| I started making my cold process soaps to put in the cabins as a little surprise luxury for our guests here at the Resort. I’m the one that got surprised when people started wanting to buy it to take home. In the beginning I gave samples to friends. One friend had cancer and she didn't want to hurt my feelings so she took it to her oncologist to be tested to see if it was safe for her delicate skin. The Doctor tested my soap and gave her two thumbs up for its mildness. As a number of people who have used my soap will attest how calming and gentle it is for your skin. Here is the reason; Soaps are made from lye, animal fats and/or vegetable oils and water in a process called "saponification". Store bought soaps are generally detergents that are made from petroleum instead of fats or oils. The handmade soaps will be much better for your skin because the natural moisturizing quality in the fats and oils are retained. Glycerin is a natural by- product of the saponification process. In handmade soap it is retained in the bar at 10%. (Manufacturers of soap usually remove the glycerin to sell separately). Glycerin is an emollient and humectant that draws moisture from the air and holds it to the skin. I carefully craft my soaps in small batches using food grade oils, butters, herbs, extracts and rain water to assure quality and sustainability. Each bar is hand cut, air dried and cured in my soap studio. All of my bars of soap will be approximately 4 plus ounces, with the basic ingredients of saponified oils of Olive (for moisturizing), Coconut (hardens the bar), and Lard (for lather) plus essential fragrance oils. All bars will be $4.50 plus S&H ($4.95 for up to 10 bars) unless otherwise noted. Honey and Oats Honey acts as a humectant and draws moisture to the skin. Smells deliciously sweet. Lavender This soap has lavender petals in it, making it smell so relaxing. Rose This soap has rose petals and smells just like a rose garden. Energy With this bright citrus smell you will be sure to wake up in the morning. Rosemary This soap has real rosemary in it. Smells fresh and invigorating. Soapy Clean Yes you will smell soapy clean with this fun confetti soap! Lemon Verbena This soap is made with Buttermilk, and is so creamy. Smells of fresh clean lemons.
