Hand-crafted artisan shea butter soaps and bath products. Made with only the finest ethically sourced ingredients! Phthalate-Free & Vegan! Commercial stuff?
**NOTE** There will be variation in the designs of each batch. What remains the same is the scent. We do try to duplicate each batch, but variations happen!! I am a soap maker with over 30 years experience. I was allergic to almost every store-bought soap out there! I began making soap because the more I learned about the body, the more aware I became of what is actually in the products I was usi
ng. Just like I do with my food, if I couldn’t pronounce it easily, I look it up. AND probably not eat it! The more I researched the more I was shocked at how naive I’ve been by buying what I “thought” was safe chemicals to put on my body and face! What I can do for you, is offer you a line of soaps and bath products, that are good for your skin, smells great and are exciting to use. This soap journey has educated me and given a more comprehensive understanding of how soap actually works. My promise to you is, all soaps made by Divine Goddess Soaps are all natural and Phthalate-Free . Making soap brings me joy, and I hope it brings you and your family happiness and joy~
Thanks for stopping by! Andrea
An Artisan Soap Maker
Artisan Soap is real soap
In the simplest of terms, artisan soap is real soap. Not so much. They don’t even label it as soap. Because it’s not soap. It’s a detergent! Akin to the stuff you put in your dishwasher or washing machine. Who wants that on their skin, every day, multiple times a day? Commercial soaps are filled with synthetic lathering chemicals and detergents and pressed into bars after being pumped full of preservatives to ensure they have a shelf life that will survive nuclear fallout. They’re drying, irritate the skin, and leave behind a film that continues to wreak havoc on your skin’s natural ph level. Artisan soap doesn’t contain fillers, preservatives, or synthetic lathering agents. All of the bubbly goodness in handcrafted soap comes directly from the responsible soapmaker’s recipe of carefully balanced oils and fats and how they interact with the liquid and lye necessary for all soapmaking. Artisan soaps naturally moisturize, cleanse, and lather; no synthetics needed! Glycerin
Commercial bars are missing the absolute best ingredient found in real soaps: the glycerin. Manufacturers actually remove this natural moisturizer from their bars and use it in high-end skin care product lines. So you’re left with nothing but a watered down, chemical laden block of synthetics. A proper artisan soaper does not use synthetic bubblers or preservatives; the former isn’t needed as handcrafted soaps are full of natural lathering agents and the latter is usually omitted to keep the soaps chemical and irritant free. Further, artisan soaps are absolutely loaded with glycerin as it is a naturally occurring byproduct of the saponification process. This yields a super cleansing, gentle, moisturizing , irritant free soap. Now, doesn’t that sound better than washing your face with laundry detergent? High Quality ingredients
Artisan soapmakers tend to take their ingredients very seriously. At Divine Goddess Soaps, we splurge on ingredients, ensuring that each and every bar we create is made from high quality, stable, uncontaminated oils and fats. We also put extra (natural!) goodies into our soaps to up the skin loving, super cleansing properties of our products. We care about your skin, and work hard to deliver a quality bar of soap that promotes your skin’s health. Low Impact/No Harm
Unlike large commercial facilities, artisan soap makers work in small batch form with little to no equipment. This means a minimal environmental impact and no overseas sweat shops. And you have the added benefit of buying from a peer and thus promoting small business.
