Handmade soaps have always been a passion of mine. Growing up my mother and I would collect the finest handmade soaps from our travels. When I got back home I loved the feeling of nostalgia as I used my new delicious soap, handmade with loving hands, free of anmial fats and tallows. I have always loved knowing that all natural products are being used on my skin.
My husband encouraged me to indulge my long time dream of soapmaking. So I began researching the processes, selcting my ingredients and experimenting with essential oil. I am vegetarian and have been since 1990 so obviously I wanted my soaps to be to. I don´t use any animal tallows or testing. I also decided to not use any unnatural frangrances or colorants.
Due to my own Hindu background I have always loved the hamsa symbol. Our family is very diverse with ancestors from Egypt, India, France, Colombia, Spain and Cuba. I have always been very proud to be multicultural and very thankful to know my background. While exploring different essentials I decided wanted to create a product that people will be able to relate to culturally. All the names of my body bars are culturally influenced.
I created this blog to document my processes and influences. Please feel free to ask me anything. Your comments are very appreciated.
