Lye Water
We use the cold-processed lye method of making our soaps.
Beef Tallow
Undeniably one of the most effective fats to use in the soap making process. This healthy fat is well-known for its ability to moisturize the skin, while delivering additional skin benefits with natural-occurring Vitamins such as A, D, E and K.
Peppermint
Who doesn’t enjoy the smell of fresh peppermint? As the dominant scent of Northwind, the fragrance of peppermint essential oil is sure to encourage an alert and energized mind.
Conifer Resin
Perhaps the one ingredient that makes our soaps stand out from the rest. We include a unique oleoresin blend gathered from various coniferous trees that grow naturally within the Hudson Valley, which include the Norway Spruce, Colorado Spruce, White Sugar Pine, and the Ponderosa Pine.
Activated Charcoal
The newest upgrade to Northwind (partially due to popular request). Popular in the world of skincare, activated charcoal is a natural exfoliant, known for removing impurities and aiding with acne by cleansing pores.
Coffee
We love drinking coffee, but what about using it in bathing? When applied to the skin, caffeine is known for tightening & ironing out wrinkles on the skin, while also strengthening and promoting hair growth.
