About Jana’s Homemade Soap

Jana’s Soap Box soap is handcrafted in small batches using the finest olive oil, coconut oil, palm oil, soy oil and shea butter. Essential oils, skin safe fragrance oils, herbs and/or botanicals are added to impart skin nourishing and aromatic qualities. Sodium hydroxide (lye) is added to the oils to cause the chemical reaction that turns the oils into soap. This reaction is called saponification. During the saponification process, the lye is absorbed and natural glycerin is formed. Glycerin helps to soften and moisturize your skin. The soap is then cut by hand and cured for one month creating a very mild, skin nourishing and luxurious bar.
