Our soap is milder than commercial soap and does not contain any harsh detergents or chemicals like store
bought products. Our products are not 100% natural due to the need for preservatives to keep products from going bad. The
FDA has no approved natural preservatives. So occasionally you may see an un-natural ingredient. Please read each product
ingredient if you have any kind of allergies. We will create any of our wonderful soaps or body care items unscented and/or
no coloring, Just tell us that's how you would like it made.
I've listed the ingredients below that I use in my products,
each item has a full description posted beneath the name.

properties. It is also know to help boost cell rejuvination.

Cyclomethicone
Most all of the ingredients
we use are natural,but some are not. We are very careful when selecting synthetic ingredients. We make sure that these are
proven to be beyond any doubt,safe to humans and not harmful to our environment. Cyclomethicone is one such ingredient. Cyclomethicone
is an unmodified silicone that stays on or near the surface of the skin. It evaporates quickly after helping to carry oils
into the top layer of skin. From there, they may be absorbed by the skin. It performs a similar function in hair care products
by helping nutrients enter the hair shaft. You find this ingredient in our Hair products, foot spray and our body and linen
sprays.
