Maylees Garden Vegan Soaps

Mmmmm, handmade soap. There is nothing quite like it. It can be used as a regular all purpose household cleaner, laundry soap, and for its more common purpose, bathing!

Handmade soaps are different from those you buy that are commercially made because for one thing, handmade soap is REAL soap.Commercially made soaps are nothing more than detergent bars that irritate,and dry out skin making you need to use a lotion which often dont work because it contains alcohol which we all know dries out skin even more.

None of my products contain alcohol. I put in all natural UNREFINED Shea butter when the soap is cool enough to put my hands in it. That way the heat doesnt break down any of the moisturizing properties of the shea butter. At this point is when I add in my fragrance oils or essential oils too. This keeps the smell from changing because its not undergoing tremendous heat like it would in a cold process soap.

My soap is Hot process meaning I process it different than some soap makers. I cook the lye out of the soap rather than let the soap sit for 6 weeks(cold process) to discharge the lye. When I put my hands in the soap to mix it, color, it and add fragrance and shea butter I know that soap is ready to take to the shower now. There is no lye left in it at all....it would eat my hands off if there was lye in it LOL

My soaps are molded in wooden molds and PVC pipes. Each round soap is about 3 inches wide, just the right size for your hand. I cut all my soaps to weigh no less that 3 ounces and usually no more than 4.5 ounces. I have so many complaints that they last too long so I started cutting them a bit smaller

With daily use you can expect to get about 1.5 to 2 weeks out of each bar. They are very long lasting and with the added shea butter leaves your skin soft and silky, not dried out and tight. You will feel squeaky clean but soft as a baby's butt at the same time.

Each soap is wrapped and packaged in wax paper to keep all the smelly goodness inside. I have created my own colorful labels I tape on each soap with my website address on the back.

Your soap will arrive to you fresh and smelling STRONG. I scent my soaps at normally 1 ounce of fragrance oil per pound and a half of soap. If the fragrance oil is super strong I use less of course. I love a strong smelling soap and I love smelling like my soap all day like a perfume. I have had reports of knowing my package was in the mailbox before opening the mailbox, they are scented THAT good. No weak scents in my shop! You WILL smell like this all day long I promise!
