"About Face" facial soap is a sea salt (Soleseife) soap, made with mediterranean sea salt brine. It's smooth, not scratchy, as the salt is dissolved into the water before being blended into soap. Tea Tree and Lavender essential oils, activated charcoal and French green clay are the featured ingredients in this soap. Makes your skin feel like a day at the beach (without the sunburn)!

Handmade soap contains more oil than is needed to make soap and therefore will not strip your skin or leave you ashy or scaly.
Soap and water is recommended by the CDC as the best means of sanitizing your skin. You can use my soap on your hands, face and body.
Many of my soaps are also available in scrubs or luxe body butters for a luxurious bath experience, and for gifting.
I started making soap because we loved the feel of handcrafted soap, and my husband's problem skin responded well to the gentle formula. We used to joke that he had "lizard skin" but since we started using handcrafted soap, that is not the case anymore!
The process of making true soap requires lye (sodium hydroxide). Without lye you won't have a bar of soap. When soap is properly made and cured, the lye has turned the oil ingredients unto glycerine and salt, and is gone. Lye is no longer part of the soap.
No more lizard skin, darling!
