Ida's Soap Box

I love your products. I first discovered them a few years ago when I discovered solid shampoo bars, and was looking for ones without sodium lauryl sulfate and added chemicals (and ones that weren't as expensive).

The versatility of vinegar has been known for thousands of years. The Babylonians were the first to flavor vinegar with herbs and spices and in 400 B.C. Hippocrates described its medicinal properties. From skin and hair care, to the kitchen and cleaning cupboard, vinegar is one of the most useful products to have in your home, especially with the addition of therapeutic and/or flavorful herbs.

Herbs are plants that contain a life force of their own. Slowly infusing herbs into oil transfers the healing properties, flavors and colors to the oil, and is one of the oldest forms of medicine-making. A simple infusion can transform an oil into a versatile ingredient to jazz up your cooking or create your own skin care products.

Many folks complain that herbal remedies do not work. Sadly, this is often due to poor quality herbs. Herbs lose their potency over time. Improper growing, handling or storage will result in poor quality herbs with little flavor and few beneficial properties. To make good quality herbal products you must start with the best quality herbs!
