How We Make Our Soap
Our soap making process begins with our all-vegetable, kosher, glycerin base, to which we add a bounty of skin-enriching ingredients. We blend in generous amounts of our own farm-fresh, creamy goat’s milk and a lot of golden honey, fresh from a nearby beekeeper.
Depending in the particular soap recipe, we stir in sunflower, sweet almond, or safflower oils, and shea or cocoa butters, wheat germ or ground oats.
We handpick ripe apples from a nearby orchard, gather juicy blackberries and raspberries from a neighbor’s field, and pick sun-warmed strawberries and pumpkins from vines at a local farm.
The next step is the fun part! We add the fruits, vegetables and botanicals that give each bar its name. We blend in our homegrown roses, honeysuckle and lavender, cucumbers and herbs.
The finishing touch for each batch of soap is
adding fragrance and
color. We use essential oils or cosmetic-grade fragrance oils and food
and soap-grade color (if needed).
Every batch of soap is made with love and care in our sunny
soap kitchen and then wrapped.
Testing Our Recipes
Our extended family is a large and close one, with many aunts, uncles and grandparents living nearby. Their jobs are fun and simple: they try our soap and cream recipes and then are duty-bound to let us know what they think.
Once they give the “thumbs up” (which usually includes some nice “oohs” and “ahhs”), our soaps are then made available to you, the customer. Why bother with animal testing when there are people around who are willing to tell the truth?!
