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.
