Our Herbal Soaps
Herbal soaps are a wonderful way to benefit
from the healing properties of herbs. We offer two kinds
of soaps, Glycerin and Hot Process.
Our glycerin soaps are made from pure vegetable
oils and butters, with 20% kosher glycerin added. We then
add a variety of herbs, spices, fruit, vegetables and
essential oils. We don't make our own glycerin soaps. We
buy the soap base from a reputable company which meets our
standards. All our clear soaps are glycerin.
We make all our own HP (Hot Process)
soaps. Where possible, our oils and butters
are cold processed, unrefined, and organic. All
our soaps are formulated to take advantage of the healing properties
of the ingredients we use.
None of our soaps (including the glycerin soaps) are
animal tested, or made with animal tested ingredients. The
only animal products we use are milk, honey, and bees' wax.
Fragrances and
Essential Oils
A wide assortment of fragrances are available
today. Many of them are quite good. By
fragrance, we're referring to artificial substances, created
for their scent.
Essential oils on the other hand, are derived from
natural plant material. The essential oils we use are are
obtained by steam distillation of the plant's volatile oils.
Most are certified organic. These are the oils of the plant,
containing the properties of the plant they came from.
Our
soaps are made with herbs, herb
teas, spices, juice, fruit peel, vegetables or essential oils.
Coloring
We
suggest that you select your soaps according to what the soap
does, not the soap's color. But, we know that color is also
important, so we will be happy to custom color your soaps if we
can. Clear glycerin soaps with essential oils only are
the easiest to color. We use FD&C and natural colors in
our glycerin soaps.
We only use natural colors such as herbs and clays in
our Hot Process soaps. True Castile and
Lathering Castile with or without essential oils are the easiest HP
soaps to color. Our other soaps contain oils that themselves
tend to add color, which limits the available color
options.
All milk soaps and soaps containing plant material are
harder to color. Milk soaps tend to be tan to
brown, and the plant material itself often adds color.

Soaps

Personal Sizes
Our personal sizes are a great way
to inexpensively try our soaps to help you determine which ones are
right for you. They also make great gifts. Select
several personal size soaps, a few personal size bath
salts, some individual bath bombs, maybe a bath oil, and
some individual bath teas. Package in a coffee or
travel mug for a teacher gift. Wrap them in a punch bowl or
laundry basket for a house warming gift. Baskets
and masonry jars, are also great packaging
ideas.
Personal sizes can be selected for color, or the soaps' properties.
Custom personal sizes can be ordered if desired. All our personal sized soaps
come with a description of the available soaps and their properties.
If you need additional pamphlets, just let us know.
Personal sized soaps also make wonderful promotional
items, and shower gifts. Soaps can be ordered personalized
with your company name, or the name of the bride and groom for an
additonal fee. We can also personalize your soaps with the
names of your guests! What a unique way to indicate seating
arrangements. Bulk prices are available for personalized
soaps.
