Description
Natural Ingredients: Olive Oil, Coconut Oil, Palm Oil, and Sodium Hydroxide (all sodium hydroxide is used up in the cold process of making soap). We never use preservatives, colorants, synthetic dyes, or fragrances in our soap. It’s best to store soap in a cool, dry place.
Ever wonder why soap is so cheap in the store? Besides having several cheap, toxic ingredients, most of the glycerin (a natural skin softener) has been removed. The glycerin can be used to make lotions or other products which one will need to purchase after using this cheap soap. Here at Mentink Family Farms we wouldn’t even know how to remove the glycerin (nor would we want to!). Our ingredients are simple, natural oils like olive oil, palm oil, and coconut oil. These are saponified with lye (which all soap contains). If anyone says different they are lying. In the past women would soak their wood ashes in rain water to make their own lye, and then add this to whatever fat they were producing on their farm to make soap. Maybe some day I will give homemade lye a try, but for now we buy it.

I love these soaps! Great quality and a variety of options. I’ve been hoarding them in my bathroom and haven’t even let the kids try them. The thing I love the most about them is how moisturizing they are. I have issues with dry skin this time of year. I keep lotion by the sink in my bathroom but just am not good about putting it on throughout the busy day. With this soap, I don’t even have the need to put any lotion on, and I can tell that my hands are not nearly as dry as they usually are this time of year. As for the options, I personally love the oatmeal and the lavender. The oatmeal gives the bar a bit rougher texture and exfoliates as it washes. The lavender smells so soothing!

I have been using this soap for almost 6 years and I won’t use anything else. I use it in the bathtub and have a bar at every sink for hand-washing. I love how moisturizing and natural it is. I also enjoy the cleansing suds.

I’m addicted! I only use this soap and frequently give this soap as gifts. It lathers beautifully and is moisturizing. I find it works for sensitive skin too! I love the natural products in the soap and I know this is important to the Mentinks too. This is the only soap my family uses! I highly recommend this product!

I am so thankful you make this soap…I use it in the shower and at the kitchen sink and I want a bar to take to school because the soap there is so drying! I love giving it as gifts.
