Where it all started...
Hi. My name is Susan and I am the mastermind behind Southern Butterflies. I suppose my desire to make soap began when I was a child. One day, when I had the house all to myself, the chemist in me thought how neat it would be to actually make soap. I grabbed an old bar of hotel soap, broke it in pieces, added water, and proceeded to cook it. As you can imagine, all I had was a BIG mess and a little disappointment. Oh well. At least I tried, right?!
Since then, I have learned to make a real batch of soap and it has not only benefited my family, but my customers and their families too. There are no detergents or petroleum residues in my soap, as they can be drying and irritating to your skin. This is especially important to me because some members of my family have sensitive skin. I use all-natural vegetable oils in my soap - no animal fats! My soaps are scented with natural essential oils and/or skin-safe fragrances. Handmade soap has the added benefit of containing glycerin, a natural by-product of the soapmaking process. Many commercial manufacturers extract this very moisturizing ingredient to put into more elite products or to sell as a raw material.
Don't stop at soap. Try my other products too. Southern Butterflies offers something for everyone and has many fragrances available. Whether for friends, family, or for yourself, Southern Butterflies has what you need. So pamper yourself...and take a break from life! ©
