Did you know? Natural Handcrafted Soap is made using the "saponification" process? A natural phenomenon that occurs by mixing a diluted lye mixture with warm natural oils.

After briefly stirring this mixture, the soap comes to "trace", a state in which the soap mixture will hold a drawn pattern. At this stage, the soapmaker adds nourishing ingredients such as essential oils for scent, organic clays for color, and fresh or dried herbs for medicinal or aesthetic reasons.

The soap mixture, now resembling a heavy cream, is poured into a mold where it will rest for twenty-four hours for the saponification process to complete. The next day the soapmaker will remove the soap, now hardened and fully formed from the mold. The Natural Soapmaker then slices the soap into bars and lays them to dry.

The soap can then be stamped and wrapped. Contrary to popular belief, lye is used in the soapmaking process but not present in the final natural soap.
