I only create your soaps based on pre-orders. Only if soap bars are left over they will be displayed here. As the demand is very high, I recommend pre-ordering your handmade soap bars to secure your soap stack.

Handmade Soap
There are different methods of making soap. However, the one I believe creates the best quality bar of soap is called the cold process method. This method creates gentle and mild soaps which cure over several weeks. Real handmade soap contains raw ingredients that include butters, fat or oil, and lye.
Most mass-produced bars we buy in the supermarkets have nothing in common with “real” soap as they contain synthetic ingredients such as harsh detergents,hardening agents, artificial fragrances and colours. These strip your skin off it's natural barrier and can leave it dry and irritated.
Bad for you, good for the industry. Instead of purchasing one product which cleans and moisturises you will have to buy two or more products to serve the same purpose.
I only use high quality, natural and raw, plant based oils and butters to produce my soaps. Not only does this create an incredibly gentle cleansing product, that supports the natural function of your skin. It also gives it a delicate and natural scent- without having to add any synthetic additives.
For better understanding what we put into and onto our bodies we should always read the labels on the back carefully.
Suitable for all skin types, especially sensitive and irritated skin.
Benefits:
Honey & beeswax have always had their place in the natural pharmacy. Both have calming, anti-inflammatory and healing effects. Thanks to the honey, this soap gets its wonderful foaming properties.
Raw shea butter has moisturizing properties and a calming and soothing effect. It also gives great consistency to the soap.
Coconut oil has moisturizing benefits and promotes wound healing. It also adds consistency to the soap.
Rapeseed oil is a fantastic local oil with moisturizing and antioxidant properties.
Linseed oil has a moisturizing and nourishing effect and contains a high percentage of linoleic acid.
