All Inspired by, and for, my own children and family! Everyone has different needs and wants in a bar of soap. Be sure to read the description for each item as each one is unique in ingredients and additives. I like to make a large variety of styles to keep it fun, but I also keep my natural line stocked for everyday use. I'm working on restocking for this year now. Many are unique in scent strength whether it's strong, light, or even unscented. Feel free to message me with any questions. Types of colorants used vary from skin safe micas to completely natural in both soaps, bath salts, and bath bombs. I play with ingredients some as well, so while most are vegan, I do make the occasional goats milk face bar, or honey and charcoal face soap. If you are unsure feel free to message me. I'll be glad to answer any questions and may be able to direct you to the perfect item just for you or a loved one! All soaps leave your skin clean.

Just like anything else, not all handmade soaps are created equal. Here is a bit about handmade, from scratch, soaps. Soap is technically a byproduct of a chemical reaction between fat and lye. Take away one or the other and you no longer have soap. Many commercial bars aren’t even technically soap. They are bars that use chemical detergents to cleanse your skin. In fact, many of them are too effective, and will actually strip your skin of its natural oils and leave it feeling dry and tight after use. This is done by large commercial companies for two reasons. One it is cheaper to make bars this way. This also creates (or increases) the need for lotion or other moisturizers to counteract the way your skin feels after using the detergent based bar. Our soap retains all the glycerin that is a natural byproduct of the soap making process and that combined with the skin loving oils and butters in our recipes create a bar that is gentle and cleansing but doesn’t strip your skin of it’s natural oils.At WithMyHandsAndHeart♡ we are passionate about making soap as well as bath and body products with the highest quality ingredients. Be careful, good soap can become an addiction! It has for me... ♡ Some remember their grandparents making soap the old-fashioned way and that it was also a harsh experience. This is also due to the quality of ingredients. It was common at that time to make your own lye, which wasn’t always the same strength. If the ratio of lye and oils is off by even a tiny amount the finished product could have some lye in it, which is a caustic ingredient, and not good for your skin. Well-made handmade soap will always ensure there is an extra amount of oils to react with 100% of the lye to ensure it has completely transformed the oils into soap.
