Q: Lotion Bars
Why don't you carry lotion bars?
A:
Lotion bars, generally, contain wax as an ingredient. Wax is not water soluble. Therefore, if you use any bar with wax it will not allow your pores to breathe which will clog them.
A good soap bar such as ours will rinse well, leaving your skin smooth and moisturized, without a waxy film. Our philosophy is that we only make products that are great for your skin!
Q: Uses
What exactly is Shea Butter used for?
A:
It has been known to help with many skin issues. Testimonials from our customers include:
Helping with itching eczema, psoriasis
Dry, irritating skin patches
Cracked fingers and cuticles
Acne
"Sandal foot" ie: Dry, hardened heels from wearing open shoes during summertime.
Itchy scalp
Dry skin resulting from any kind of cancer treatments
Pet's dry, itchy skin
Can be used in the bath water to help moisturize your entire body. (melts easily in hot water!)
Q: Liquid Soap
Will you carry liquid soap?
A:
Most likely not.
Liquid soap has more water/alcohol than anything! Our goal as a skin-care business is to provide what is GOOD and REAL for the skin ie: moisturizing etc. And when you purchase liquid soap, you are buying more water and alcohol than anything. Both of these ingredients are extremely drying for the skin.
Q: Moisturizing soap
What is your most moisturizing soap?
A:
All of them!
Facts: Soap is made from saponified fats and oils. All of our soaps are great cleansers and moisturizers. Then they rinse off. You should never feel a film after rinsing. Soap is meant to be a cleanser.
Then, we always recommend a "topical" application of our Unrefined Shea Butter that stays ON your skin to help renew, protect and heal your skin. This is a MUST, in our opinion, for proper and healthy skin care.
Q: Softening shea butter
How can I soften the shea butter?
A:
With the cooler weather upon us, the shea butter, being in the purely natural state that it is, tends to harden.
Recently released is our NEW Shea Butter Station. Click on the Shea Butter tab and learn all about it!
Q: Shea Butter color
Why does the color of the Shea Butter vary?
A:
Since Shea Butter is considered "food for the skin", an all natural product, not a cosmetic, and is extracted from the Shea Nut/Karite Tree (aka Tree of Life). The original colour is white, then they add a plant root (name kept secret by the locals) to turn it yellow. The tree root is known to have more healing properties. The shade of shea butter can vary from batch to batch.
Q: Shea Butter
Is the Shea Butter like lotion?
A:
No. Lotions "pour". Anything that pours has to have more water and/or alcohol (amongst others) in the ingredients than anything else. Since water and oils do not mix. the water has to go somewhere. It dries your skin which is the reason why one finds themselves reapplying lotion on a continual basis.
Shea Butter, however, is the extract from the Shea Nut Tree. (Karite Tree = Tree of Life) It is obtained by opening up the shea nut from the tree, and scraping out the protective "butter" around the nut. You apply it, sparingly. Your skin will feel so wonderfully smooth and totally moisturized!
It has been called "Food for the Skin". And, with our added Avocado Oil, it's even got MORE nutritional value.
Q: Nut meal
Why do you use pecan meal in your soap?
A:
We discovered that pecans have so many nutrients, that we couldn't NOT use them! Additionally, they are NM largest nut crop, and the largest in the USA.
Pecans contain 70% oil, Vitamins A, E, folic acid, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, several B vitamins, zinc and more.
With all this richness, and since our pores are "breathing", the nutrients become imbibed into your skin as you exfoliate. The natural oils help to control the dry skin many of us experience in the arid Southwest.
