Wayward Winds Handmade Soap


Wayward Winds Handmade Soap is truly handmade from the finest olive, palm and coconut oils. A high olive oil content assures a nice hard long lasting bar.
No artificial colors are used.

There are easier, cheaper and faster ways to make soap but we would have to compromise quality to do so. The traditional process we use is called cold process soap making. The oils are melted at low temperatures so that the beneficial ingredients are not altered by excessive heat. The oils are then saponified and hand stirred over low heat until thorough blending has taken place.

The blended liquid oils are poured into slab molds and wrapped in heating blankets for 2 days so that the soap will cool slowly and not separate. When the molds are removed from the heat wraps they are then allowed to sit undisturbed for several more days in order to harden a bit more. When the slabs are removed from the molds they are ready to cut.

Each of our bars are hand cut and average about 6 oz which is a nice big bar. The bars are then placed on a rack and left to cure for an additional 4-6 weeks before they can be hand wrapped and ready to sell. The result is a hand stirred, hand cut, hand wrapped, long lasting and attractively presented bar of high quality natural soap.

Wayward Winds Handmade Soaps are available in the same 8 essential oil fragrance combinations as our fantastic lotions.

Lavender (with lavender flower buds)
Lavender Lemongrass (with oatmeal for sensitive skin)
Lavender Rose
Lavender Ginger (with lavender flower petals)
Lavender Peppermint
Lavender Mandarin (with calendula petals)
Lavender Patchouli (with paprika)
Lavender Vanilla
