Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, all real soap requires lye (sodium hydroxide) to saponify oils, but there is no lye left in the finished product—it’s all transformed into gentle, skin-loving soap and natural glycerin.

Many of our bars are formulated with simple, gentle ingredients and are free from synthetic fragrances and dyes. Look for our unscented or mild cleansing options if you have extra-sensitive skin. All our soap descriptions include a "soap profile" that includes this information.

Cold process soap is made by mixing oils and lye without external heat, preserving the beneficial qualities of the ingredients. After pouring, it cures for 4–6 weeks to harden while reducing the moisture content. Once the soap has stopped losing moisture weight, it is ready to use.

With proper care—keeping it dry between uses—your bar can last 4 to 6 weeks, depending on use and storage.

Keep it dry between uses using a draining soap dish. For longer-term storage, keep bars in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.

In our Artisan Collection, we only use essential oils. In our Signature Collection, we may opt to use plant-based fragrance oils to give a scent that is not normally found in a true essential oil. However, we never "synthetic" fragrance oils.

Some of our soaps are vegan, using only plant-based oils. Others contain animal fats like tallow or lard for a creamy lather and hard bar. Vegan options are clearly labeled.

Tallow and lard create a long-lasting bar with a luxurious, creamy lather. These traditional fats are also incredibly gentle on skin and align with our mission to reduce waste by using every part of the animal.

We are committed to sustainability. If palm oil is used, it is always responsibly sourced—or we simply leave it out.

Soap doesn’t really expire, but they get better and last longer with age. However, natural scents and colorants don't last. To enjoy the bar in its full glory, use within a year of purchase.
