Lakewood Lye Handmade Soaps

Green Earth Organics is thrilled to be carrying Lakewood Lye Handmade Soaps. Lakewood Lye is a small artisan company based in Vancouver and focused on making 100% natural, vegetable based soap.

Their soap is made from a combination of the highest quality, food grade, vegetable, coconut, and olive oils, and contains no artificial ingredients. Lakewood Lye does not use palm oil, which is harvested in an unsustainable manner.

All the colours in the soaps come from natural earth clays, which are extremely high in minerals such as magnesium and iron that are very beneficial for the skin, while giving a beautiful natural colour to the bars. Other natural soapmakers use natural colours/oxides in their soaps, and although they are not harmful or bad, they do not add any benefit to the soap the way this natural clay does.

The soap is scented with only 100% pure and natural essential oils. They are chosen for their aromatherapy qualities.

The bars are hand cut, so they vary in shape and size. Since they are not milled, they retain much of the natural glycerin. This make the bars very moisturizing and soft to the skin.

There are four varieties of this wonderful soap available:

Lavender Oatmeal: A pure bar scented with lavender and coloured with pink clay from France. The oatmeal is added for its calming properties to the skin.

Peppermint Green Clay: A very refreshing and stimulating bar loaded with peppermint oil and coloured with natural green clay. This is my partner's favourite. After trying it for the first time, he asked me: "Where did the peppermint soap of awesomeness come from?"

Cinnamon Red Clay: A spicy and cleansing bar coloured with red clay.

Moroccan Vanilla: Benzoin essential oil gives this bar a warm rich vanilla scent while the Moroccan lava clay promotes skin health through mineralization and detoxification.

Unscented Goat Milk: Goat's milk is known as a hydrating and therapeutic ingredient in quality soaps due to its high fat and protein content, as well as its vitamin A, D, E, and K levels. Shea butter is also added to this special bar to form a fantastic all natural soap for sensitive skin.

Lakewood Lye Handmade Soaps is working on more varieties, so we look forward to introducing even more scents soon!
