My soaps are crafted using the traditional cold process method, which involves combining oils, lye (sodium hydroxide), and water to create soap through a chemical reaction known as saponification. This method does not require external heat, hence the name "cold process."
Oils and butters—including olive oil, coconut oil, shea butter, avocado oil, and castor oil—are carefully combined with a lye solution to create a strong alkaline mixture. This solution is then blended with the oils at a specific temperature, usually between 90°F and 120°F, triggering saponification. During this reaction, fatty acids in the oils and butters are transformed into a soap batter. The saponification process takes approximately 24 to 48 hours, after which the soap undergoes a curing period of 4 to 6 weeks. This ensures that any remaining traces of lye are fully neutralized, leaving only fully saponified oils in the final product.
 

My carefully designed and tested formula ensures that all the lye is used during saponification and curing, while excess oils retain their unique skin benefits.
I use only the finest cold-pressed oils, skin-loving butters, plant-based botanicals, and pure essential oils to create gentle yet luxurious bars of soap. They are completely natural, free from synthetic colors, fragrances, parabens, and SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate). Additionally, I never have and never will use palm oil.

All my products are fully safety-assessed by Oxford Biosciences Ltd and comply with EU and UK cosmetic selling regulations.
