Soap Creations by Kris

My soap is handmade the old fashioned way – by scratch (cold-processed). It contains some of the best skin loving ingredients you can find. I do not use animal fat in my products. The soap bars take 4-5 weeks to cure. (The curing process is complete when you receive the soap).  The ingredients that I use in my soap are: Olive Oil, Coconut Oil, Palm Oil, Palm Kernel Oil,  Distilled Water, Sodium Hydroxide (Lye), Shea Butter, Vitamin E Oil, Avocado Oil and Essential Oils.

Olive oil is a very good moisturizer, not because it has its own healing properties, but because it attracts external moisture, holds down the moisture close to the skin, and forms a breathable film to prevent loss of internal moisture. Olive oil does not block the natural functions of the skin while performing its own. The skin is able to continue sweating, releasing sebum and shedding dead skin. Olive oil, Jojoba oil, shea butter, kukui nut oil and some other natural materials do not inhibit these necessary functions.

Olive oil soaps produce a slow and stingy lather, they are mild and clean well. The soaps made with olive oil are generally safe enough for sensitive skin and babies.
