What's in Our Soap? Our Ingredients, Explained
I believe you should know exactly what you're putting on your skin. So here's a look at what goes into our soap, one ingredient at a time.
The Three in Every Bar
Shea Butter
The star of every bar. Shea butter comes from the nuts of the shea tree. It helps skin hold on to moisture and makes a creamy, firm bar. That's why we keep "shea butter soap" right in our names.
Coconut Milk
Coconut milk gives our soap a rich, creamy lather that feels gentle on your skin.
Kaolin Clay
Kaolin is the softest, gentlest clay. It gives the bar a silky feel and helps lift away dirt and oil.
Plant Oils
We blend plant oils with our shea butter. Each oil adds something different, like lather, hardness or a soft feel.
Lye
Every real soap is made with lye. Don't worry: lye reacts with the oils and butters to become soap. When soap is made and cured the right way, no lye is left in the finished bar.
Natural Glycerin
Glycerin forms naturally when soap is made. In handmade soap, it stays in the bar and helps keep skin soft.
Scent
Our PURE collection uses essential oils. Our Signature soaps use phthalate-free fragrance oils.
Special Extras
Some bars have extras like oats, manuka honey, sea moss, sea kelp or turmeric. Our facial soaps have extra shea butter, coconut milk and sea moss, plus a special clay.
What We Leave Out
- Sulfates
- Parabens

Every product page lists what's inside. If you ever have a question, just reach out. I'm always happy to talk soap.
