There are soooo many soaps!
Help Me Choose!

Unlike many other natural soap companies who use the same recipe for every soap selection
 and simply change the scent, each of our soap bars contains a different blend
of natural plant oils, essential oils, and herb infused oils. 
No two recipes are the same!

  • Each of our soap bars is moisturizing and nourishing to skin, and can be used as a facial and body bar.  I use all of my soaps on my face!  Your skin may like some base oils better than others.
     

  • Complexion soaps contain extra ingredients, like special oils, butters, natural botanicals or grains, or essential oils that are known to helpful to delicate facial skin. 
     

  • Some soaps contain grains, clays, or loofah for exfoliation. Java Spice is the most scratchy.  Cornmeal & Honey and Loofah provide gentle but firm exfoliation.  Soaps containing oatmeal, Avocado Oats and Shea, Goat Milk Oatmeal, and Lavender Oatmeal are very gentle exfoliants, as is the Rhassoul Clay.   Many of our soaps also contain dried herbs, which also add gentle exfoliation.
     

  • Begin with samples.  Make note of the soaps that YOUR skin likes or dislikes--remember no two recipes are the same!   Read the ingredients and you will often find a pattern.  Some skin likes soaps high in olive oil or shea butter.  My skin especially likes soaps high in sunflower or grapeseed oil. 
     

  • What type of scents do you like?  We grouped our scents in the table below.  Many of our scents are complex blends of essential oils and do not easily fit into one category--but we tried!

  • Use our ingredients page and the internet to learn about the healing and aromatherapy properties essential oil and natural botanicals. 
     

  • People with allergies or sensitivities to scents should pay special attention to the essential oils in soaps and shampoos.  Please note that we have received many emails from people who discovered that although they have had adverse reactions to products made with synthetic "fragrance" oils (like synthetic lavender), the natural essential oils caused no problems.
