FAQs

What is the difference between Tenny Lady Natural Handmade Soap and the regular commercial soap I buy at my local supermarket?

"Soap is made commercially in huge vats by a process called "continuous method", in which ingredients are continuously added to one end and removed from the other. During this process, the emollient glycerin that naturally exists in soap is removed and sold separately for its moisturizing qualities. Commercial soap is nearly always made from tallow (animal fat) and usually contains a variety of synthetic chemicals. Because of the lack of glycerin as well as the inclusion of poor-quality ingredients and additives, commercial soap can often irritate and dry the skin, or can cause an allergic reaction. Sadly, even many hand-made soap companies use synthetic fragrances, preservatives and colors in their products." (Handmade Soap by Tatyana Hill)

Tenny Lady Natural Handmade Soap is carefully hand-crafted in small batches using the cold process method of soap making. We use only high quality botanical oils and butters as well as all natural herbs, milks, juices, essential oils and spices to scent and color our soaps. These ingredients not only impart sensational fragrances and beautiful, rustic colors, but also add their own exceptional nourishing qualities. Once you try an all natural soap, you will wonder why you ever used anything else on your skin!

How long do your soaps last?

For storing ..
Soap is one of those things that actually gets better with time. This is why we cure our soaps for a full 2 months. We want our soap to go out to the customer as a hard, long lasting and mild bar. Your natural soap needs to breathe in order to prolong its life and maintain its hardness. If you plan to store your bar for a while, leave it exposed to air rather than in a tight wrapper which will prevent moisture from evaporating. You can leave your bars in their wrappers as they have both ends open to the air.

For usage ..
Please keep the bar in a soap dish away from water between uses for longer soap life.

How big are your soaps?

Our bars are hand cut and will naturally have a bit of variation in the weight. Our soap bars weigh approximately 80 grams or more.
