Handmade Luxury Soap
A Division of The "Habie Rose" Collection
Welcome to Handmade Luxury Soap...a division of Habie Rose ~ Handmade Jewelry. Here, you will find upscale, handcrafted luxury soap. I have always been fascinated with how one can take something in raw form and turn it in to something so beautiful. I love working with my hands and creating things. My eyes "see" the potential in using many, many things to create beautiful handcrafted items. I have been an artisan for 37 years. In the early years, I loved painting whimsically on wood and creating floral arrangements. During that time, I always had an interest in creating jewelry, soap and candles. I began studying many years ago, and a number of years ago, I began to breathe life into The Habie Rose Collection, which just recently formed into two sub-divisions...Handmade Luxury Soap and The Painted Wood Cottage. Handcrafted jewelry is available at Habie Rose Artisan Jewelry. Luxury shaving Soaps will eventually be sold through this site and The shave Cellar. All invoices will state "The Habie Rose Collection".
My luxury soaps are made from scratch, from creating the formula, to design and production. The designs within the soaps are created by hand and appear all the way through the entire bar. The soaps are never created from a purchased commercial soap base or from commercial melt and pour bases. When I make glycerin soaps, they are handmade from scratch, from my own formulas, and not purchased as commercial bases. All products are made in small batches so that the attention to detail is never lost. Once soaps are removed from the mold, they are hand cut into individual bars and cured, to allow the bars to mellow and harden. The curing process for the soaps is ongoing and therefore different types and designs of soaps will be offered as they are cured. I love an eclectic look, so as not to become boring. My packaging may change, at any time. Check back often to see what products are available.
Being that the soaps are handcrafted, no design will ever be the same. My formulas are created solely by me and therefore the products you are purchasing from me are exclusive only to the The Habie Rose Collection and its divisions. I use an abundance of exotic oils and butters in my soaps. What I create for you is what I want and use for myself. I test each and every batch of all soap to make sure that what I am offering to you meets the high standards that I would have for myself, as a consumer. Nothing goes out of the door unless I have approved it for use on my own skin. Please make sure that you read the ingredients before purchasing. Some soaps may contain egg, nut oils and may contain bee products, such as honey or beeswax. Shea butter contains natural latex. If you have any allergies to any of the ingredients, do not purchase the soap.
***NOTE ~ In recognizing my ethical responsibility, I use sustainable palm oils in my soaps. My supplier cultivates their palm oil in an environmentally sustainable manner from farms in Brazil, which does not encroach on the habitats/environments of orangutans that live in the wild only in Asia. The shea butter that I use is fair trade from Africa.
Educational Tidbits Helping To Keep You Informed.
ALL, I repeat, ALL soap is made with sodium hydroxide (Lye). Handmade and store bought soap both are made with sodium hydroxide. If you do not see sodium hydroxide listed on a soap label, it is because the soapmaker/manufacturer chose not to list it. On some soap labels, you may see "saponified oils of...." That is the soapmaker's way of listing the lye that made the soap, without actually using the word "lye" or "sodium hydroxide". The lye and oils have come together (saponified) and changed into soap. I have heard customers state that they have bought glycerin soap and it was not made with lye. This is a myth. If someone is telling you that their soap is not made with lye, they are either not being truthful or they simply do not actually make their soap from scratch and thus do not understand the soap making process. You cannot make soap without lye. Glycerin is a bi-product of soap, meaning the making of the soap produces the glycerin. You cannot obtain glycerin until you make the soap and you cannot make soap until it is combined with lye. People become concerned when they hear the word "lye" but when soap is made using lye, there is no more lye left. It is gone. Here is what happens: When the lye is combined with the oils, a chemically reactive process takes place where the combination of the lye and oils cause both to change into different forms. An analogy of this is...it's like a crawling, furry caterpillar that goes into it's cocoon and when it comes out, it is a beautiful butterfly that is no longer furry, no longer crawls, but has beautiful, colorful wings and flies. Its form has changed and it is no longer what it once was. That is what the lye does. It mixes with the oils and comes out totally different. No longer the scary lye but something that smells good and cleanses your body. I use the best lye available (food grade).
I am an artist who enjoys the designing and creative process and therefore, the soaps that are offered for purchase, are what is available at that time. It is not my intention to run a large assembly line type of business. I really enjoy creating my products and items and giving them particular attention and for that reason and to keep from losing myself in a large process, I will keep it small. Very simple operation...I sell what I have made at the time. What you see on my website is what I have available. With the exception of a few novelty items or some accessories I may offer, You can be guaranteed that the item or product you are receiving was handmade by me. When a soap is out of stock, it will take at least another 4-6 weeks before it can be purchased again, due to the fact that the soap has to cure before it can be sold.
Whether it's bathroom bling, for personal use or given as gifts, I am sure you will find that my luxury soaps extend far in meeting your expectations of high quality, luxury standards. I am a perfectionist and I wouldn't have it any other way. Handcrafted products make excellent gifts.
I hope you enjoy the things that I create as much as I enjoy making them. Thank you for stopping by and perusing my store and thank your for supporting "handmade in America". If you have questions, please feel free to contact me via the onsite form.
