Bar Soap FAQ
What makes handmade soap better than commercial soap?
Glycerine! Handmade soap is made the traditional way — through a process that naturally creates glycerine, a gentle humectant that draws moisture into your skin. Unlike mass-produced soaps, which often have the glycerine removed and sold separately, our bars keep it right where it belongs. That means your skin stays soft and hydrated instead of tight or dry. Each bar is crafted in small batches with nourishing oils and pure essential oils, giving you a rich, creamy lather that cleans without stripping your skin.
Is you bar soap safe for sensitive skin?
Yes. We use skin-loving ingredients like olive oil, coconut oil, and tallow that cleanse gently and help retain moisture. There are no parabens, phthalates, or harsh sulfates — just simple, natural essential oils for scent and natural colorants like chlorophyll for green and hibiscus powder for pink.
How long does a bar of soap last?
When kept dry between uses, one bar typically lasts 3–4 weeks of daily showers. Use a draining soap dish or a bamboo tray to help your bar stay firm and last longer.
Can I use bar soap on my face as well as my body?
Yes, all of our bars are mild enough for facial use. We recommend tea tree lime almond and charcoal, which are clarifying with gentle essential oils and moisturizing ingredients. If you have very sensitive skin, you'll love these handmade soaps.
What makes a handmade soap set a great body?
Handmade soap sets make thoughtful, practical gifts that feel personal and luxurious. Each bar is crafted with natural ingredients and essential oils, so they’re beautiful, useful, and safe for everyone.
Bonus: Handmade soap sets are a smart alternative to traditional food gift baskets - perfect in an era when so many people have dietary restrictions or allergies. A beautifully wrapped soap set is something everyone can enjoy. Makes an excellent Minimalist gift because it’s consumable - a little daily luxury that doesn’t add clutter or more “stuff” to our lives. Whether it’s for a birthday, holiday, hostess, or thank-you gift, handmade soap is simple, elegant, and universally loved.
How long does handmade soap stay fresh?
When stored in a cool, dry place, handmade soap stays fresh for at least a year - often longer. The natural essential oils may mellow slightly over time, but the bar remains safe and effective. For gifting, it’s best to use it within six months for the most vibrant scent and color.
