Welcome to Alex's Handcrafted Soaps
 

Remember (or imagine) how you feel when your skin is refreshed and moisturised with natural products.

A luscious bath leaves you feeling relaxed and your skin soft and smelling delicious for hours afterwards. A luscious shampoo encourages your hair's natural oil production and gives it a beautiful natural shine.

Your delicate skin is gently moisturised and refreshed, sensitive skin soothed. Not an indulgence but rather a reconnection with your body's natural balance.

That is the passion that is poured into every product that I make for you onsite in my family's homestead here in the beautiful Adelaide Hills between the townships of Macclesfield and Strathalbyn: the passion to reconnect to natural balance.

Handcrafted Soap Bars are made with combinations of oil chosen for the qualities they bring to the soap.

The oils are turned into soap through the process of saponification, using lye as the alkaline reactant. A cold process is used to retain the naturally moisturising glycerine. The soaps are left to cure for a minimum of 4 weeks. Each bar is then individually cut by hand so that it will have its own character. Bars vary in weight from 100 to 120 grams.

Some of the natural colourings that may be used include mineral clays, coffee, cocoa, spices and flowers. They are fragranced with either Essential Oils, Fragrant oils or a combination of both.

Please know that out of respect for the endangered Orang-utan and their habitat I do not use palm oil in any of my products. For more detail about this see www.orangutan.org.au and www.palmoilaction.org.au

 

 

The Shampoo Bars are made using the same processes as for Soap Bars.

The oil combination is different but again chosen for the qualities they bring to the shampoo.

They can also be used as a shaving cream or body soap.

Usually there is no need to use conditioner after shampooing with these bars. Rinse with a dessert spoon of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice, mixed in ½ litre of warm water. This gives your hair a lovely shine.
