SOAP QUESTIONS

AUBURN WOODS ARTISAN SOAPS

  • small batch - hand crafted cold process soap
  • scented with pure essential oils 
  • gentle - for all skin types
  • beneficial natural clays, botanicals and herbs
  • combination of oils and butters for skin loving softness
  • no artificial colors, fragrance, or preservatives

COLD PROCESS SOAP: 

  • Our soap is made using the cold process method. Cold Process Soap is real soap made with lye (sodium hydroxide) and oils.
  • Saponification is the reaction that occurs when we mix oils with lye. After this process there are neither oils or lye - the result is natural skin loving soap and glycerin.
  • We cure our soaps for 4-6 weeks.  This produces a hard, long-lasting, and high-quality bar of soap.

KNOW YOUR INGREDIENTS - LOVE YOUR SKIN

  • soap is gentle and doesn't strip the moisture from your hands/body
  • beauty bars, cleansing bars, and hand/body wash are not soap - they are made from synthetic ingredients like petroleum-based products. 
  • your skin is your largest organ - know your ingredients - love your skin

HOW TO USE:

  • HAND SOAP - use by the bathroom & kitchen sink - bar soaps are great at cleansing and less expensive and longer lasting than liquid soaps - they are better for your skin and better for the environment - you might even find your hands don't dry out like with liquid cleanser
  • SHOWER SOAP - no more plastic bottles of "body wash" needed.  
  • SHAMPOO BARS - just lather, rinse, and repeat
  • FACIAL SOAP - while you can definitely use all of our soaps as a facial soap (except the exfoliating bars) we did make a few that are specifically for face
  • SOAP LIFT - keeps your soap dry which is the key to help them last longer and not stick to soap dish - water drains through and soap stays on top.
