We've been working behind the scenes for a new collection. Old Fashioned, traditional, basic, simple soaps, like what our ancestors made will now be making their way to our shelves. Let me introduceto you our Heritage Collection.
These are very simple soaps nothing fancy, just like they made for centuries. The only difference is wood ash vs. Sodium Hydroxide. Wood ashes are no longer needed in modern days to make soap. Instead Sodium Hydroxide is the replacement and what is needed to make soap.
Each one in this Collection was carefully selected, researched, and brought to me to review for approval. In the future, we will add more in this Collection.
The early Collection will include:
🧼 The Pioneer Bar. One of the oldest types of soap. This 3 ingredient soap is simple, but beneficial. Soap Ingredients are; Grass-Fed Beef Tallow, Distilled Water, Sodium Hydroxide. That's it!
🧼 The Homestead Bar. Just like the Pioneer Bar, not many people centuries ago could afford beef tallow so instead they used Lard. I use Organic Lard in my soap. Soap Ingredients are; Organic Lard, Distilled Water, Sodium Hydroxide, Sugar (bubbles) and salt (hardener). These two ingredients were added in the 1800's to help with the soap.
🧼 The Atlantic Belle. This is a duplication of the RMS Titanic First Class Soap. We used Phthalate Free Fragrance instead of basic oils like they would had in the old days for fragrance. Soap Ingredients are; Organic Lard, Olive, Castor, Coconut, Shea Butter, Distilled Water, Sodium Hydroxide, Phthalate Free Fragrance.
🧼 Floriography. The name is a beautiful Victorian name for a Victorian era soap. Again, we used Phthalate Free Fragrance instead of the "fragrance oils" they had back then. Soap Ingredients are; Grass-Fed Beef Tallow, Distilled Water, Sodium Hydroxide, Phthalate Free Fragrance, Lavender and Rose Petals.
We cannot wait to share this Collection with you when its finished and cured. We hope you'll love it as much as we do.
Fun fact: The Homestead Bar was the very first soap I ever made that relieved Jayden of his skin issues when he was a baby. That was 18 and a half years ago (almost). ☺️
