Real Soap for Real Skin! Why are Wild Women Soaps better than what you can buy at the local discount store? Wild Women Soaps are actually soap, for one thing. Most of the "soap" you buy in the store isn't soap at all. It's detergent (notice phrases like "beauty bar"and "bath bar"). These are made from synthetic chemicals, animal products and low-grade petroleum oils. The few bars that are soap often have the main moisturizing ingredient - glycerin - removed so the manufacturer can sell it separately at a premium price. Glycerin, a naturally occurring by-product of the soapmaking process, is a humectant. That means it helps attract moisture to your skin. Wild Women Soaps contain all their natural glycerin and, additionally, are "super-fatted" so they're extremely beneficial to your skin. We carefully choose the finest ingredients to ensure that your experience is wildly sensuous.
Our basic soap recipe includes olive, coconut and palm oil. Olive oil is a skin blessing that moisturizes, conditions and soothes. Coconut oil, pressed from dried coconut meat, is also powerfully moisturizing while adding super cleansing elements and a killer lather. Palm oil gives hardness to the bars and also adds to its cleansing and lathering abilities. Additionally, each of our soaps has a unique recipe featuring one or more of these wondrous plant oils and butters-- sweet almond, apricot kernel, avocado, castor bean, grapeseed, hemp seed, jojoba, kukui nut, wheatgerm, vitamin E, sesame, rose hip seed, cocoa butter, mango butter and shea butter.
Saponification is the chemical process that occurs between oils and lye to make natural soap - we actually enjoy shouting, "SAPONIFICATION," during soapmaking - for it is an extraordinary process of chemistry intertwined with art and imagination and the synergy of it all is pure passion! Right before the soap is poured into molds essential oils, fragrance oils, herbs, exfoliants and/or colorants are mixed in to give our soaps the Wild Women edge.
Each soap batch is lovingly crafted from scratch in our studio, hand-cut and cured for four weeks. This way our soaps are at their peak when you step into your shower.
Wild Women Soaps is an earth-friendly business. We make every effort to utilize recycled materials and re-use or recycle all packaging sent from suppliers. We strive to operate an environmentally sound business living in harmony with the earth. Enjoy!
To help your soap last longer, make sure it doesn't sit in standing water between your showers or baths.
