Yes—real soap is made by combining oils/butters with sodium hydroxide (lye). During “saponification,” the lye reacts with the oils and is fully consumed, so no free lye remains in the finished bar.

Yes. Our formulas are cruelty-free and made without parabens, sulfates, or phthalates. Each product page lists every ingredient clearly.

Most customers get several weeks per bar, depending on use. Let bars dry between uses, keep them on a well-draining soap dish, and store spares in a cool, dry place—those simple steps make a big difference.

There’s no single “expiration date” for handcrafted soap; longevity depends on the oils used and how it’s stored. Kept cool and dry, bars generally stay at their best for about a year or more.

You don’t need antibacterial additives for everyday handwashing—plain soap and water remove germs effectively, and antibacterial soaps haven’t been shown to be better.

We choose gentle, skin-safe scent options and always disclose them on the label. If you have sensitive skin, do a simple patch test before full use and discontinue if irritation occurs.

Always review the full ingredient list on each product page and patch test first (inside elbow or forearm) for 7–10 days before regular use. If you’re unsure, consult your healthcare provider.

Our soaps are handcrafted in small batches. Natural colorants, essential oils, and swirl patterns can vary—appearance may differ a bit, but the recipe and quality stay consistent.

Yes—we’re a manufacturer and do wholesale and white-label. Because cold-process soap cures for about 4–6 weeks for best hardness and mildness, please allow for that lead time when planning.

Products that meet the federal definition of “soap” are regulated by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission; many other personal-care items (like lotions) are cosmetics regulated by FDA. Cosmetics (except color additives) aren’t “FDA-approved” before sale—manufacturers are responsible for safety and proper labeling.
