Are your soaps natural? Vegan or Gluten Free?

Depends on what you mean by "natural". Natural doesn't have an industry standard definition. Our products our made by hand, with ethical, sustainable and local ingredients. We use both essential oils (pressed from a plant) and fragrant oils (made in a lab), we use only synthetic micas because when they are mined it is usually from unethical practices. We do use preservatives in some of our products because legally they need to be shelf stable and aren't safe to sell otherwise. Some of our products are unscented, not pigmented and don't contain preservatives. Looking for something specific message us and we will help you find what you need. All of our products are gluten free. Some of our products are vegan. We do use bees wax in our soaps, lip balms and body butter. We have a goat milk line of soaps and a lotion. Our shave soaps use tussah silk. Otherwise, we use plant oils and waxes in our products.
Can I host a private soap class?

Yes you can! 10 to 15 people is what we require to host a private class. You will get everything that we do in a public class. Two batches of soap (~16 to ~20 bars) one batch will use interesting ingredients (tea, coffee, wine, goat milk, or honey), the next batch will teach you a basic coloring technique. We will provide light refreshments, play games and you can win prizes. The cost of the class is the same ($70 to $75/person) If you would like a one on one class we can do that as well. We will go through the basics of soap making. You will get to measure out your own ingredients and we will explain how you calculate your ingredients. $25/hour of instruction. Email us, message us or give us a call and we will set it up. We ask for at least 2 weeks notice so we have time to prepare.
What is cold processed soap? Is there lye in my soap?

A water component (Water, Aloe, Beer, Wine, Tea, Coffee, etc..) and lye are combined. This produces heat. A combination of oils are calculated to react with the lye water and when you combine them saponification occurs. The water and oil become glycerin and soap. All of the lye is used up in the reaction and is no longer in your soap.
Are your candles scented with essential oils?

No. Essential oils are flammable. They smell nice but they can light your whole candle on fire becoming a safety risk. We use fragrant oils because they can handle the heat better. Candle products don't require an ingredient list. This means you can put anything you want in them and call them anything you want. If a drop of essential oil is added it can say scented with essential oils on the label.
