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.
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.
The unique attributes of these resins add new dimensions to our soaps, giving them antibacterial, antiviral, anti-fungal, and antimicrobial benefits.
Spiced Natural Perfume
Who doesn't love the smell of a pumpkin-spiced latte? Blended with ingredients like Cardamom essential oil and C02 Cassia extract, this aromatic blend satisfies your olfactory senses, but without the caffeine kick.
Honey
Used for it's topical benefits for thousands of years, honey has been shown to provide natural hydration, fight acne-causing bacteria, and calms inflammation.
Vitamin E
Although this vitamin is natural-occurring in tallow, we’ve decided to give Basics an edge that you won’t find in the other three core soaps we produce. What Basics lacks in scent, it makes up in hydration. Expect to have your skin feeling moisturized long after stepping out of the shower.
Shea Butter
A natural fat extracted from the kernels of the African shea tree. Some of the known topics benefits of this butter includes skin moisturizing, soothing inflamed skin, and skin cell growth.
Pumpkin Puree
Pumpkin puree has been shown to help with gentle exfoliation, stimulate collagen production, and contain Vitamins A, C & E to combat free radicals.
Mica Powder
