Oils...

We use 3 base oils in our main line of soaps. We chose our oils to be free of Soy and other harmful things. We wanted a great bar of soap. Over the yrs I have used so many different oils. from Animal fats to Crisco. I have tried many combinations. And one oil at a time. I had good results and less then that too. I had fun playing. But I am so glad to have the recipe we have used for 5 yrs or so. I love it! Coconut oil: It makes firmer bars. But too much makes a crumbly bar. Benefits include: Antimicrobial, anti fungal, antibacterial, Vitamin E, Vitamin K and minerals. It is great for Hair and skin care. A great moisturizer for dry skin. Coconut oil is used to treat Psoriasis, Dermatitis, Eczema and other skin infections. Olive oil: Olive oil is noted to be very moisturizing. It contains antioxidants, Vitamins A and E. It is said to have the ability to repair and renew free radical damage in skin. It can help protect and reverse damage and wrinkles caused by the sun, pollution, smoke and poor diet. It stimulates skin cells, that cause regrowth and maintain healthy skin. Safflower oil: Safflower oil has a great ability to remove dirt and oils from the skin. And provides a skin softening effect also. It contains Linoleic acid a essential fatty acid that is beneficial to the skin and hair.It absorbs into the skin easily and soothes and moisturizes and reconstructs skin. Soothes Bruises, irritations and acne. great for dry, chapped or cracked skin. In short our bars are moisturizing, dirt removing, skin protecting, nourishing bars. ;) We and our customers love them!
