Welcome! I am a designer and creator of homemade bath and beauty products. All my items are handmade by me. I spent a years studying and researching my craft. Most of my items are made with organic ingredients and contain no harsh chemicals or parabens. My soap contains the naturally occurring glycerin which is removed from store bought body bars and as such are no longer considered soap. Your skin is the largest organ and protects the body, so doesn't it make sense to treat it well? As an added benifit all the benefits of soft supple skin that is nourished.
