Frequently Asked Questions
Which soap is best for sensitive or dry skin?
Our Lavender & Jasmine Rose Clay is specifically recommended for dry and sensitive skin. The rose clay gently tones and cleanses without stripping, while the lavender and jasmine oils soothe irritation. All our soaps are free from synthetic fragrances, preservatives, and colorants, making them gentle for all skin types.
Which soap is best for oily or acne-prone skin?
The Lemongrass & Cocoa Butter soap is excellent for oily skin — lemongrass is naturally astringent and helps balance oil production. The Guinness Beer Soap is also great — brewer's yeast has long been known to fight bacteria and help prevent acne.
Which soap makes the best gift for a man?
The Guinness Beer & Oatmeal Soap is our most popular choice for men — it has a fresh, clean scent (not floral), and the Guinness, oatmeal, and shea butter combination is deeply nourishing. The Florida Citrus is also a great unisex option.
How long does each bar last?
With proper care — stored on a well-draining soap dish and kept dry between uses — each bar lasts approximately 4–6 weeks with daily use. This makes them excellent value at $17.99 per bar. Tip: cut larger bars in half and store the unused portion in a drawer or closet — it will also make your linens smell wonderful!
Are these soaps safe for children?
Yes! Because our soaps contain no synthetic fragrances, preservatives, or harsh chemicals, they are gentle enough for all ages. The natural ingredients — oatmeal, goat's milk, honey, olive oil — are all skin-safe and commonly used in baby and children's skincare.
Can't decide which soap to choose?
That's exactly why we created the Five-Piece Gift Basket! It includes a curated selection of our best bars, beautifully presented and ready to gift. It's our most popular option for people who want to try a variety — or give a gift that truly impresses.
Our Geranium soap with French rose clay, cleans and balances the complexion by removing excess oils without drying your skin. French rose clay is good for those with either oily skin or dry congested skin.. The natural fragrance comes from the essential oil of Egyptian rose geranium, sweet, heavy aroma, sophisticated, fresh floral somewhat like rose with a minty overtone. Pelargonium graveolens, the rose-scented geranium, belongs to the same plant genus as the popular red-flowered window box geranium. Geraniums are native to arid areas of South Africa's Cape Province. The plant is highly drought resistant, thanks to its semi-succulent, water-conserving stems and leaves. Popular during the Victorian era, rose geranium was often kept potted in parlors were a fresh sprig was always available to revive the senses. The fresh leaves were also offered in finger bowls at formal dining tables. Today, geranium is an indispensable aromatherapy oil. It's one of the best skincare oils, offering relief from congested, oily and dry skin. On an emotional level, geranium promotes stability and balance. Our products never contain synthetic fragrance oils. Created with French rose clay to absorb dirt oil and toxins from the skin while it cleanses and tones for soft and radiant skin. Unlike other clays, French rose clay is mild enough to be use every day without drying out your skin . With a olive , palm, and coconut oil base and cocoa butter added for richness, it makes this soap a wonderful soap with amazing lather and scent. Finally we fold in crushed flowers to make the soap a real mild natural exfoliant.
