All ingredients used in our soaps are high quality from reputable sources and are designed to be used in bath and body products. We make no claims to any health or wellness benefits from using our products, we only state that it is “soap” and is effective at cleaning. Our soaps are comprised of soap base, fragrance oils, and skin safe colorants.

Soap Bases

We use glycerin soap bases featuring Non-GMO & Sustainable Coconut Oil. Some soap designs also contain specialty soap bases which incorporate goats milk or honey. All soap contains Sodium Hydroxide, commonly known as lye, which is extremely caustic in its unaltered state but when correctly combined with oils it goes through a process known as “saponification” which completely alters the chemical composition of the lye and the oils to form soap. So while we list sodium hydroxide as an ingredient be assured that none of it remains in the finished bars.

Fragrance Oils

While a specific ingredient list for the fragrance oils used in our soaps is proprietary to their respective manufacturers and not available, all fragrance oils are  in compliance with the standards of the International Fragrance Association and are used at a concentration designated as safe for skin exposure.

Skin Safe Colorants

We use mica, oxides, and titanium dioxide to color our soaps. While titanium dioxide in powder form is dangerous to inhale and is on the California Proposition 65 warning list once the powder is incorporated into a liquid or solid base it can no longer be inhaled and therefore falls off the warning list. All colorants are used in low concentrations and are mixed until thoroughly incorporated to ensure customer safety.
