We PH test every batch of soap. All of our soaps have a PH level of around 9, which means the bar is very mild and gentle to the skin.
No, we do not use any harsh chemicals in our natural soap. Sodium Laurel Sulphate has been found to cause skin irritation. Our goal is to create products as natural and as healthy as possible.

Many find that Dove is the most gentle store-bought soap on the market. It used to be my go-to. Some people are afraid to try natural soap because they think Dove is more gentle. I won’t do a strict comparison, but I will say that handmade soaps are made with skin-loving ingredients. Dove uses detergents and other artificial ingredients.

Yes, we use animal products such as goats milk, honey, beeswax, and lard. Please see the ingredient list within each product listing.
Why we use goat milk: We use goat milk in some of our soaps. It has amazing benefits for the skin, especially for someone with sensitive skin. It is a good source of vitamin A (anti-aging properties) and boasts high amounts of fats, particularly caprylic acid, allowing for the gentle removal of dirt and debris without removing the skin’s natural fatty acids. It also has a good source of selenium, which is a mineral shown to support a healthy skin membrane. Lactic acid, a naturally occurring AHA found in goat milk soap, has been shown to gently remove the top layer of dead skin cells, allowing for a more youthful complexion and also controlling acne and dry skin.
Why we use honey: We use honey in many of our products. It’s great for skin care products and for soaps. Honey is antibacterial, and antiviral and can help balance bacteria on the skin. In addition, honey added to soap will naturally cleanse the skin, making it an effective soap bar. It imparts a light, warm, sweet scent, increases the lather, softens the skin, and acts as a humectant.
Why we use beeswax: Beeswax is a wonder product that has been around since the beginning of time. We are beekeepers, so we render our own beeswax. We save beeswax when we uncap honey to extract it, It has been used in soaps and creams for centuries, and has many benefits:
- Longer-lasting: Beeswax helps your skin retain moisture for a longer period of time, so you don’t have to worry about reapplying moisturizer throughout the day.
- Antibacterial: Beeswax contains propolis, which is known to be an antibacterial agent.
- Moisturizer: Beeswax is a natural ingredient that has been used for centuries to moisturize and condition your skin. It also helps your skin resist the signs of aging and damage.
- Anti-Inflammatory: Beeswax also has anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce redness and inflammation from skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis.
Why we use lard: We only use lard in a couple of soap bars. You can find the ingredients list with each product listing. Lard has been used to make soap for hundreds of years. It can be found in many conventional beauty products today. Lard has a number of wonderful benefits for your skin, so it’s easy to see why it has been used for so long and in so many products.

Lye, also known as Sodium Hydroxide or Caustic Soda, is a key ingredient in the saponification process. Sodium hydroxide (lye) and oils are blended together where they react to produce soap. Saponification is completed when all the sodium hydroxide (lye) and oils have been converted into soap. At the final stage of saponification there is no remaining sodium hydroxide (lye) in the soap base, so, no there is no sodium hydroxide (lye) in our soap bars.
If a soap maker is advertising their soap as “no lye” they likely used a melt and pour technique and are confused about lye being used. Melt and pour soap is a ready-made soap base composed of fatty acids, glycerin, and other natural ingredients. The base is produced through the “saponification” process, which involves mixing oils and lye (as described in the above paragraph). Therefore, lye was used, but because they purchased the melt and pour base, they personally did not have to use lye. The company that made the melt and pour base used the lye.
The soap makers then create their own soap with the melt and pour soap base that was already made with lye. Working with lye can be very dangerous to the untrained. Using melt and pour base is quicker, easier, and less dangerous to the soap maker.
I prefer to make soap myself from beginning to end, not that there’s is anything wrong with melt and pour. I prefer the old-fashioned way because this allows me to make soaps as natural as possible and with the exact ingredients that I prefer. Plus, I am old-fashioned and enjoy doing things the hard way.
We recommend to use our soap within a year of purchase. Our soaps last longer if you keep them out of direct streams of water and standing water. I recommend using a ventilated soap dish or any type of soap saver dish so the bar can dry between uses.
No, we do not sell anti-bacterial soap. Anti-bacterial soap is not effective according to the FDA. The FDA recommends using plain soap and water.
