Is your soap natural?
Yes! Our soaps are handcrafted using natural oils, butters, clays, colorants, and essential oils. No synthetic detergents and harsh chemicals.
Do you use lye in your soap?
Our soap is made the old-fashioned way so it is made with lye (sodium hydroxide), but don’t worry—it’s completely transformed during the soapmaking process and none remains in the finished bar! Only pure soap is made with lye, without the soap making process, the natural oils and butters would retain their origional composition.
Is your soap vegan?
All of our soaps are vegan, not a drop of tallow/animal fat. We do have beeswax in our lotions. If you prefer candillia wax instead, just ask.
Are your soaps and lotions safe for sensitive skin?
Absolutely. We started Soapie Squad because one member has extremely senstiive skin and we were struggling to find a bar that woudl work for her. We formulate our soaps and lotions to be gentle and nourishing. If you have very sensitive skin, we recommend trying our unscented bars – Ais Purity Bar and Newborn Soap. Our Noncompete Lotion is unscented also. Just because these items are unscented does not mean they are boring!
How long does a bar of soap last?
It depends on usage, but typically a month with daily use. To make it last longer, keep your soap in the provided soap dish. Elevating the soap dries between uese which prolongs the life of the bar.

We also partner with several local business for their private labels items that we manufacture.
Do your soaps have fragrance oils or essential oils?

What’s the difference between whipped lotion, body butter and solid lotion?
- Whipped Lotion (Magnesium Lotion and Sleepy Time Lotion) is a blend of magnesium oil with water, which makes it lighter and fast-absorbing.
- Body butter is typically water-free, richer, and deeply moisturizing. Ours follows the traditonal African method of no water, only oils.
- Solid lotion bars are concentrated moisturizers in bar form—perfect for on-the-go hydration
