Soap making is a science, an art, and a challenge. Fair & Square soaps start by combining oils with an alkali substance known as ‘lye.’ When the two join together, the magic happens (A.K.A. a chemical reaction called ‘saponification’). Then the soaps wait patiently while they cure for at least six weeks. Finally, we’re left with a hard, long-lasting, rich-lathering bar of soap. Pure goodness, hand-cut and packaged up just for you.
