Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is lye included in your soap-making process?

To make cold processed soap, we must combine oils with sodium hydroxide (lye) to cause a chemical reaction called saponification. Once the saponification process is complete, the lye and oil have changed into soap and glycerin. No lye will be present in the finished product. 

Do you offer international shipping options?

No, we only ship within the United States.

Is it possible for me to have a gift wrapped and shipped to a different address other than my own?

We do not offer an option to gift wrap our products and ship to a different address other than the customer. We are looking into other ways to provide that option to our customers in the future.

Could you provide some information on how your website determines the shipping cost?

Our website determines the shipping cost at checkout using a third-party shipping service. The shipping cost is calculated based on the weight of the items in your order and the shipping address you provide. For more information on our shipping policies, please check out our "Shipping Policy" page on our website.

Do you make custom soaps?

Not at this time. We will be taking orders for custom soaps in the future. 

Do you offer local delivery?

No, we do not offer local delivery.

Why does my soap have white spots or lumps?

The white spots and lumps are bubbles caused by the stick blender that we use to blend our lye and oils together.  

I do not like the fragrance in the soap that I have purchased. Can I return or exchange the soap?

We do not accept returns or exchanges. Soap is a personal product; even if a customer did not open the package, we cannot resale the soap. We ask that each customer read the description of our products before purchase. You can find more information concerning returns and exchanges under our refund policy.

What can I do if the soap that I have purchased causes skin irritation?

As with any soap or cosmetic product, please discontinue use if skin irritation occurs and consult a physician.

How do I know that your product will not cause an allergic reaction?

Each product on our website has a complete list of ingredients. Please read over the list to determine (before purchasing) if this product is right for you.
