Discover the Joy of Handmade Soap
I know, you're thinking, "How can soap be 'joyful?' - It's soap, it gets you clean, right?"
The short answer is, "Yes."
But most soaps at the store aren't soap at all. They're "beauty bars." Basically, they're a bar of synthetic detergents and additives that are cheap and easy to manufacture in bulk. There isn't anything wrong with them. Beauty bars are fine, but many people find them overly harsh, drying, or believe they have a less pleasant feel than real natural soap bars.
Handmade soap is crafted with natural oils that are beneficial to your skin and have antioxidants, vitamins, and moisturizing properties. When made correctly (and anyone who is selling soap should absolutely know how to make it correctly!), soap won't strip your skin of its natural oils even while getting you perfectly clean.
Glycerin in Natural Soap Bars
And if you're looking for glycerin soap - you're in luck. Glycerin is a byproduct of the soap making process, so all natural soap bars contain this highly moisturizing humectant. Manufacturers that do make soap (rather than beauty bars) will often extract glycerin from the bars and use it for lotions and creams.
Why Choose Natural Soap Bars from Tulip Tree Soap Company?
Now, out of all the soap out there, why choose us?
Quality
We carefully formulated our recipe based on the unique ingredients of each oil (coconut for cleansing, castor for lather, etc). Then we tested, tested, and tested some more to ensure all our soaps met the following qualities:
- Gentle for all skin types
- Great lather
- Gets you clean
- Leaves skin feeling soft instead of tight and dry
We make our natural soap bars with Olive, Palm, Coconut, Shea Butter, Castor, and Sunflower oils as well as a bit of ethically sourced mica for color, skin-safe, phthalate-free fragrance, salt (to make the bar harder), and sugar (to boost lather). That's it. Our soaps and other products are always paraben-free, phthalate-free, cruelty-free, sulfate-free, and silicone-free so you can feel good about using them.
Variety
While my recipe doesn't change, and I do keep around 10 best-selling scents at all times, I also like to get creative. I do like to get creative with colorants and try different scents. Sometimes, I'll release a theme or other times, I'll share a collection that has seasonal vibes, such as tropical and floral scents in spring and summer and more spice, warm, and woodsy fragrances in the fall and winter.
Purpose-Driven
At Tulip Tree, we have a pretty simple mission - Every Body | Every Day. This means our products should be:- Gentle - no harsh or questionable ingredients and it's designed to be mild enough for all skin types.
- Accessible - our natural soap bars are reasonably priced, especially the basics. Everyone should have access to great quality soap and other necessities, and your favorite scents shouldn't just be for special occasions.
- Earth-friendlier - minimal waste, compostable packaging, sustainable ingredients (all our palm oil is sustainable and certified from the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil), and we make sure to get our ingredients from cruelty-free suppliers. Just because we're a small handmade soap company doesn't mean we can't do our part to make things a little better for our customers and for our planet.
A Little Bit Quirky
Making soap is a creative outlet for me, and sometimes I am inspired to make things like "Dumpster Fire" soap or "Billionaire Tears."I like to see what I can come up with, I love trying new colors, fragrances, and pushing new ideas. There's always something new going on!
