Soaps They Do More Than Smell Good
Now you can enjoy the same benefits from our synergistic blends with our aromatherapy soaps. All of our soaps are enhanced with specially selected herbs and botanicals and handcrafted in small batches. They are clean feeling, long-lasting and great for sensitive skin.
Soaps offer a way to dilute and apply essential oils over a wider area of your body. Even though the soap is rinsed off, the oils still cling to the skin where they will be absorbed.
Why Handmade and not Commercial?
Most commercial bars are synthetic detergents. This means that petroleum distillates have been used instead of natural fats in the soap making process. Some commercial glycerin bars include alcohol that is drying to the skin, offsetting some of the benefits of the high glycerin content. Most commercial products contain artificial fragrances and colors that can also be drying or sensitizing. The natural glycerin may also be removed during this process which causes milled soaps to be somewhat more drying to skin than handmade soaps.
Soap is the product of the chemical process known as 'saponification' which occurs when acids (animal fats or vegetable oils) are combined with an alkaline solution (sodium hydroxide and water). Soap making has two processes: the first phase breaks down fats and oils into fatty acids and glycerol and also splits apart the sodium hydroxide to form hydroxide and sodium ions. In the second phase, the fatty acids and the sodium ions react together to make soap and glycerin. The soap cleans and the glycerin moisturizes. The essential oils and selected herbs that we add enhance and support these two properties of natural soaps.
