Handmade soap is oftentimes more expensive than commercially produced soap because it is formulated with high quality, natural oils and botanicals, produced in small batches, and requires a lot more labor and expertise from the artisan soap maker, resulting in a higher price per bar compared to mass-produced soap bars. In other words, you are paying for superior quality, expert craftsmanship, and often unique, handmade designs over large-scale production with cheaper ingredients and toxic chemicals. Here are some key factors contributing to the higher cost of handcrafted soap:

• Premium ingredients: Handmade soap bars often uses high-quality oils like olive oil, coconut oil, shea butter, and essential oils, which are more way more expensive than the synthetic chemicals that are found in many commercial soaps sold in grocery stores.
• Small batch production: Artisan soap makers normally make soap in small batches, which means higher production costs per soap bar compared to large-scale manufacturing facilities that can produce more soap bars at a lower cost.
• Labor intensive process: The process of making handmade soap requires careful handling of ingredients, precise measurements, careful formulating and curing time, which adds to the overall cost. per bar of soap.
• Artistic design: Many handmade soap bars feature unique shapes, colors, and patterns, which can involve additional time from the soap maker and effort to create. 
• Ethical sourcing: Some artisan soap makers prioritize ethically sourced ingredients and sustainable practices, further increasing the initial cost. per bar of soap.

Here’s the thing: while conventional soaps might seem cheaper upfront, they often cost more in the long run. Why? Because their drying effects push you to buy extra lotions and creams to undo the damage. With our handmade soap, you’re investing in a product that cleanses and nourishes your skin, leaving it soft and hydrated without the need for extra remedies. No lotion needed after you shower!

Think of it this way: your skin deserves the best, and a little extra investment now means healthier, happier skin later. Give it the care it craves with handmade soap you can feel good about. 🧼💖

1. It made without chemicals and synthetics

Most commercial soaps aren’t true soap at all. They are often manufactured with synthetic ingredients, toxic chemicals and detergents. These may include parabens, petrochemicals, phthalates, triclosan, and phosphorus, which irritate and dry out the skin. Scientists even link some of these ingredients to hormone disruption, cancer and various skin conditions.

2. It’s not harmful to waterways

The natural ingredients in handmade soaps are biodegradable. Meanwhile, the synthetic ingredients in commercial soaps, such as phosphorus, drain into rivers and lakes and harm fish and other living things.

3. It moisturizes your skin better and longer with glycerin

A type of fat naturally found in plants, glycerin naturally hydrates and keeps the skin soothed. Many commercial soap companies remove the glycerin from their products to increase their shelf life. If the soap label says body wash or body bar, it is most likely a detergent and not true soap.

4. It’s oftentimes palm oil-free or only contains sustainably-harvested palm oil

Many commercial soap companies use palm oil harvested from deforested areas. This poses a serious problem to our planet as plants are then not allowed to regrow to be then harvested again.

5. Its packaging is usually sustainable

You’ll usually see handmade soap packaged without plastics, or synthetic packaging whereas most commercial soaps are packaged in single-use plastic bottles or heavily printed, glossy boxes that are not good for the environment.

6. It’s often vegan and not tested on animals

Many handcrafted soap bars contain no animal fats, milk, or honey products, so they are vegan-friendly. The small businesses that make them usually don’t test on animals, so they are most likely cruelty-free.

Always double-check if a seller works only with vegan products if this is important to you.

7. It comes from small businesses

Purchasing handmade soap bars from local businesses means supporting your community and your local economy. Commercial soap companies often make their products in factories with machines and very few people.

Once you experience the difference of handmade soap, you’ll never want to go back to the chemical-laden stuff again. Treat your skin to the goodness it deserves! 😊

Handmade soap can last a surprisingly long time—often just as long (or longer!) than commercial soaps—if you properly take care of it. The trick is all in how you store it!

Here are some recommendations to make your bar last longer:
🧼 Use a Soap Saver: Keep your soap on a soap saver or a well-drained dish to help it dry out completely between uses. This keeps it from sitting in water, which can make it melt faster. This is vital to extend the life of your handmade soap.
🚿 Avoid Puddles: Store your natural soap away from direct streams of water in the shower or a very humid environment. If your shower never fully dries during the day, then, it is better to get your soap out of the shower and store it in your bathroom sink until you are ready to use it the next time. Letting it stay dry when not in use is key!

When stored properly, our handmade soaps are very long-lasting, giving you plenty of time to enjoy the skin-loving goodness. Bonus? You’ll also notice that you don’t need to use as much because they create a rich, creamy lather that goes a long way! 😊

A body butter is a rich, super thick moisturizer designed to deeply hydrate and nourish dry skin. It’s made with luxurious oils and butters like mango butter, jojoba oil, and tallow, which work together to provide long-lasting moisture. Unlike traditional lotions, body butters are usually thicker and creamier, which makes them perfect for extra dry skin or when you just need that extra boost of hydration.

Is Body Butter the Same as Lotion?

Not at all! While both body butter and lotion are designed to hydrate your skin, body butter is normally thicker and way more nourishing than commercial lotions. Lotions are most of the time water-based and lighter, while body butters are packed with natural oils and butters, which makes them more nourishing and hydrating. If you’ve got dry, flaky or cracked skin or just want to treat yourself to something extra luxurious, body butter is the way to go!

Ready to experience the ultimate hydration? Our body butters, formulated with mango butter, jojoba oil and tallow, are perfect for soft and glowing skin, without the greasy feeling. 💖

Our handmade body butters aren’t just different—they’re in a different league of their own. Here’s why:

1️⃣ Luxurious Ingredients
We use real skin-nourishing ingredients like mango butter, known for its rich, soft texture and its ability to deeply hydrate, and jojoba oil, a luxury oil that mimics your skin’s natural oils. Unlike commercial brands that rely on cheap fillers and synthetic additives, every ingredient in our body butters is chosen for its high-quality and skin-loving properties.

2️⃣ Intense Hydration Without the Grease
If you’ve ever felt greasy after using a body butter, that’s not us! Our formula is designed to sink right in, leaving your skin super soft, smooth, and hydrated without that sticky residue afterwards. Just a tiny amount goes a really long way, making it more effective and long-lasting than lotions or other commercial creams.

3️⃣ Better Than Lotion
Lotions often contain a high water content that quickly evaporates, leaving your skin dehydrated again very fast. That's why most people with dry skin need to reapply lotion throughout the day. On the other hand, our body butters deliver intense, long-lasting hydration that combats even the driest skin—perfect for tackling rough patches or keeping your skin radiant all year round. No need to reapply multiple times a day!

When you choose our body butters, you’re choosing a product that pampers your skin, saves you time and money, and feels amazing every time you use it. Try it for yourself—your skin will thank you for it! 🧴💕

A lotion bar is a solid block of lotion, used for moisturizing dry patches of skin. Lotion bars are normally made with natural oils and beeswax that stay solid at room temperature, but melt a little from body heat, making it easy to glide the lotion bar on your skin as needed and store in a reusable  container.

Lotion bars take the best of natural skin care — gentle, simple ingredients like shea butter and essential oils — and pack them into a small bar, rather than a large plastic bottle than is mostly comprised of water. This eliminates both the plastic waste from the bottle and water added to traditional lotion. Lotion bars pack in all the best moisturizing ingredients, concentrated without excess water or plastic waste.

How do you use lotion bars? Can you use lotion bars in the shower?

Lotion bars can be used in many different ways, depending on skin care needs. It is recommended to hold the lotion bar in your hands for about 1 minute before use; the warmth of your hands will melt the solid bar, allowing the nourishing oils to glide onto your skin. If the bar feels hard, keep warming it in your hands or start by rubbing on your arms to get the lotion to melt enough to easily glide into your skin.

Many dermatologists recommend using a moisturizer after showering, to lock in water left on the body and use it to moisturize your skin throughout the day. Like any lotion, lotion bars are also an important go-to skin care product any time skin feels dry, cracked, or irritated. On a pinch, a lotion bar can serve as a lip balm too!.

Why is a lotion bar better than commercial bottled lotions?

While local recycling facilities are typically able to recycle lotion bottles, overall plastic recycling rates are shockingly low. If possible, it is always better to reduce plastic consumption, and rely less on recycling by simply not buying lotion bottled in plastic when possible. Furthermore, most store bought lotions are packed with toxic chemicals that are known to be hormone disruptors and carcinogenic.

What are the personal benefits of a lotion bar made with beeswax?

Beeswax has been used for the last two thousand years for human use in food and personal care, due to its many beneficial properties and its clean, natural profile. When used in personal body care products, beeswax is excellent at moisturizing and soothing skin without clogging pores, by creating a long-lasting barrier to protect skin from environmental pollutants and harsh, dry weather conditions. We make our lotion bars with beeswax, shea butter, and essential oils to ensure that users enjoy the benefits of beeswax, as well as the moisturizing properties of other natural ingredients.
