Smell Like A Monkey - Soap Fact Sheet
- Keep your soap dry between uses. It will stay harder and last a lot longer. If it sits in a puddle of water it will turn to mush.
- If your soap gets a white ash on it don’t worry, it is just dry soap and won’t hurt you. The first time you use it it washes off.
- Expect some variation in color, consistency, bar size and other features of the soap. It is handmade after all.
- All soaps are tested on the owners and on friends. We don’t do weird things to animals to test it. After all it is just soap and has been made in the same basic way for hundreds of years. But we do use some botanicals and scents that some people may react to. It hasn’t happened yet but people do have unique allergies. Please stop using the soap if it irritates your skin, and please send us an email.
- These soaps are designed to be less drying on your skin because all of the glycerin and other moisturizing properties have been left in. Your experience may differ because no two people's skin is alike.
- If your soap develops orange spots, (unlikely but possible) it may have sat around too long and the oils have started to oxidize. It will still work as soap but at some point you may not like the change in looks or smell. You can cut out the spots with a knife too.
- Why are your soaps more expensive than other handmade soaps? We use the cold process method and work from scratch with high quality vegetable oil ingredients. We make big bars that are consistent in size and utilize the highest quality packaging. At least 5 different oils are combined and some of our soaps have as many as 7 oils and butters. Soaps that are sold with ingredients such as sodium tallowate and glycerin as their most common ingredient are actually made from purchased slabs of commercially produced soap. They have been remixed with some new ingredients, scents and colors and packaged as handmade soap. They are not close to being the same product or the same process. Costs associated with, labor, storage, freshness, spoilage, curing, precision of measurement, and quality of ingredients are far lower with these methods than they are with hot and cold process soaps.
- Thank you for trying our handmade soap. Now get out there and swing from a vine.
