Our natural soaps are cold process soaps which are made from scratch.  After the soap is made and cut into bars the soap bars dry on a curing rack for 6 weeks before sold. 

The cold-process soap making method, is an old craft using oils or fats combined with alkaline to create a new chemical called "soap".  This type of method is what creates true soap.  Both bar soap and liquid soap can be made using this natural process but most liquid soaps and many bar soaps are made using detergents and harsh chemicals. Essential Addictions' bar soaps are made with vegetable oils and natural botanicals and ingredients to create a natural bar soap that is biodegradable and healthy for the skin.

The detergents, preservatives and harsh chemicals found in many liquid shower gels, liquid body wash and cleansers are drying to the skin and bad for the environment.  A natural bar soap has no synthetic detergents to create the lather and cleaning properties.  "Soap" is a natural chemical created from the saponification of the Cold process soap making method.  True soap lathers and removes dirt from the skin naturally without the use of detergents.  It doesn't need added preservatives as soap is a natural preservative itself.  Using a natural bar soap is not only a better option for the health of your skin but also the health of our planet.  Every shower or bath washes all the soap, shampoo, body wash, scrubs and moisturizers down the drain and into the earth.  The less chemicals we use on our skin in the shower, the better for everyone!

Our bath bombs are press by hand.  Each bath bomb is made with salts, oils and herbs.  After the bath bombs are pressed, they dry on curing racks for 24 hours. 

Bath bombs are made with salts and oils.  The benefits of bath bombs vs bubble bath are the lack of detergents in bath bombs.  Not all bath bombs lack detergents, but Essential Addictions bath bombs contain no detergents or preservatives.  The detergents in bubble baths which create those frothy bubble are also pretty harsh on the skin.  Those harsh chemicals dry the skin and pollute the earth.  Make the switch to a more natural bath product.  Bath bombs are salts and oils which are softening, muscle soothing and moisturizing.
