FAQs
Q: What is lye?
A: Lye, also known as sodium hydroxide, is an essential ingredient in soap making due to its role in the saponification process. When mixed with water and combined with fats and oils, like coconut oil and shea butter, lye initiates a chemical reaction that transforms these ingredients into soap and glycerin. This process ensures that no lye remains in the final product. The lye is completely used up and neutralized, leaving the soap safe, non-toxic, and vegan-friendly. After a curing period, where the soap hardens, it becomes gentle and suitable for use, devoid of any residual lye.

Let customers speak for us
from 16 reviewsI have a 17 year old son with sensitive skin so i decided to try this vegan bar soaps. Let’s keep in mind he is very picky with scents as well. My son love them and so do I. My favorite is mystic jasmine. We will be buying more!!
We had a few of these just lying on the counter and they give off a beautiful jasmine scent making the whole area smell nice. I like having the mini bars at home cuz they’re easy to hold and use. Really cute labels too which make them great gifts for friends!!
It's been my go to soap for a few weeks now! Doesn't crumble, smells awesome, and doesn't leave my hands feeling dry.
Quite pleased with the soap. The soap’s surface is a bit bumpy at first, but otherwise great! It’s long lasting, smells good, and feels moisturizing without leaving that uncomfortable filmy residue. I’d recommend.
The aroma really comes out nicely and the soap lathers smoothly. It's really gentle on my skin too!
My wife and I love the hint of blueberry smell! There was also a cute cat design on the soap!
Smells nice and fresh! Last for a while!
I love this soap. I don’t normally enjoy bar soap because they always make my skin dry and they usually leave a residue. But I don’t feel any residue with this soap and it feels so good on my skin and keeps it nice and moisturized. It smells incredible and looks so pretty and I get excited every time I use it! I love this product, highly recommend! :)
We handed out four different soaps as a party we threw and they were a hit. Not only do they smell amazing but they look beautiful. Will definitely be back for more.
This soap is absolutely divine. The smell will I take you to another level and my skin feels soft and glowing.
We had custom soaps for the party favors for our engagement party. Crystal helped us create a wonderful theme that really reflected our relationship. We love visiting National Parks and she came up with the idea to pick 4 parks that were important to use and she curated the scent and appearance to reflect each park. We had enough favors for 60 people and by the end of the night they were all snatched up! It was also a big talking point during the party by all our guests. It was an excellent experience. I would highly recommend it for a unique and memorable gift favor or even a gift in general
I love this soap! First time trying it it left my hands silky smooth. Will be purchasing more..
I just bought one of the soaps for a really good price and I am so happy! I feel fresh and clean every day and my skin glows! The people selling it are very friendly too- definitely worth it!
These soaps are the best- hydrating with delicious smells. Even when I don't have to wash my hands I just end up picking them up to take a sniff! Mystic Jasmine is by far my favorite scent, but all of them are great. Makes me happy to know my money is supporting a passionate and intentional business that puts emphasis on sustainable packaging and making cruelty free products.
I used the olive oil soaps and found them to be highly moisturizing. Phantosmias soaps 🧼 are made and infused with pure natural ingredients making them suitable for dry / mature or sensitive skin. The scents are refreshing and not overpowering as many commercially made soaps are. I highly recommend these soaps for anyone looking to soothe and moisturize skin.
