Handcrafted Artisan Natural Soaps
| At SunFortune Soapworks, we make our soaps from scratch, using only the finest ingredients. We make them in small batches by hand using a time-honored method. Love your skin with the nourishing lather and intoxicating unique scents our products have to offer.
What makes Natural Soap special?
Natural soaps are made in a simple chemical reaction between oils/fats and lye (either sodium hydroxide for bars or potassium hydroxide for liquid soaps). All soap is made with lye, but there is no lye in the finished product. Glycerin is a natural by-product of this reaction and the synergistic relationship between the soap molecule and the glycerin means you have a cleanser with abundant, luxurious lather that cleans like nothing else, but doesn’t strip your skin of its natural, protective oils.

What is Natural Soap made of?
At SunFortune Soapworks, we use all vegetable oils in our soaps. Olive, Rice Bran, Coconut, Cocoa Butter, Shea Butter, Castor, Soybean and Sunflower oils are just a few of oils we use. Each oil is carefully chosen for its cleansing properties in soap. Essential and fragrance oils contribute scent; natural spices/herbs and cosmetic-grade pigments are used for color; and botanicals, spices and other natural ingredients add texture.
Why is Glycerin Important?
Glycerin is a humectant. One molecule of glycerin is created for every three molecules of soap. Commercial soap makers often remove the glycerin from their soap and then sell it to the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. With our natural soaps, however, all of the naturally occurring glycerin remains intact along with all its skin-nourishing benefits. |
