All of our handmade soap products are unique and one of a kind. If you purchase an item from our store, it will not be an exact duplication because of its handmade and unique nature. The soap may vary in color, weight, shape and fragrance. Our bodies are made up of different PH levels and the smell may differ from person to person.

Please note due to the use of natural colorants it is possible that some of our colorants may bleed. 

Our body and hair care products are handcrafted and some batches may be slightly thicker or thinner. Color may vary from batch to batch due to variations in the botanicals used to formulate the ingredients. This does not mean a formula change , nor does it decreases the product effectiveness.  

Our ingredients are updated as frequently as possible. Please refer to the ingredient listing on the packaging of your products to ensure all ingredients are suitable for your needs.
