What are essential oils?
Essential oils contain the true essence of the plant it was derived from. An essential oil is a liquid that is distilled from the stems, flowers, leaves, bark, roots, or other elements of a plant. Essential oils, despite the use of the word oil, do not feel oily at all. Essential oils are believed to contribute various properties to your emotional as well as physical well being. To see some profiles of pure essential oils, see our profiles section.

What is Shea butter and what is so special about it?
Shea butter is an oil derived from the African Karite Tree. It is used widely in high end cosmetic products for its moisturizing properties. Shea butter is added to all of our soaps (Unless otherwise indicated).

What is an exfoliant (Exfoliating)?
An exfoliant is a plant material added to the soap which gently scrubs the skin. Oatmeal is commonly used as an exfoliant.

What ingredients do you use?
We use natural ingredients such as olive oil, coconut oil, palm oil, and shea butter. We use only top quality essential oils like Lavender, Litsea Cubeba, Ylang Ylang, as well as many others. Essential oils are 100% natural. Our fragranced varieties contain top quality fragrances which smell wonderful - the fragranced variety are not considered 100% natural as some of these essences cannot be replicated in nature - they are manmade.

What is the difference between your soap and the soap I normally use?
Most commercial soap is detergent based. It is created using synthetic materials that are artificial, drying to the skin, without concern for the earth or atmosphere. Our natural soap products are very different. Our soaps are created using natural products which are beneficial for the skin. We do not incorporate any harsh additives, artificial colorants, or artificial preservatives.

I have sensitive skin and cannot use soap. Can I use your soap?
This will vary from person to person. We sell to a wide variety of clientele. We have yet to see a person who cannot use our products. Our products are gentle, mild, and cleansing.

I am allergic to fragrances. Do you have anything for me?
Yes, please try our unscented (plain) variety.

How long does 1 bar of soap typically last?
The average bar of soap will last between 3-4 weeks. This is based on normal use. This will vary based on usage.

Do you test on animals?
No, we NEVER test on animals, nor do we use any animal ingedients. Our products are 100% cruelty-free.
