For my handmade soap, I only use plant-based natural ingredients. I start with a base of organic olive oil, organic sustain-ably sourced palm oil, and organic coconut oil. Olive oil is a great moisturizer, palm oil creates a rich lather, and coconut oil has excellent cleansing strength. I then add essential oils and plant based special ingredients for their healing and calming properties. My soap is long lasting and washes away cleanly due to the precise ratio of oils used in each recipe. After use, skin feels moisturized, silky and clean. No need for harsh, dangerous, synthetic chemicals!
