Our Soapy philosophy
All soaps are not created equal.
Howling Hog soaps are made without the fragrances, dyes and harmful chemicals found in commercial soaps and many homemade lye soaps. Research shows that chemicals are absorbed through topical application. Howling Hog soaps scents are achieved through organic essential oils and herbs. The colors are subtle--the result of the specialty oils and ingredients added to our basic lye, olive oil, goat milk soap recipe. We remain true to our original intent, to create a soap that is moisturizing and cleans well without harm. We use a cold press, lye process that is super-fatted to ensure that all lye is bonds with the oils. Although most ingredients come straight from our own garden and kitchen pantry, when we must purchase ingredients, we make the effort to purchase organic products or those created with sustainability in mind. |
