Unlike store bought soap, our handmade lye soap contains about 25% pure glycerin. Glycerin draws moisture to the skin, soothing and lubricating it. Most commercial soap manufacturers remove that glycerin and sell it to consumers in other skin care products. Most commercially produced soaps are petrochemical based detergents. These are good cleansers but are harsh on your skin.
Lye based soap has been around for quite a while for two reasons; it is simple, and it works. When properly made it has some wonderful characteristics.
Here are some of those characteristics:
1. Handmade lye soap is gentle on the skin and can be made to your specifications.
2. The quality of our handmade soap easily surpasses commercially produced soap. Each batch is carefully formulated with a specific goal in mind.
3. With our handmade soap, you can get just what you want. We can customize fragrance and/or color, add extra moisturizers or make it fragrance and color free if that is your preference. Simply let us know what it is you are looking for in a soap, and we can create it.
4. Our handmade soap bars are formulated to easily outlast commercial soap products.
5. Each bar has a ‘creaminess’ that cannot be duplicated by any commercial soap found in stores. They are gentle on your skin because lye and oils are converted to natural skin loving glycerin. No lye remains and we do not extract the glycerin. Every bit of goodness remains in each bar for your skin to enjoy.
