About our Soap

Your Skin

Did you know that your skin is your body's largest vital organ? It is your first defense against germs, bacteria, viruses, and disease! Protecting your body is difficult for your skin to do when it has been stripped of its natural barrier oils by mass produced "soaps" containing detergents and chemicals. Cheeky Maiden Soap is even safe to use on your face!

Glycerin

Glycerin is a humectant. One molecule of glycerin is created for every three molecules of soap. Commercial soap makers remove the glycerin from their soap and then sell it to the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries.

With Cheeky Maiden Soap, however, all of the naturally occurring glycerin remains intact. As a result, users of Cheeky Maiden Soap frequently comment on how the soap leaves their skin feeling soft, smooth, and itch-free. We do not add additional glycerin to our soap.

The Process

Cheeky Maiden Soap is made right in our own kitchen using the cold process soap making method. Our soaps are made in small batches to ensure quality. The oils and lye solution are heated separately and then mixed together. Fragrances and herbs are then added. The mixture is poured into wooden log molds and left to sit and saponify for about 24 hours. After it has cooled, Cheeky Maiden removes it from the mold and the curing process begins. The soap is technically safe to use after a few days, but we prefer to let it sit for no less than four weeks. The longer you let your soap dry, the longer it will last once you begin to use it. Each bar is measured, sliced, inspected, sometimes stamped and wrapped in our own designer label.
