Grandma's Natural Handcrafted Soap Company
Fresh, Natural, Healthy
What do you get when you combine a chef and a naturalist?
No, it's not a trick question.
The result is beautifully handcrafted soap from Natural Handcrafted
Soap, a Raleigh, N.C.-based company.
"Making soap is a lot like cooking," Nick, co-owner of Natural
Handcrafted Soap, explains. "It requires blending ingredients and
getting just the right balance."
Nick's partner, who hails from Brazil, was handed down recipes from her
grandmother that included natural ingredients from the rain forest for
soaps that really make a difference on one's skin.
Our handmade/ handcrafted soaps are formulated to deliver the very best
in skin care while using only safe, truly natural ingredients. We never use
harmful synthetic chemicals, preservatives,
artificial dyes, or synthetic fragrance
oils.
All of our soaps are made in small batches to ensure the quality of each batch. We hand stir, hand cut and hand wrap every bar.
We even make our own wrapper. Every bar is given a long cure period so that when it reaches you it is mild and ready to use..
Our soap is scented naturally with only luxurious essential oils or
absolutes extracted from natural plant sources for skin healing
benefits; we also add herbs, butters, spices and natural botanical s for
exfoliating texture and natural coloring. Each bar of natural soap is
hand-cut and hand packed.
Our handcrafted soap is made in small batches using a cold process.. We
select the highest quality pure oils from around the world, such as olive
oil ,coconut oil , avocado oil , sweet almond oil, hemp oil, palm
kernel oil, jojoba oil, and soy oil. We also use rich butters and other
rich oils to enhance the moisturizing capabilities of the soap, butters
and oils like cocoa butter, shea butter, mango butter, honey, aloe vera,
castor oil, lanolin oil, essential oils, natural herbs, safe fragrance
oils add to the soap's scent. Natural herb powders, herbs and clays add color to our soap; and
botanical s, and other natural ingredients add texture and exfoliates.
Glycerin is naturally produced during the soap making process. In fact,
pound for pound, glycerin costs more than soap, which is why most soap
companies remove the glycerin from the soap and sell it to manufacturers
of lotion. We do not remove the glycerin from our handcrafted soap, so
when you purchase soap made by us, it contains all of the naturally
occurring glycerin. With our handcrafted soap you get a fabulous
cleanser and a moisturizer all in one, which was created for top
moisturizing ability.
Using commercial soaps over time leave your skin dried out, or way to
oily ,and feeling like its never clean. Natural handmade soap, that only
uses natural ingredients, can restore the moisture to your skin, while
still getting you clean. You will be amazed at the difference!
Handmade Soap is soap in its true, pure form. It gently cleanses away
excess oils and bacteria, but doesn't strip your skin of its natural
oils.
Why you may ask, should I buy handmade soap when I can get more soap for less money at the grocery store?
Generally, the commercial soaps carried at most chain stores, etc. are
full of chemical additives, additives that not only dry out your skin
but can lead to rashes and other irritations. This is not only because of
the synthetic additives in the soap but also because most soap
companies take the glycerin out of their soap. The commercial soap bars
that line most grocery stores’ shelves are actually synthetic
detergents. While that's great for your dishes, it's not very good for
your skin.
Century Old Family of Natural Handcrafted Soap Santa Lucia Murari Borba was a farmer's daughter from Murari's
Borba, born in Italy 1904.
She moved to Brazil in 1917 from her home in
Tuscany - Italy , where she had to learn to make soap from scratch and
essential oils from the plants out of necessity.
After years of making soap for her 13 children, her family
finally convinced her to open a small soap shop in Sao Paulo - Brazil
where she made soaps with her family for 25 years,
those soap recipes
found there way to North Carolina last year when I went back to Brazil
for Christmas and asked grandmother for food recipes to bring back to
NC.
While looking through boxes of recipes we came across all her old
soap and essential oil recipes.
