Terms of service

Pre-Orders

All soaps on this site are currently made using the cold process method which requires a curing time of at least 4 weeks. Some items may be listed as a pre-order and, if purchased, will ship only after the date mentioned in the product description. This requirement is not only for your safety but to also ensure that you’ll have a bar of soap that will be long lasting, completely satisfying, and ready to use the minute it arrives.

Custom Orders

Custom orders are perfect for anyone looking for a unique soulful soap for any occasion. Whether you looking for small guest sized bars or a full loaf please be sure to go to the contact page and leave your information along with any questions or requests you have. 

Soaps

Not all handmade soaps are created equal. Our soaps are handcrafted and hand cut. Weights may vary slightly from bar to bar and batch to batch. That is the nature of most handmade soaps. Most of our soaps will range from 4 ounces to 5 ounces.  They are approximately 3” x 3” x 1 ” wrapped with a label band which lists the ingredients and using instructions on the back. The images are for reference only. These are handmade items and, as such I try my hardest to duplicate batches – it is not always possible so please allow for slight variations. They will over time, continue to evaporate water and lose a little weight. However, this makes for a finer, longer lasting soap bar despite the slight weight change.

Please understand that when you receive your soaps during humid weather conditions some of the soaps and boxes may be slightly damp from the natural “sweat” of the soaps. There is nothing wrong with your soap and it is not melting. It’s absolutely safe to use. The wetness is just the glycerin and other natural humectants doing their job – which is to draw moisture. 

Store your soaps in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Be sure to allow your soap to dry between uses. In order to extend the life of your handmade soap, we recommend that you use a draining soap dish that will keep your soap dry underneath. 

Soap Ingredients

We use high quality oils and butters in our soap recipes. Ingredient lists are provided for each product. All soaps contain sodium hydroxide (lye) which is essential to the process. But don’t fear! The sodium hydroxide is completely neutralized in the saponification process. Our soaps are scented with fragrance oils or essential oils and we use various liquids – most often coconut milk – to keep most of our products vegan. However, we occasionally use buttermilk, goat’s milk, etc. If it’s vegan soap you want be sure to read the product description.  Sometimes we use honey, coffee, teas, herbs, spices, pumpkin, tussah silk, and more to make exciting and unique specialty soaps. If you have any questions about ingredients, please don’t hesitate to ask.
