Chester County Soaps are handcrafted in micro-batches using
olive oil, sunflower oils and other vegetable oils. There
are no chemical preservatives or harsh additives. In our search
for the most mild and moisturizing soap ingredients, we have
found olive oil and sunflower oils to produce a soap which is
both long-lasting and especially soothing to all skin types. Just as
studies show olive oil to be the most healthy oil to ingest, olive oil has
also been
extolled through the centuries for its moisturizing properties
as it is a natural humectant, attracting moisture to the skin.
Soaps made of olive oil, once known as castile soaps are
prolific throughout the Mediterranean, but many soaps labeled
"castile" in this country often contain no olive oil whatsoever.
We offer a variety of soaps: unscented; soaps
scented with essential oils; and soaps scented with
fragrance oils. We also offer a few which contain goat's
milk. We frequently offer soaps
made solely of 100% saponified olive oil, which is known as the
"classic
castile" soap. Please read the ingredient list carefully
as you make your selections. |
