Here at South Texas Naturals we are confident that, once you try our natural handmade soaps,
the wonderful changes in your skin will never let you go back to store-bought, chemical-filled products again.
Each batch of our soap is handmade from scratch
using time-honored traditions and techniques to
make our soaps completely from scratch.
We make these soaps the old fashioned way using
the cold process method. We only use the finest
vegetable oils we can find to create our soaps.
No animal fat or Lard is used in any of our
soaps. Each batch is
handmade and then set
to cure. This is an important part of the soap making process as it is where the water
evaporates from the soap and the soap becomes
harder and longer-lasting.
Also here at South Texas
Naturals, we can custom make your soap. If
you like a certain bar, but want it in another
fragrance or no fragrance, we will be glad to
make it for you. Just email us with your
request to learn more.
Caring for your soap
Any soap will melt if it sits in water, and handcrafted soap, with its
natural glycerin content and lack of synthetic additives, is particularly
susceptible. Storing your soap out of the direct shower stream and using a
draining soap dish to let it dry between uses will greatly prolong its life.
Did you know?
Legend has it that soap got its name from Mount Sapo, a hill in the Rome on
which animals were ritually sacrificed. At the bottom of the hill ran the
Tiber Rive, where people would gather daily to was their laundry. Rain
would trickle down the hill into the river, carrying with it a clay-like
substance of animal fats and wood ash residue from the sacrifices.
Some how, someone made the connection that the clay mixed in with the rivers'
water produced a foamy substance that made the laundry cleaner.
