5 out of 5 starsI love this shampoo bar. I've tried several shampoo bars but this is by far the best. It leaves my hair soft, weightless, and shiny and I can go 7-10 days between shampoos. Other shampoo bars have left my hair heavy and weighed down, and my scalp with a oily-feeling residue, but this one does not. I also use the conditioning bar, another great product. Super fast shipping too!

Frequently asked questions
What is handcrafted, cold process soap?
Handcrafted cold process soap is soap in its purist and true form. True soap is created from the chemical reaction that occurs when combining a lye (sodium hydroxide) with oils (vegetable or animal) and water. This chemical reaction is called "saponification" and transforms these base ingredients into soap.
What is the difference between cold process and glycerin soap?
Glycerin is a byproduct of the "saponification" or soap making process and therefore exists in every bar of handcrafted soap. Soap labeled as glycerin soap is created from a premade base that has already gone through the saponification process. These glycerin soap bases allow soapmakers to create soaps in many shapes and styles allowing for a lot of creativity in the finished product. Both cold process and glycerin soaps contain glycerin which is a humectant that attracts and retains moisture on your skin.
Why buy handcrafted soap?
Commercial manufacturers remove the nourishing glycerin by product from soap to add to other products. This is why so many commercial soap products strip your skin of its natural oils and leave it dry. Handcrafted soaps also contains no harsh chemical detergents or lathering agents. Only products created through the saponification process of combining lye, water and oils can be labeled and sold as "Soap". It is always a good idea to read product labels and ingredient lists.
Why did the bar I receive look different from the product picture?
Each bar is unique and many are cut by hand. Many of the artisan designs are created individually, one at a time. The images show a representation of what the bars in the finished batch look like, but there may be some variations as no two bars will ever be identical.
Is your soap organic?
Some of the base oils used are organic but not all of them, therefore the finished product cannot be labeled as organic.
How long will my soap last?
This can and will vary from soap to soap and scent to scent. Some scents have strong staying power and others may fade over time. Some will fade on the surface of the bar, but will come out when used.
Do you use sustainable palm oil?
Yes, I only purchase and use organic, sustainable palm oil.
Do you use animal products in your soap or other products?
Most soaps use all vegetable, fruit and nut based oils and butters. The exception would be any goat's milk soap or soap with added silk. Lip balms and body balms are created with beeswax.
What is Felted Soap
Felted Soap is a bar of soap that is completely encased in wool so it becomes soap and washcloth in one. It will offer mild exfoliation as you use it to clean your skin. Felted soaps can be as simple as a solid color wool encasing the soap or as complex as a mini work of art. Felted soaps are great for oneself and make unique and wonderful one of a kind gifts to others.
