Portuguese handmade soap

Cold-process saponification. Vegetable oils, caustic soda, time. No synthetic fragrance, no colourants, no industrial additives. What comes out is a dense bar that lasts, and that is kind to the skin and to the drains. These are the Portuguese soap makers who still work that way, in small batches, with a four to six week cure, using local ingredients (olive oil, goat's milk, honey, herbs). Every bar states the method and the ingredients.

This category is on its way, we are bringing producers on board. Check back soon.
