FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WE SENSE YOU HAVE QUESTIONS.

- What is cold process soap? Cold process soap is a traditional method of making soap where fats or oils (like olive oil or coconut oil) are combined with sodium hydroxide lye (a strong base). This mixture undergoes a chemical reaction called saponification, resulting in soap.
- What are the ingredients in your soap? You can find our list of ingredients here.
- How much do your soaps weigh? Because our soaps are all handmade and hand-poured, each soap is going to vary slightly in weight. Our standard soap bars are going to weigh between 4.5 & 5.5 oz while our minibar soaps are between 1 & 2 oz.
- Are your soaps all-natural/organic/vegan/etc.? We offer a wide variety of soaps, with some being all-natural, certified organic, vegan, etc. All of our soaps have their unique ingredients listed on their product pages. All of our soaps are cruelty-free, paraben-free, and made of sustainable ingredients.
- What is the shelf life of your soap? While our soap has a shelf life of well over a year, actual shelf life may vary. Factors such as where the soap is stored, if it has been used, and other variables can effect your soap's shelf life.
