The natural bath and body products are handmade at the Creative Chateau.  Artist Terri Meyer blends the cold pressed soaps in small batches 12 to 40 bars at a time, using only natural food grade vegetable oils and lye (the necessary ingredient to act as catalyst in producing soap). Our products are vegan, we use no animal products.   The result is a beautiful bar of chemical free soap that is gentle on the skin.  Natural soaps take 3 to 6 weeks to cure, this allows the water to dissipate and the ph balance to neutralize within the bar.  Lotion bars , lip balms, and bath fizzies require no curing time and are always in stock.
