Our Soap is more than your everyday bar of soap...
Every creamy bubble will make you fall in love with Forte Soaps beautiful bars! Full of lots of lather and wonderful scent, whether you favor essential oils or fragrances, you may choose whatever you fancy!
What are those??
Spots. I know, I know, you may wonder what those are. Steric acid spots are not harmful in ANY way to your skin nor do they make our soap less affective. Just something that handmade soap does when temperatures differ between loaves. But trust us, there's nothing to fear!
What's with the lines?
Well, handmade soap is just that....hand made. That means it's also cut BY HAND. We do have a wire cutter, but sometimes things don't go perfectly, and soap that may harden quickly gets a little too hard to cut perfectly. Thus, the lines.
...And those other spots?
That's the GOOD STUFF! We add oatmeal, salt, sugar, and clay to our bars to give you an amazing skin-pampering bar of soap. So, yeah, it's good for you. They all help to rub off the bad skin stuff to leave behind the good smooth stuff! Another thing to love!
