Glycerin: The Unsung Hero in Every Bar of Our Soap

There’s a lot to love about natural soap—gentle ingredients, lush lather, and scents that soothe your soul. But if we had to pick a single powerhouse ingredient that makes our cold process bars truly special, it’s glycerin.

You won’t see it splashed across our labels in big, bold letters, but glycerin is quietly doing the heavy lifting when it comes to moisturizing and protecting your skin.

What Is Glycerin?

Glycerin (also known as glycerol) is a clear, natural humectant. That means it draws moisture from the air into your skin, helping it stay hydrated, soft, and balanced. It’s created naturally during the cold process soapmaking method—right in the middle of that magical moment called saponification.

While commercial soaps often remove glycerin to use it in lotions and other products, we leave it right where it belongs—in your bar.

Why Glycerin Matters for Your Skin

1. Hydration Without the Heaviness: Glycerin works with your skin’s natural moisture barrier. It hydrates from the outside in without clogging pores or feeling greasy.

2. Soothes and Softens: Dry, sensitive, or flaky skin? Glycerin is your best friend. It helps calm irritation, reduce roughness, and leave skin silky-smooth.

3. All-Season Support: In winter, it locks in moisture. In summer, it keeps your skin from feeling stripped. It’s like a built-in skincare routine in every bar.

4. Gentle Enough for Everyone: Because glycerin is non-irritating and non-comedogenic, it’s suitable for all skin types—including sensitive or acne-prone skin.

Why You’ll Only Find It in Real Soap

Here’s the catch: not all soap has glycerin. In fact, most mass-produced soap-like products are actually synthetic detergents—meaning no glycerin, no skin benefits, and often, extra drying agents.

That’s why cold process soap is different. It’s the real deal. No shortcuts. No glycerin stripped out. Just a rich, skin-loving lather created the traditional way.

Our bars aren’t just soap—they’re skincare. Handcrafted, naturally rich in glycerin, and made to leave your skin clean and comforted.
