
