  • AVSC Oils/Essential Oil Blends:

    • Alpha: Essential oils of cinnamon bark, clove, lemon, eucalyptus, and rosemary.
    • Omega: Essential oils of chamomile, cedarwood, sandalwood, and cypress.

    • Hope: Essential oils of rose, lavender, clary sage, sandalwood, and helichrysum.
    • Faith: Essential oils of orange, spearmint, clove, fenugreek, and patchouli.
  • Activated Charcoal - A form of carbon that when used on skin, can draw out impurities, improve texture of skin, and possibly combat acne buildup. Found in permafrost variants.
  • Coconut Oil - This oil comes from the "meat" of coconuts, and is used to bolster the lather in shaving soap.

  • Essential Oil - EO is a natural oil derived from plants and resins, usually through steam distillation. EO's are very fragile in the soapmaking process, and have light skin transfer in bar soap. EO's can sensitize the skin, especially under constant exposure. Avoid while pregnant and keep away from pets and children.

  • Lard and Tallow - Animal fats sourced from pigs or cows, these fats have tremendous skin compatibility and are rich in vitamins and nutrients. Lard has a more hydrating and moisturizing nature when saponified, whereas tallow has a slightly stronger lather. Both last incredibly long in the shower compared to seed oil based soap recipes. Found in Farmhouse Soap.
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil: A cold pressed oil extracted from olives, this oil is extremely skin compatible and conditioning when saponified. Found in True Castile Soap Packs.
  • Menthol Crystals - An organic crystalline substance that triggers the skins "cooling" receptors. Menthol crystals have local counterirritant properties and can relieve irritation. Found in permafrost variants.
  • Stearic Acid - A naturally occurring fatty acid derived from animal or plant fats. Used to stabilize the lather in shaving soap.
