A rich, aromatic essential oil blend that is warm, calming, and subtly floral—perfect for a grounding self-care ritual. 🌿

Our Handcrafted Artisan Soaps are made in small batches using skin-loving oils and butters, along with sodium hydroxide (lye) and other carefully selected ingredients.

🧼 Yes, Our Soap Is Made With Lye!

All true soap made through the cold-process method starts with lye. There is no need to be afraid of the word “lye”—it is an essential part of the soap-making process.

During saponification, sodium hydroxide reacts with the oils and fats in the recipe to create soap. When the process is properly completed, the sodium hydroxide has reacted with the oils and is no longer present as lye in the finished bar.

This chemical reaction is what transforms oils and fats into the cleansing, lathering bar of soap you know and love. Our cold-process soaps are then allowed to cure for 4–6 weeks so they can harden, develop a milder feel, and become a long-lasting bar.

What Is Saponification?

Saponification is the chemical reaction that occurs when fats or oils react with a strong alkali, such as sodium hydroxide, to form soap.

The types and proportions of fatty acids in the oils used can influence the finished soap’s hardness, cleansing ability, lather, conditioning properties, and longevity.

Why Choose Cold Process Soap?

Cold-process soap allows us to carefully select our oils, butters, and other ingredients and create each batch by hand. It gives us the ability to customize our recipes while creating a beautiful, traditional bar of soap with excellent lather and longevity.

Every bar is handcrafted, hand poured, and hand cut, making each one unique.

⭐️ Please keep your soap dry between uses!

We have soap dish trays available on our website. ❤️ Allowing your soap to drain and dry between uses helps prevent sogginess and can significantly extend the life of your bar.

Please reach out if you have any questions—we are here, and we care! ❤️

Handmade Disclaimer

Because our soaps are handmade and hand cut, color, size, shape, and design may vary slightly from bar to bar. These natural variations are part of what makes each handcrafted bar unique.
