No, our products are not tested on animals. Only on willing humans.

Yes, currently all our soaps are vegan. We might introduce some soaps that contain Honey or milk in the future, but that will be stated clearly on the website and on the packaging.

Our soaps contain natural Essential Oils as well as fragrance oils that are Pthalate Free and skin safe.

Please note that using natural essential oils means that you may not leave the shower smelling like the soap you used. Essential oils are used to provide a mild aromatherapy experience during your bath.

Yes, all our soaps are formulated for the tenderest of skin. Do have a look at the essential oils on the ingredient list as some oils may cause irritation to very sensitive skin. if nothing else, we keep a range of bars formulated especially for sensitive skin, Lullaby.

In any case, patch tests are highly recommended before using our products. If you do experience any irritation, please discontinue use.

On receiving the soap, unwrap the soap and keep it in a cool, dry place like your cupboard where you can enjoy its scent.

To prolong the life of your soap in the bath, keep it on a well-drying soap dish, standing upright to allow for it to dry between uses. Please bear in mind that a well-drying dish will ensure that your soap lasts longer.

During the monsoons or if you live in a place with a humid climate, it is likely that your soap might not dry as easily. In such a situation, we recommend that you cut the soap in half and use one half at a time.

We’ve worked hard to ensure that no plastic goes into any of our packaging. From the recycled paper labels on the soaps to the paper tapes we use to seal our packages, we really avoid using any plastic whatsoever.

Our soaps are handcrafted in small batches and cut by hand and therefore no two bars will be alike. Various uncontrolled factors affect how saponification takes place and hence soaps vary from batch to batch as do designs. You might also find certain imperfections like small pockets of air or a whitish powder on the top of the soap called Soda Ash. All these are superficial and will in no way affect the quality of the bar of soap you are using. These are artisanal products so please allow for slight variations and imperfections, these make each bar unique and that’s what we love about it.

A well-drying soap dish along with keeping the soap dry between uses will prolong the life of your soap.

If you find the soaps are too big for your hands, feel free to cut them into half to make them easier to handle.

Essential oils tend to evaporate over time so we recommend using your soap within 3 months to enjoy its fragrance

Avoid using near the eyes. In case of burning in the eyes, flush with water.

Please conduct a patch test before using any product. In case of skin irritation please discontinue use.

Pregnant women and children should avoid using soaps that contain Peppermint Essential oil.

It is highly recommended for pregnant and breastfeeding women to check with their physician regarding which essential oils are safe to use.

For children, the soaps are safe to use. Some essential oils like Peppermint should be avoided by both children and Pregnant or Breastfeeding women.

Yes, we do! However, please note that cold process soaps take 4-6 weeks to cure. So if you’d like to place a custom order, we would need to finalize the design, fragrance etc. at least 2 months in advance to be able to give you your finished product in time.

For Bulk orders as well, unless we do have stock available you might need to place your order with us at least 6 weeks in advance.
