Natural soap bars are suitable for all skin types including sensitive skin. They do not contain chemical additives like commercial soap bars which may include animal fats, alcohols, esthers (known carcinogenics), low grade oils, wax and fillers.

One of the many benefits of using a natural soap bar is that since they do not contain animal fats they cut down on the soap scum you will find in your shower and bath if you are using commercial soaps.

Natural soap doesn’t strip your skin of it’s natural oils which means your skin is left feeling softer and smoother compared to dry and itchy when using commercial bars of soap.

These natural soap bars are made with coconut, palm, Olive oils and Shea Butter. They are hand crafted using the cold process method in which the ingredients are are mixed at a low temperature. This process retains all of the natural goodness of the base oils and essential oils. In the saponifiaction process large quantities of glycerine is produced. Glycerine prevents skin dryness and irritation with its moisturising properties. Commercial soap usually has the glycerine removed to make a harder bar of soap. You can feel the difference in our hand crafted home made soap by rubbing the dry bar.

Essential oils have cytophylactic (cell regeneration), antiseptic, and wound healing effects as well as anti-fungal and anti-inflammative properties making them the ultimate active principles for holistic natural skin-care.

Because of olfaction’s (the smell sense system) direct connection to the brain, sending electrical messages directly into the limbic system, essential oils can have effects on emotions and mental states. Perception of odors can have a major impact on memory, learning, emotions, thinking and feeling. As therapeutic agents, essential oils work similarly to tranquilizers but in a subtle organic way. Most scents uplift spirits and calm the nervous system. For example, lavender is calming and sedative; basil, rosemary and peppermint are uplifting and stimulating; and jasmine and ylang-ylang are exciting or euphoric.
