ABOUT THE ARTIST

Our soap is an outgrowth of my need for specific types of soap that could not be found in our area. 

I do not use animal by-products or synthetic oils.  I do use olive oil, coconut oil, and palm oil.  Each of these oils lends a distinct quality to our soaps.  Olive oil is used for mildness and the ability to soften the skin.  The coconut oil gives it a rich lather, and the palm oil makes it a hard, long lasting bar of soap. 

Franklin Farm Soaps are better than commercially produced soap because the glycerin is left in.  Glycerin is a natural by product of soap, but it is removed during the high heat processing that commercial manufacturers use. 

A great deal of research goes into choosing the ingredients for my products.  Each product is tested by myself, my family, and my friends before it is offered to the public. 

My soaps are simple and tasteful.  They are poured into oak frames, cut and trimmed by hand.  Even the wrappers lend a simple elegance.  The hand cutting produces a slight irregularity that adds to the handcrafted beauty. 

I hope you will enjoy using my herbal soaps as much as I enjoy making them.
