Honey Oats + Shea Soap
Our soaps are poured ONE BY ONE by hand into CHUNKY oval molds. It is far more labour intensive than pouring into large loaf or slab molds. As well, we are limited to much smaller batch sizes using the individual molds. We do it because an OVAL is the PERFECT shape for bar soap and we want your soap to be exceptional from the very first use :)
This soap is properly cured for a minimum of six weeks, spaced out on breathable untreated pine racks in a dedicated curing room kept at a humidity level below 40%. This ensures that the soap is hard, very long-lasting and extra mild on the skin.
This soap recipe contains about 20% shea butters. Our shea butter is raw, natural, handcrafted and fair-trade supporting women and children living in Northern Ghanaian villages.
One of the reasons I got into soapmaking was after reading the ingredients on a box of soap from a mountain of soaps at a big box store. It was a major brand and advertised as their premium "Shea Butter" soap! There musta been at least 40 ingredients in microprint with 'shea butter extract' second to last. Sigh. Don't let them do that to you! Let's protect ourselves and take a minute to ALWAYS read the ingredients!
This soap is unapologetically unscented but the sweet honey scent does come through a bit. Along with the anti-bacterial honey, this bar is loaded with skin-soothing oat milk!
Label says 4 ounces but it's more like 4.2-4.3 ounces
PALM OIL FREE but please note that this one has HONEY so it's not vegan!
Speaking of ingredients: Saponified Olive Oil, Shea Butter, Coconut Oil Sunflower Oil and Castor Oil; House-made Oat Milk; Raw Alberta Honey
*All soap bars are individually poured and will always vary slightly in appearance but not in the ingredients! Our soap is well-cured and will last quite a while when kept dry between uses!
