Why Handmade?
Very often people ask me, "Why on earth do you make soap? You
can buy it at the grocery store for real cheap!" That's a good
question - and there's a reason that stuff is so inexpensive.
Years ago, after becoming curious about the ingredients that the
huge soap companies put in mass-manufactured soap, I became
concerned. (After all, I've worked with more than my share of greedy
corporate executives in my time, and I trust 'em about as far as I can
throw 'em.) And I was putting the stuff all over my skin!
Consequently, I was compelled to do some research to find out
what those chemicals really were. Quite frankly, I didn't like what I
discovered.
I don't claim to be a chemist, but it wasn't hard to figure out that there
are cheap oils, detergents, waxes, and preservatives in those bars.
(Take a look at the label on a bar of soap you have in your cabinet,
Google those chemically-sounding ingredients, and see for
yourself. Ew! You're putting that on your skin!)
I then wondered how soap was actually made, and whether I could
do a better job, myself. Little did I know then how that seemingly
simple question would impact my life! After many hours of
researching, experimenting, and refining my skills, I developed a
superior product by using quality ingredients -- ingredients that you
can understand, and feel confident using on your skin.

How is the Soap Made?
Nice Touch soap is made in the tradition of fine soap-making, using
the "cold process." It is not cooked, so its nutrients are retained.
Other soap makers have many different fragrances, but that doesn't
necessarily make it good soap. The quality reality depends on the
base. I select and blend only the highest grade oils, including Olive,
Coconut, Palm, Sweet Almond, Soybean, Jojoba, and Shea (also
known as "African Karite") Butter. Absolutely no animal fats are
used. My soaps are scented with superior essential and fragrance
oils, and are colored artistically with mineral pigments.
The smooth, penetrating lather and skin-loving goat milk leaves
your skin feeling soft, silky, and pampered. You'll notice that "tight
skin syndrome" we've all experienced with commercial-grade soap
will disappear. Because of the naturally-occurring glycerin that is
found in our hand-made soap, my customers have marveled that
after regular use, they no longer need to use lotions to moisturize
their skin. Don't you and your family deserve that?

Why Goat Milk?
Milk has been valued throughout the ages as a skin softener,
even for the most sensitive and tender skin. Goat milk is
particularly rich in proteins, vitamins and minerals, and has a
natural ability to moisturize, nourish, and retain its goodness
on your skin. Goat milk is such a pure, natural, and wonderful
beauty aid that doctors often prescribe goat milk soap for
people who suffer from eczema.
So what does this mean to you? I think you'll discover Nice
Touch Goat Milk soap to be the most soothing, luxurious and
creamy soap you'll ever use!

What Does "Cold Process" Mean?
I'm often asked, "Is this lye soap?" Actually, that's kind of like
asking, "Is this H20 water?"
Stay with me here.
High school chemistry taught us that water, itself, is two parts
hydrogen, and one part oxygen. Alone, they're quite different
substances. (In fact, they use hydrogen to make bombs!)
Together, however, they become our life force.
Frankly, ALL soap is made with lye (Sodium Hydroxide) - even
the most so-called "gentle" soaps, whether from your grocery
store or fine cosmetics counter. If they try to tell you otherwise,
turn around and walk away, because they don't know what
they're talking about.
Simply, during the "cold process," Sodium Hydroxide is
combined with the exact amount of distilled water and base oils
(fats) required to create soap. The thing is, once soap has
"saponified," (which is just a fancy word for cured), the lye is
neutralized, and no longer exists in its original state.
Think of it this way: Is a butterfly still a caterpillar?

What's the Best Way to Care for Soap?
A dry bar of soap is a long-lasting bar! Of course you'll need
to get it wet, but try to keep the bar away from the shower
stream as much as possible. You may also wish to use a
soap dish that allows soap to drain, so that the soap does not
sit in a pool of water.
