Ida's Soap Box

Natural face oils are an easy way to feed your skin. Our organic face oils contain natural plant oils that penetrate deeply bringing essential fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to your skin.

Commercial dry shampoos come in either powder or aerosol form. The aerosols are made with propellants which can cause problems for those with sensitive noses and for the environment. Other dry shampoos contain alcohols, talc, artificial fragrances and other synthetic ingredients. While the ingredients in a regular shampoo are rinsed away, dry shampoo ingredients may remain on your scalp for days.

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.
