Because the bars are handmade, you can expect to see slight differences in the size and weight. After the soap is made, it needs to cure for at least one month. However, after it's cured, some of the moisture in the bar continues to evaporate out. The bar shrinks a little; enough that the label we've wrapped around the bar becomes a bit loose and the weight decreases a little. The bar gets harder, and this is actually better. There is nothing lost from the soap, and it will not dissolve as quickly when it does get wet in a shower or bath.
Each bar is approximately 2 1/2 in. x 2 1/2 in. x 1 in. - or 6 cm. x 6 cm. x 2 cm. Weight is between 3.5 and 4 oz., or between 99 and 113 grams.
Please note that because the soap is handmade, the appearance of soap may not be exactly as shown.
Some of you might be wondering, "Lye? Isn’t lye dangerous? Won’t it harm my skin?”
First - all actual soap is made with lye. No lye, no soap. (A lot of "soap products" in the stores are actually detergent. If you look at the labels, they are not called "soap". They are called "hand wash" or "body cleanser" or some such thing.)
This could become a chemistry lesson, but to make it short - soap is made from lye, fats and liquid. When the lye mixes with the fats and liquid, some kind of chemical reaction goes on, and the lye and fats change into soap and glycerin. In the process, the lye is all used up. Even though lye is used to make the soap, there is no lye left in the soap at all.
This is why soap made with lye is not dangerous, and it definitely won’t hurt your skin.
Hello Everyone!
It's almost the end of summer. Has it gone as quickly for you as it has for us?
We've been blessed that a number of stores across the island have chosen to sell our soap. We've had to keep resupplying them, so that means people like you are enjoying our soap, and we appreciate that. Thanks to you all.
It's been busy. Dennis had made enough soap - he thought - by the end of April so that he'd have enough up until Christmas. But that's not the way it turned out.
By June, he was needing to make more. Thankfully, our son Andy had some time to spare and he's been helping out. Then school got out, and the two oldest girls have been helping. And they've been a real help. Then we've been having family lunch together - ok, that's Ontario speak lol. Dinner in PEI speak. Noon time. It's been a great family time.
Soon the kids will be back to school and we'll all have to develop a new routine for the fall. Thank-you for all your support this summer.
Talk to you soon,
Teresa and Dennis - and Andy and the kids :)
