FAQs
WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY “ALL NATURAL”?
At Sudsy & Co, all of our soaps are made with plant-based ingredients like fruits, vegetables, nuts, herbs, and natural oils. You’ll never find artificial dyes, synthetic fragrances, preservatives, or harsh detergents in our products.
While many handmade soap companies add brightly colored dyes and synthetic scents, we let nature do the talking. Our soaps are naturally scented with essential oils and enriched with herbs and clays—giving you a clean, fresh product that’s just as good for your skin as it is for your senses.
Why go all natural? Because your skin is your body’s largest organ—it absorbs whatever you put on it. As we always say, "What goes on your body, goes in your body."
WHY ESSENTIAL OILS AND NOT FRAGRANCE OILS?
Essential oils are pure, aromatic extracts from plants, flowers, fruits, herbs, and spices. They’re steam distilled or cold pressed to retain their therapeutic properties. Not only do they smell amazing, but they also offer skin-loving benefits directly from nature.
Fragrance oils, on the other hand, are man-made and often contain chemical stabilizers like phthalates—which are known to be harmful, even in small amounts. Have you ever seen a Key Lime Pie tree? Neither have we.
We choose essential oils because they’re natural, effective, and gentle—especially for sensitive skin.
HOW IS YOUR SOAP DIFFERENT FROM STORE-BOUGHT SOAP?
It comes down to ingredients and process.
Most commercial soaps are made with tallow (animal fat) and low-cost oils that offer little benefit to your skin. Even worse, they remove the naturally occurring glycerin—a moisturizing byproduct of the soap making process—to sell separately.
Instead, they add synthetic detergents, preservatives, and hardeners, like SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate), which can leave your skin dry, tight, and irritated. At that point, it’s not even real soap—it's a detergent bar.
Sudsy & Co soaps retain all their natural glycerin and are made with nourishing oils and butters that gently cleanse without stripping your skin. You’ll notice the difference from the very first use.
IS YOUR SOAP GOOD FOR SENSITIVE SKIN?
Absolutely! Sudsy & Co soaps are an excellent choice for anyone with sensitive or easily irritated skin. Because we use only natural ingredients—without harsh chemicals or additives—our bars are gentle, soothing, and deeply moisturizing.
While everyone’s skin is unique, we’re confident that the high-quality butters and oils in our soap will leave your skin feeling soft, calm, and refreshed.
