Homemade Soaps



What makes our soaps different? Our handmade soaps naturally contain up to 15% glycerin. Glycerin is a natural humectant, that attracts moisture to your skin. When you use a bar of handmade soap, you can feel the difference. Most soaps you buy in stores are not actually soap, but are detergent bars made with synthetic ingredients, which are harsh on your skin. Commercially prepared soap also has had the glycerin removed from it. The manufacturers then sell the glycerin to you in lotions, that you have to use to combat the dryness from using their soaps.

We make each batch of soap by hand, and allow it to cure a minimum of 3-4 weeks. This ensures a hard, nice lathering bar of soap. Our bars are hand cut, and weigh between 3.5 - 4.5 ounces. Be sure the soap does not sit in water between showers or baths. This reduces the lifetime of the soap. Allowing air to circulate around the bar dries the soap out between uses, thus extending its usefulness.

We take much pride in our craftmanship! Each bar is a labor of love, created in my home!

We use only the finest quality oils and butters in our soaps. I have listed the ones most frequently used in our products:

  • Coconut Oil
  • Palm Oil
  • Palm Kernel Oil
  • Sweet Almond Oil
  • Castor Oil
  • Olive Oil
  • Vegetable Shortening
  • Tallow

We also use some luxury oils to "superfat" our soaps and add extra softness to the skin. Some of those include Meadowfoam Seed Oil, Macadamia Nut Oil, Emu Oil, Shea & Cocoa butters.

Pictured below are some of the soaps that I have made. Sorry, this page takes awhile to load because of all the pictures. Please be aware that because of the curing time, these may not be available for immediate purchase. We also welcome any special orders!! If you have any questions, please feel free to email me about availability!
