ARTISAN SOAP FAQS

How much does each bar weigh? | Each bar typically weighs more than 5oz but please keep in mind that artisan soap, as a general practice, is not mass-produced. Therefore each bar could vary slightly in size, scent, and appearance. 

What is cold-process soap? | It is a process that involves combining oils, such as olive oil, with an alkaline solution made from sodium or lye, to form a solid bar of soap. This reaction is also known as saponification.

Why does my soap look different than before? | Artisan soap, as a general practice, is not mass-produced; therefore, each bar may vary in size, scent, and look. While appearance may vary, the base ingredients are the same. 

What is small batch soap? | It is the process of mixing relatively small volumes of oils with alkaline solutions to produce soap. We only produce 2-4 batches a month. So you can be confident in the care and attention that goes into each bar you get. That said, if you see something you like, we recommend getting it, as it may not be in stock for long!

Is OHENE soap organic certified? | No, however, most of the ingredients are organic certified by our wholesale distributor. Check out our ingredients list to see all the organic oils in each bar.

Is your palm oil sustainable? | Yes, it is sustainably harvested which does not further the deforestation of orangutan's natural habitat in Asia.

What makes the soap vegan? | Ohene soaps contain zero animal products. We also don’t test our soap on animals.

Is OHENE soap free of parabens and phthalates? |  Yes. Ohene soap is free of parabens and phthalates and is always made with natural essential oils, instead of artificial perfumes and fragrances.

Which soaps are best for sensitive skin? | Our PURE,  / Aloe, Geranium, Eucalyptus, / and African Black soap are customer favorites for their gentle cleansing ability and high moisture content.

Ingredients:

At Ohene, we use the highest quality ingredients we can get our hands on. Our artisan soaps are handmade from scratch, with a balanced blend of skin-hydrating pure vegetable oils, which include coconut, sustainably harvested palm, extra virgin olive oil and vitamin E-packed sunflower oil. For an added layer of moisture and nourishment, we infuse a generous amount of fair trade unrefined shea and cocoa butter. By reducing scar, blemishes, wrinkles and blocking harmful UV rays, nutrient-rich shea and cocoa butter are essential to softening, protecting and restoring skin to its healthy natural state.
