At Homestead Soaps by Laura, we strive to make you the highest quality products at a reasonable price. We only source ingredients from ethical suppliers, (most of which are small businesses themselves), that provide us with not only high quality ingredients, but great customer service, data and testing information as well as recipe support, suggested uses and more. Since we test every product before we offer it to our customers and we use them ALL regularly ourselves, it is with the utmost importance that we understand every facet of the ingredients we use! We can confidently say we would never offer something for sale to you that we don't use ourselves! What are some of your favorite skin loving ingredients?

If you've never used hand made, cold processed soap then you may ask what's so special? If you have, you already know what all the fuss is about! One of the main advantages is cold process soaps have glycerin.  Glycerin in soap making is a naturally occurring by-product of the saponification process that adds humectant properties. It's also found in many high end cosmetic products. Did you know that commercially produced bars often contain negligible amounts, if any, glycerin? Many commercially produced bars do contain synthetic detergents. You're not a pile of dirty dishes - skip the detergent and use the good soap! ;-) Another advantage to handmade, cold process soaps are the natural ingredients you can pronounce! You'll find ingredients on our labels that you probably have in your pantry such as Olive Oil, Coconut Oil, Sunflower Oil & Vegetable Lard. Other natural ingredients used include Bentonite Clay, Rose Clay, Activated Charcoal & Spinach Powder to name a few. You'll also find high end oils and butters such as Hemp, Shea, Palm & Jojoba, Sweet Almond & Castor. What are some of your favorite qualities of cold processed soaps and why should someone who's never tried it give it a suds?🤣🧼🚿
