Soap Bars

Today's soaps are milder and better for skin thanks to the availability of vegetable and plant based oils. Chemically speaking, soap is a salt. An acid and a base react with one another and are neutralized to form a salt or soap. A more basic explanation is: oils or fats combine with Sodium Hydroxide or Lye ; in a process called saponification to produce soap. Hand made soap retains extra glycerin, known to soften the skin naturally. Glycerin is one of the best known humecants (attracts moisture to the skin). It is often extracted during the process of manufacturing commercially made soap, then sold as a valuable by-product. Natural ingredients are rarely used in commercially manufactured soap. If used at all, it is sparingly. One of the best advantages of using natural and hand made soap bars is that the quality is consistent as a result of the smaller batch sizes. Only healthy natural ingredients are used within our soaps, thus making it a true collection of all natural soap bars.
