Homemade soap. What’s so great about it? Well, It’s all natural, & it’s nourishing because of the added butters & oils. It may cost more that the soap you buy in a supermarket, but that’s because it contains ingredients not found in commercially made soap. Homemade soap also retains the moisturizing glycerin that commercial soap bars are void of. Also, for the most part, commercial soap contains synthetic ingredients you can’t pronounce. The other thing wonderful about homemade soap is that it is an item we all need, everyday of our lives.
Now for the ingredients. The following is a list of general ingredients used in a variety of Nature Maiden soaps. Nature Maiden Soaps are made with sodium hydroxide (lye), tallow, shea butter, cocoa butter, distilled water, olive oil, camellia oil, aloe vera, honey, coconut oil, castor oil, essential oils, fragrance oil, natural exfoliants, natural clays, natural & pigments. Some soaps contain only essential oils, some contain fragrance oils (not considered 100% all natural), and some soaps have no added scent at all.
How do the ingredients become soap? Easy, by Saponification. It’s what happens when oils and lye chemically react- that chemical reaction creates soap. When all done, glycerin is left in the bar, a very moisturizing ingredient that helps along with the other butters & oils in soothing your skin.Glycerin naturally moisturizes the skin. Commercial soap makers remove the glycerin & process the glycerin into other products like hand and body lotion, creams, balms, and other moisturizers. This is why some commercially made soap can be so drying.
So, after the soap sets for 24 hrs, the soap is then cut into bars, and left to cure for a minimum of 3 weeks & up to 4 weeks. The curing process is important so that any remaining water in the soap will evaporate. The longer the soap cures, the harder the bar will become, and will therefore last longer. As far as any lye remaining in the soap, after the saponification process is complete, the lye is gone. You can use the soap 24hrs after you’ve made it, but it will be a bit soft. That’s why it’s put up to cure.
Nature Maiden Soaps are made in small batches, by hand, in my home. I do not have a large factory. Personal attention is given to every bar-from when the ingredients are carefully weighed out and mixed, while pouring the batch, while cutting and putting the bars up to set, while labeling & finally, when they are carefully packed for your order- a lot of time, passion and love goes into every bar- from start to finish.
The other great thing about homemade soap is that they come in all shapes & varieties. There are fun shapes for kids, now there’s a way to get your kid to take a bath! You can also have custom wedding favors made with soap, it’s something everyone will use- instead of giving you quests a dust collector, give them beautiful soaps instead.
There’s something about creating something with your hands, getting back to basics, that is so rewarding. I have not bought a bar of soap from the store in a long time. I make the soap for my family. Nature Maiden soaps lather beautifully, smell great, and are wonderful for your skin. If you don’t love my soaps, I’ll refund your money.

Hi everyone!
I’m SO glad Spring is finally here! How wonderful to feel the sun shining on my face, and to see the pretty flowers growing! It’s time to do the craft fairs again, and this Saturday will be my 2nd already this month!
I also have some inventory replenishing to do! Lots of soap to make, about 35 batches worth. Between the fairs last year and the increase of orders, the soap is going fast.
I wanted to also have the soy candles out by spring, but that will be delayed a little bit longer. I’m eager to do the candles because I know they will be a hit. I’ll send out an email notification to those wanting to know when the candles are ready.
I’ve also decided to make some changes to my website. I want to focus on certain products more than others. I also only will offer soap now for wholesale- as opposed to many other products I use to have available. Some products I enjoy making than others, so I wanted to shift my focus on the ones I enjoy most.
Soap is my main product. I also offer lip balms, all natural salves, massage oils, solid lotion bars, body sprays, room/linen sprays, solid perfumes, all natural bug repellent & more. I also offer unscented product for those with sensitivities.
I have a Refer a Friend program. For every person you refer to Nature Maiden who makes a purchase, you earn a $5.00 credit in my store. See site for details.
Most products ship within 1-2 business days. I ship either USPS Priority, or UPS for larger orders. All of my products come with a personal guarantee. If you are not satisfied, I will refund you the full purchase price (minus shipping), or offer a product replacement of equal of lesser value. I strive for 100% customer satisfaction, and welcome any concerns you may have.
If you haven’t tried Nature Maiden products yet, I welcome you to try my homemade soaps, luscious lip balms or any other of my great products. Satisfaction is guaranteed. Anyone who appreciates products made with wholesome ingredients will appreciate Nature Maiden products.
Treat yourself, or give as a gift, Nature Maiden makes the perfect gift!
I’m going to go and enjoy the rest of my evening, and listen to the birds sing. Have a wonderful evening!
