Glycerine is made through the soapmaking process and benefits all our soaps and therefore your skin and hair also. How can glycerine benefit your skin? Glycerine acts as a humectant, which is a substance that allows the skin to retain moisture. It can increase skin hydration, relieve dryness, and refresh the skin's surface. It's also an emollient, which means it can soften skin.
Is glycerine good for your hair? It is particularly good for hair that's curly, thick, or frizzy, though it can be beneficial to all hair types. It's helpful for damaged hair and may condition well enough to stop breakage. Hair will appear to grow faster because it's not breaking off at the ends.
Why not add a 100% natural sisal soap saver pouch/bag to your order? It's mildly exfoliating and creates a great lather too! Hang it on the tap or in the shower. It is non slip, easy to hold, especially for small hands. It is best to take out your full size soap bars from the pouch to dry out after use but it is great for all the tiny bits of soaps you have so they can easily be used up. You can find it here: https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/TheSoapTreeYorkshireref=search_shop_redirect§ion_id=27933454
You can also choose to add a soap rack to your order which allows proper drainage. There are two to choose from, a light finish (Length 11.5 x Width 9 x Depth 1.7cm or dark finish ( Length 11 x Width 8 x Depth 2cm). These are 100% natural wood and fit our soaps well.

MORE ABOUT OUR SOAP RANGE BELOW:
HOW IS OUR SOAP MADE?
Our natural soap is handcrafted in Yorkshire, commonly known as God’s Own County for its natural beauty. The soap is 100% handmade using the traditional cold process method. It is made in small batches of 1.5kg and takes 4-6 weeks to rest, cure and become lovely mild bars of soap to enjoy. Each batch is hand mixed, poured, cut and wrapped by hand, giving each piece personal attention so that your bath or shower is a luxurious experience. I personally make this soap from zero, weighing, mixing, moulding, cutting and finishing each piece, all by hand. And I LOVE this! This is how I spend my week, making on a weekday and selling at craft fairs on a weekend.
WHAT IS IT MADE FROM?
It is made from a range of wonderfully conditioning oils and other natural ingredients to please body, mind and soul! All are suitable for face and body. Some contain essential oils or fragrance too. This is luxury soap with a creamy lather! The olive oil and coconut oil in my soaps are edible quality which make lovely pure soap. The main ingredients in the soaps are olive oil, shea butter, coconut oil and castor oil, so it is 100% vegetable oils making most of our soaps suitable for vegans.
SENSITIVE SKIN?
Our soaps are good for all skin types. Please check our feedback for peace of mind.
