Today, like most days, was spent making a batch of scrumptious bath soaps and I remembered that everyone always seem to ask "is your soap good for sensitive skin"? I always tell them the same thing. That's the reason I make natural soap. If the soap is good for sensitive skin, then i will be good for everyone who doesn't have troubled skin. Everyone wins. Of course, I do advise persons with super sensitive skin to stay away from the strong mints and stick with the milder bars of soap.

Good handmade soap makes an amazing difference in the feel of your skin, experienced right away. The soap kitchen soaps are made from scratch by talented artists in our workshops. Daily, vegetable oils are blended together with herbs and flowers and real essential oils and stirred in pots to create fragrant batches of luxurious, good soap.

They are completely vegetable-based with no animal fats added. Our own recipe consists of olive oil, coconut oil and soybean. Since inception this unique and balanced blend has created a long list of satisfied users who have seen a definite difference in the health of their skin.

Coconuts (the source of coconut oil) are grown in tropical regions where they grow wild, but they are also cultivated in Trinidad,Thailand, India, Indonesia, and Mexico. The coconut comes from the coconut palm (Cocos nucifera).

Olives (the source of olive oil) is primarily a crop that comes from Mediterranean countries. While some olives are grown in California, 95% of olives and the manufacturing of olive oil is still a business centered around Italy, Greece and Spain.


Soybeans (the source of soybean oil) have been a crucial crop in Asian countries since before written records were kept. However, today, 45% of the soybean growing area and 55% of soybean production is done in the United States. The addition of soybean to our main soap recipe creates a stable, consistent lather.

Benefits of creating our handmade soap:
  • artisan made by hand, not machine manufactured
  • includes all-natural products
  • all vegetable oils, contains no animal fat
  • most soap selections are vegan friendly
  • less likely to trigger allergies
  • scented with real essential oils derived from plants
So there you have it, I hope that answers all your questions my soap is now ready to pour into molds so i got to run

talk again soon.
