Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes, our soaps are handcrafted in small batches using pure plant oils, butters, natural clays, and 100% pure essential oils. We never use synthetic fragrances, artificial colourants, parabens, phthalates, or petroleum-based ingredients.
-
Yes. Real soap cannot be made from scratch without lye (sodium hydroxide for bars, potassium hydroxide for liquid soap). Lye is the alkalising agent required to turn oils into soap through a chemical process called saponification. Once this process is complete, all the lye and oil molecules have transformed—zero lye remains in the final, skin-safe bar of soap.
-
The vast majority of our collection is 100% vegan (Indulgence soap contains natural yoghurt)and we are completely cruelty-free. We do not test on animals. If a specific seasonal bar uses local ingredients like raw honey or goat's milk, it will be clearly highlighted in the ingredient list so you can make an informed choice.
-
On average, a bar will last 2 to 4 weeks with daily use. Because natural soap contains naturally occurring glycerin and no synthetic hardening chemicals, it softens faster if left in water.
-
To get the most out of your bar, keep it dry between uses. Use a self-draining soap dish that elevates the bar away from standing water, and keep it out of the direct spray of the shower stream.
-
While our formulas are incredibly gentle, everyone's skin is unique. We highly recommend our Unscented option Hemp soap first and foremost to heal and soothe irritated skin such as eczema, dermatitis etc. However all of our soaps are safe and gentle to use for those who use essential oil products.
-
Yes. Our traditional cold-process bars are all nourishing and gentle enough for use on the face. Please note those containing exfoliators are also able to be used on the face for a gentle exfoliation, removing any dead skin cells.
