Soaps and Scents Soaps and Scents
 
Soaps & Scents is a cottage industry soap and skin care company. Only the highest quality ingredients are used to make the soaps and skin care products. All of my soaps contain added enrichment from shay butter, and many also contain cocoa butter, mango butter, hemp oil, aloe vera oil, and calendula oils; all are moisturizers and some are known to aid healing. We use essental oils and some fragrance oils in our products. Coloring is created by use of herbs, spices, botanicals, as well as oxides and cosmetic grade micas. Some of the soaps contain herbs, flowers, grains and seaweed for gentle exfoliation. The natural "glycerin" in handmade soaps is a humectants - which is vital to healthy skin moisture maintenance. Most factory-produced soaps remove the natural glycerin and sell it as a by-product. The
glycerin leaves a thin moisture film on your skin surface and allows your skin
to breathe without congesting pores.

Soaps cost more than some commercial soaps and some handmade soaps (not all handmade soaps are alike). You're paying for the best ingredients available. No animal or chemical additives, all vegetable oil-based, biodegradable and ph-balanced products. Only the highest grades of palm kernel, olive coconut oils and shay butter are chosen, then blended as a soap base. These oils are "saponified" the chemical conversion of oils into "soap" when mixed with water and sodium hydroxide (lye). No lye remains in the soap after the saponification process.
