Question 1

What’s the best way to care for my natural soap?

Accepted Answer

To make your natural soap last longer, store unused bars in a dry, low-moisture spot where they can breathe and harden over time. For soaps in use, keep them on a grooved soap dish or soap saver to avoid sitting in water. High humidity or leaving them in puddles can shorten their lifespan.

Question 2

Is goats milk soap safe for sensitive skin?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Goats milk is known to be a great choice for skin with conditions such as eczema, psoriais, acne, etc.. 
 
Goats milk is amazing at fighting acne, very gentle and helps balance the PH levels of the skin. It helps to reduce skin inflammation, gently exfoliates and keeps that nasty bacteria at bay! It’s jam packed with vitamins A, B, C, and D which collectively helps to brighten the complexion. The acids in the milk help to scrub away dead skin cells. Vitamin A has shown to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles.

Question 3

Do your soaps contain any dyes or fragrances?

Accepted Answer

At Grace Gardens we only use natural colorants and fragrances!
Naturally occuring clays are used in our soaps to give them their earthy and natural tones. While they make for beautiful colors they also have many skin benefits as well! You will find the clays we use are commonly used to make masks and eco friendly wholesome skin care products!
 
As far as fragrance, we only use therapuetic grade essential oils. Essential oils are botanically based plant extracts and are full of vitamins and skin foods! We are cautious about which essential oils we use and always formulate our soaps to contain safe amounts.

Question 4

How strong are the scents in your soaps?

Accepted Answer

Our soaps are gently scented to be kind to your skin. Some oils naturally have stronger scents, while others are milder but still packed with skin benefits. We carefully balance essential oils to ensure a safe, soothing experience. As you use the soap, the scent may become more noticeable as the inner layers are revealed.

Question 5

Why does natural soap sometimes have ash or a powdery looking white substance on the tops?

Accepted Answer

Soda Ash can develop on top of natural soaps due to changes in climate (high humidity especially) and the process of cold process soap making can result in some ash. If you notice a little white on top, it will easily wash off and does not affect the quality and is completely safe to use.

Question 7

How long do your natural soaps last?

Accepted Answer

Our natural soaps can last 1-2 years if stored in a dry, room-temperature spot. Over time, you might notice some spots or changes in appearance, but rest assured, this doesn’t affect their quality or safety—just their look.

Question 8

What is cold process soap, and why is it special?

Accepted Answer

Cold process soap is a special way of making soap by combining oils and sodium hydroxide (lye), triggering a natural chemical reaction called saponification. This process creates soap that’s hydrating, cleansing, and nourishing for your skin. Each batch is hand-poured into molds, topped with natural botanicals, and crafted with care to create beautiful textures and swirls. It’s both an art and a science!
