All About our
Natural Soaps
All our soaps are made by hand in our soap kitchens from high
quality natural ingredients. Each batch of a recipe will
vary slightly in scent and colour
and each bar in a batch will have slight variations in colour and shape.
This is both normal and expected.
Each soap has various herbs, essential oils, speciality or exotic
oils and naturally derived colour components added to it that
make it a unique bathing experience. You will not find any synthetic
fragrances or colouring agents listed here.
How Our Soap is Soap and not Detergent
True soap is made by mixing fatty acids (the fat molecules in
oils) and an alkali (lye). When the saponification reaction
is finished, one molecule of fatty acid (triglyceride) will
end up as three molecules of soap and one molecule of glycerin.
Much like baking a cake, the starting ingredients may be unpalatable
individually, but when finished with it's reaction (baking),
the result is highly desirable. We start with fat and lye and
after the cooking is done, we end up with gentle, moisturizing
soap.
Commercial beauty bars and deoderant bars are made synthetically
from chemicals and are actually detergents, not soap. The few
making real soap often strip out the natural glycerin to use
in other products. This is why commercial soaps are so drying
compared to real soap.
Caring for your Soap
Herbal soaps will last as long or longer that commercial soaps
if they are taken care of. It is important to keep them on
a good draining soap dish between uses so that they dry. If
they are left to sit in a puddle of water, they will 'melt'
away very quickly. These are soaps that are best used and not
left sitting around. As these are scented with essential oils,
their fragrance will eventually fade. The essential oils serve
a purpose other than scent. Many of them are beneficial to
the skin, so don't leave these soaps to the terrible fate of
a "guest soap". Leave the other stuff for the guests
- this is for you!
