My time to make soap has slowed down over the years, but we still use it every single day so when I realized we had just over a month’s worth of soap left (3 bars!!), I shoved a bunch of other “required chores” aside for a couple of weekends and made it happen! It was good to get back to …
It feels amazing to get back to making soap after so long, I’ve missed it. Today’s batches are the very first soaps made in our new home and omg, I love the room I’ve got to do it all.

On our FAQs page, I’ve details what is in our soaps, but in the interest of keeping that page short, I didn’t give a whole of information. I get frequent emails asking for more information about what is in our soaps, so I thought I’d bring all my answers together here. As stated in our FAQ page: “We use premium …
