Ida's Soap Box

One of my biggest challenges as a formulator of natural skin care products is controlling the effect of outside temperature. Our goal is to create the best natural, wholesome, nourishing skincare possible, so we formulate our products without synthetic stabilizers or waxes. We have the same problem as companies who make and ship fine chocolates during summer months!

I was a soapmaker for over 30 years. While my children were growing up I used to make natural soap and sell at local craft shows, festivals and farmers markets. The ingredients you use are INCREDIBLE. There is nothing out there that compares. The base oils you use and all of the extras you add are expensive and I also know how much time it takes to make specialty soaps with vegetables, yogurt, infused oils and much more.

An Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) rinse is a great addition to any hair care regimen. Raw apple cider vinegar (ACV), packed with nutrients, can help with tangles and frizzy hair, bring back body and shine, decrease residue and clarify, stimulate the scalp, decrease dandruff, and unclog hair follicles which may help with excess shedding or hair loss. These rinses are especially helpful for those new to shampoo bars.

Pollinators, like Bees and Butterflies, are crucial to the growth of 80 percent of our vegetable and fruit crops. Without pollinators, the human race and all of our land ecosystems would not survive. Bees and Butterflies have been dying at alarming rates due to changing weather patterns, increased use of pesticides and the destruction of their natural habitats.
