Collection: Handmade Soap

Orchid Island Soaps are handmade in small batches, resulting in soaps that are different and unique.

The very best reason to use our handmade soap is the ingredients.  Unless the soap band reads goat milk soap, all of our soaps are made with coconut milk.  Our preference is coconut milk since it has a higher fat content than goat milk.  The higher fat content leads to a very silky feeling, white producing abundant lather as well.  Handmade soap is made of oils and butters that are rich in antioxidants, vitamins and nutrients that are essential to healthy skin.  Everyone wants healthy skin and switching to daily use of handmade soap is the best place to start.

It is commonly called soap, but that mass-produced commercial stuff that you get at the grocery store is anything but. You have an array of personal cleansers to choose from that are labeled as deodorant soap, body bars, body washes and my personal favorite (eyes roll) the beauty bar. These are just chemical cocktails made of detergents and downright disturbing synthetic ingredients that dehydrate and age skin, cause allergic reactions and have been linked to various forms of cancer. Orchid Island Soap is the real deal, and harmful and unnecessary ingredients are NOT added to make our soaps.
