Exfoliating Vegetable Soap

Description

Each exfoliating vegetable soap we make is animal and earth friendly. They meet the requirements of those who prefer a vegan lifestyle. They also fit the needs of those who live kosher.

My Story

My concern for what is in my soap began around 2001. Prior to this, I had never considered whether the soap I used contained lard or other animal fats that aren’t considered clean by Biblical standards. Nor had I considered the cruelty to animals associated with making soap with animal fats. Yet, once my journey began toward coherence with all the Bible says about living a life that blesses the world in which we live, I discovered a passion for making planet-friendly soaps.

Why Make Exfoliating Vegetable Oil Soap?

• Charcoal not only gently buffs the skin, it helps to draw out impurities. It’s especially good for acne-prone skin at any age.
• Calendula flower petals help nourish the skin while acting as a very mild exfoliant.
• Oatmeal sooths irritated skin.
• Coffee grounds offer slightly more buffing power.
• Poppy seeds supply skin-calming mucilaginous properties along with gentle sloughing of dead skin cells.

Here are the Oils in Our Exfoliating Vegetable Soap

Apricot Kernel Oil

Our skin absorbs this oil, so using this oil ensures the soap conditions your skin.

Canola Oil

Also known as rapeseed oil, this oil moisturizes while producing a creamy lather. I also l like the fact it slows down the speed at which the soap sets up. That allows me to do more creative things with the soap’s pattern.

Castor Oil

This oil draws moisture into your skin while encouraging a rich non-drying lather.

Cocoa Butter

Known for producing a luxurious, moisturizing and creamy lather, cocoa butter also helps harden the soap.

Coconut Oil

Great at producing a hard bar of soap coconut oil is so super cleansing it dries your skin. This is the primary reason I add other oils instead of making 100% coconut oil soap.

Olive Oil, Pomace

This ancient oil is one of the most moisturizing. However, the lather feels slimy, especially if you have hard water.

Soybean Oil

Soaps containing this oil are mild and moisturizing. The lather it forms is low and creamy.
