How We Got Here
My name is Louise. What started out as a healing distraction during a difficult time has turned into a wonderful hobby and passion.

A small local Orleans business.
SOAPS
These small batch, individually handcrafted high quality soap bars are created with soap bases such as glycerin, goat milk, shea butter, cocoa butter and mango butter.
ALL OUR SOAPS CONTAIN VEGETABLE GLYCERIN. Vegetable based glycerin, a natural emollient, draws moisture from the air to benefit skin. It cleanses without stripping or upsetting the delicate natural pH balance necessary for soft, healthy looking skin.
Goats milk is naturally high in vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in butterfat, which makes it the perfect moisturizer. Vitamin E, which is beneficial to the skin, is found in abundance in this soap. It has a creamy smooth texture that is nourishing for the skin.
Shea Butter nourishes your skin and helps make it soft and supple.
Mango butter cleanses the skin's surface of impurities and unblocks pores. The anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging properties of Mango Butter make it an effective soothing agent for skin afflicted by dryness.
Cocoa butter is high in fatty acids and hydrates the skin deeply, making it a wonderful addition to soap. It contains oliec, stearic and palmitic acids all of which are beneficial for nourishing the skin.
These soaps will, for the most part, not produce as much often skin drying suds as commercial bars. They will generate a silky, creamy lather. For increased lather, use with a sponge or loofah.
Trade your commercial soap bars and plastic soap and body wash bottles for these beauties!
Due to the nature of glycerin, each bar comes individually wrapped in cling wrap or shrink wrap. Please note that these are handcrafted and may therefore vary in appearance, size and weight.

Testimonials
I'm Louise's daughter and I have seen the work, time and commitment that went into this venture which, having a full time job, she does in her spare time. I have always known that my Mom is very detail oriented and has a very high work ethic but to see how hard she has worked and the resources and time she has dedicated to this these last several months is simply amazing and I'm proud of her.
She has learned how to safely incorporate skin loving ingredients such as kaolin clay, sweet almond oil, jojoba oil, honey, Vitamin E, hyaluronic acid, etc,. in her products.
She has studied, read and educated herself on this craft and perfected it. Out of the hundreds of soap bars, batches of foaming bath dust and lip balms she has produced, tested, retested and perfected, only the best products have made it to her inventory.
Her soaps are silky, moisturizing and they smell wonderful. Same with her Foaming Bath Dust which I sincerely love. Her lip balms with shea butter, Vitamin E and hyaluronic acid will leave your lips soft, silky and super moisturized.
Give her products a try, you won't be disappointed.
