The answer is - all of them! All of our soaps are handmade using the cold-process which means we don't heat oils over a point where they lose their beneficial skin care properties, and we don't extract the natural glycerine from the soaps like big companies do. Our base contains a blend of nourishing oils and butters which work to moisturize your skin deep down.

Handmade soap is more moisturizing because it contains glycerin, a natural by-product of the soap-making process, and because it has a bit of extra oil--superfatting, left over. Also, it does not contain the commonly-used dyes, perfumes, detergents and other synthetic ingredients, which can be harsh for human skin.

When activated by water, the Noxzema Moisturizing Strip provides lubrication and moisture while shaving, allowing the blades to glide on the skin. This makes your shave more comfortable, and decreases the risk of skin irritation.

We use ultramarines and iron oxides for our colorants. We never use FD&C colorings in any of our products. All of the colors in the soaps are all scented the same.

A.--That is one of the things my soaps are known for. When I develop a new recipe, one of the first things I look for is a good, fluffy lather. If the finished soap doesn't lather well, I will work with the recipe until it does.

Raising their free oil content by using added cocoa, shea, mango avocado, or other vegetable butters, hemp, black seed or other light oils at 1% to 3%, will enhance the "hand lotion in soap effect". Be sure to use extra rosemary extract to preserve free oils. Aloe vera, comfrey, milk proteins, oatmeal, beta glucans proteins etc. contain natural anti-inflammatory ingredients that help soothe irritated skin.

Our skin is our body's largest organ. Caring for it properly will have a very big impact on our overall well being. Cleansing, toning, moisturizing and protecting your skin are a must and we must all conform to religiously.

Superfatting a soap means that the amount of lye used has been reduced, so that there is extra oil that is not turned into soap. These extra oils are then available for your skin to make use of, in addition to the glycerine for their moisturizing properties.

Antibacterial soaps provide extra protection against bacteria that may cause many common illnesses.

Glycerin is naturally produced during the handmade soapmaking process. Glycerin costs more than soap which is why soap companies remove the glycerin.

Keep unused bars in a cool, dry place and use them within a few months of purchase.

Only if your skin reacts well to the same moisturizer all year round. Skin reaction typically fluctuates according to the changing seasons. The dryness of winter generally calls for richer nourishment, while the skin tends to prefer lighter moisturizing in the summer.
