Soap is created when a sodium hydroxide solution is incorporated to liquid oils, melted vegetal butters, and / or fats. The reaction that follows(saponification) may takes up to 48 hours to complete. Once completed, the soap no longer contains sodium hydroxide. The newly created soap is naturally rich in skin loving glycerin. Most of our formulations use the cold process method. We select oils and butters carefully for their properties, then add skin loving elements to achieve the perfect soap bar.

Soap requires to cure for a period of 4 to 6 weeks before being use. This rest is beneficial as water evaporates leaving a hard, longer lasting soap bar. Some soaps like Castile will require up to 12 months of rest! Just like a good wine, soap gets better with time!

We also offer a selection of unscented soaps for the comfort of people with allergies or intolerance to scents.

SOAPS FOR EVERY LIFESTYLE

When we started making soap, we decided to create soaps that took in consideration vegan, vegetarian and traditional lifestyles.

We are sometimes asked why we have a selection of soaps created with milks or animal fats. The answer is simple. This is how our grandmothers used to make soap! Animal fat was the traditional way of making soap. It is less processed that most vegetable oils on the market, it makes a hard soap bar, and leaves the skin super soft! We also believe that when an animal is processed, it should not be wasted.
