I specialize in cold process soaps. My soaps are cold processed with natural ingredients, essential oils, fruits and vegetables. Great research and study went into each type of bar. All recipes are tried and true. I don't use glycerin in my soaps. Olive oil and Goat's Milk are a base in most of my soap bars. There are no ingredients in my soaps that you will no be able to pronounce unlike the bar soaps from the stores. My soaps are made with Lye, however, Lye mixed with the oils goes through a process called "saponification", which allows the oils and fats to turn into soap; so the Lye is no longer a danger. Most of my soaps do not have fragrance. If your skin is sensitive, don't buy the soaps with essential oils or fragrance oils.
