We think you should know EXACTLY what you put on your skin. Our soaps begin with 100% natural, food grade, nourishing oils such as Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Prime Pressed Cocoa Butter, Golden Jojoba, Coconut Oil, Palm Oil, Palm Kernel Oil and Cold Pressed Castor Oil. These blends of oils have been formulated to work with your body to nourish, balance and clean your skin. The quality of our soap can be noticed right away by the lather it creates and the response of your skin. After selecting our base oils we add Wild Crafted Herbs, Botanicals and 100% pure Essential Oils. Each of our soaps has been formulated for a purpose. Essential Oils contain healing properties and we refuse to use synthetic ingredients that destroy the natural and beautiful balance of the skin.
