Ingredients

The soaps are crafted using quality oils that have benefits for your skin:

*Palm Kernel Oil helps contribute to a hard bar. (please read the note below concerning Palm).

Castor Oil is also known for its cleansing properties, boosting lather, and for being a humectant.

Sweet Almond Oil adds to the moisturizing, conditioning, and nourishing properties of the soap. 

*Palm Oil is currently being phased out as an ingredient used in the soap. I encourage you to Google (or employ whatever search engine you so desire) to research the devastation that the palm oil industry has on the environment. This devastation includes deforestation, habitat degradation, climate change, animal cruelty and indigenous rights abuses. There are palm oils out there that are responsibly sourced and sustainable.
