Unlike many other natural soap companies who use the
same recipe for every soap selection
and simply change the scent, each of our soap bars contains a different blend
of natural
plant oils, essential oils, and herb infused oils.
No two recipes are the same!
-
Each of our soap bars is moisturizing and nourishing to skin, and
can be used as a facial and body bar. I use all of my soaps on my
face! Your skin may like some base oils better than
others.
-
Complexion soaps contain extra ingredients, like special oils,
butters, natural botanicals or grains, or essential oils that are
known to helpful to delicate facial skin.
-
Some soaps contain grains, clays, or loofah for exfoliation. Java
Spice is the most scratchy. Cornmeal & Honey and Loofah
provide gentle but firm exfoliation. Soaps containing
oatmeal, Avocado Oats and Shea, Goat Milk Oatmeal, and Lavender
Oatmeal are very gentle exfoliants, as is the Rhassoul Clay.
Many of our soaps also contain dried herbs, which also add gentle
exfoliation.
-
Begin with samples. Make note of the soaps that YOUR skin
likes or dislikes--remember no
two recipes are the same!
Read the ingredients and you will often find a
pattern. Some skin likes soaps high in olive oil or shea
butter. My skin especially likes soaps high in sunflower or
grapeseed oil.

People with allergies or sensitivities to scents should pay
special attention to the essential oils in soaps and shampoos.
Please note that we have received many emails from people who
discovered that although they have had adverse reactions to
products made with synthetic "fragrance" oils (like synthetic
lavender), the natural essential oils caused no problems.
