Because we're vegetarians, all our products are completely vegetarian, containing no animal fats. We start with the finest food grade oils like olive, palm, almond, and coconut. We then add to them even more healthy ingredients like herbs and herbal extracts, natural clays, micas, and oxides for coloring, and plant essential oils and specially formulated soap fragrance oils for scent. What we end up with are pure simple handmade soaps. We believe they are among the finest soaps available anywhere at any price. We are proud of everything we produce, and we know you'll be pleased with the look, feel and smell of all our products.
