Announcement: Bar Soap Takes a Holiday

We are currently having problems keeping some of our from-scratch soapmaking materials from going rancid in the warehouse. I'm frantically re-ordering supplies as the funds become available and rearranging things so the new shipments will be better protected against temperature fluctuations.

All of this is going to take time. As such, the following bar soaps (in their current form) will be cut from the catalog for the time being:

-Sunny Disposition
-Oatmeal Cookie
-Vanilla Cake
-Rosewood & Amber
-French Lavender
-Aloe & Vitamin E


All of the above scents (with the exception of Aloe & Vitamin E), will be made available in the form of shaped soaps. For the unfamiliar, my shaped soaps are clear and opaque cold-process soap formulated to allow use in the melt & pour technique. It is made with the following ingredients:

Coconut Oil
Palm Oil
Safflower Oil
Glycerine (kosher, of vegetable origin)
Purified Water
Sodium Hydroxide (saponifying agent)
Sorbitol (moisturizer)
Sorbitan oleate (emulsifer)
Soy bean protein (conditioner)
Titanium Dioxide (mineral whitener used in opaque soaps)

Stay tuned for new updates as things develop.
