Frequently Asked Questions

Do you really only use natural ingredients in your products?

Yes. From carrier oils and butters, to essential oils, colorants and preservatives, all of our ingredients are natural and/or organically produced. We do not use chemicals. We don't. And most of our suppliers are certified organic.
How long do your soaps last?

They say that handmade soaps only last one year because the essential oils or fragrance may become rancid. We only use 100% essential oils in our soaps. We have kept a stock of our very early soaps. It’s been a little over three years, and they are still very effective and foamy and smell even better. In fact, it feels like they are like wine: they have gotten better as they age.
What kind of natural preservative do you use in your face cream and lotion?

We use a natural product called Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate, Brand name: Leucidal SF Max. Check it out. It's made with radish root fermented with Leuconostoc, the same micro-organism used to make Kimchi!
