Old-Fashioned Lye Soap

There’s old time goodness in this all-vegetable Castile soap. Old Fashioned Lye Soap is great for bathing, shampooing and washing clothes. Its only scent is the pure, clean soap smell. The old soap making process we use retains natural glycerin as a moisturizer.

We don't want to brag, but this is probably a finer soap than Grandma used to make. We start with fresh food-grade oils in our bars—olive oil, soy oil and palm kernel oils. Together they make a bar that is moisturizing, that lathers well and is long-lasting.
