Natural ingredients are blended in small batches and poured into wooden block molds. When ready, the soap is wire cut into bars, placed on oak drying frames and aged in a special curing room for nearly a month. This 200 year old Master Soapmaker's process removes excess alkali from the bar soap, a major cause of dryness and irritation often found in conventional bar soaps. Vermont Soapworks makes their bar soap from renewable vegetable and botanical sources such as saponified oils of palm, coconut and essential oils in aromatherapy blends. It is free of artificial colors, fragrances, animal by-products and preservatives.
Rosemary extract is used as a natural preservative.
This soothing handmade soap comes in several aromatherapy blends, such as Oatmeal Lavender, the most popular formula for dry skin therapy. Oat proteins heal dry skin while lavender oil relaxes pores. It is available at health food stores nationwide and can also be ordered online. Vermont Soapworks is the largest manufacturer of handcrafted natural bar soap in North America.
