I make soap in my kitchen for my family. In the same way that I care about our food, I like knowing that if the soap "smells like vanilla" - it's real vanilla - not a lab chemical. I like to get clean with a clean soap. My soap is clean, meaning it contains no chemicals. I use vegetable/glycerin soap bases and pure essentials oils - no fragrance oils. I use organic botanicals, minerals and spices to enhance the colors of the soaps. Any exceptions are noted. Please note if you have allergies to any natural ingredients, do not use.
