Our Custom Manufacturing division offers bar soap, shampoo bars, foaming soap, castile soap, and body wash. We can customize any of these to create a product that is right for your brand.

If none of these fit your needs, our Research and Development Lab may be able to create a product that will. It's important to note that we specialize in creating traditional bar and liquid soap. Some products, like lotions and conditioners, require processes that are outside our standard manufacturing processes and organic certification.

We have replicated several scents, often of synthetic bars, through our own processes, but recreating a product exactly depends on the product and the legality of its recipe.

If you are a new customer looking for customized soap, we want to help you conceptualize what your final product will look like. Botanie's President and Founder, Tim Iudicello, describes the process one can expect when working with the Custom Manufacturing division.

For custom products, our production timeline is typically 8-10 weeks for bar soap and 6-8 weeks for liquid soap. This can vary due to ingredients' availability and seasonal demand, so always check with your account manager.

It means that in manufacturing our products, we don't test their safety or effects on animals. It also means we don't use ingredients whose producers test on animals.
To display the Leaping Bunny logo on our product, you must register your company with Leaping Bunny.

Natural soap means a true soap made by saponifiying plant-based whole oils (not isolated fatty acids). At Botanie, we use only certified organic oils for our bar soap and liquid soap base recipes. We oppose the body care industry's use of the word "natural" to include synthetic fragrances, colorants, and preservatives. We add no artificial substances to our soaps, such as synthetic fragrances, dyes, and preservatives, and where possible, we use organically grown products.

All our soaps are scented with essential oils only, and we do not allow fragrance oils in our building. We color our soap with a variety of organic herbs and plant derived products. For custom production, we also use mineral pigments. Our products do not contain parabens. Read through our ingredient list to see what we mean by "natural soap." Then, to really see what we mean, take a copy of our ingredients with you next time you go to the store and compare them to the ingredients of soaps on the shelves. It's easy to see the difference.

Phew. That was a mouthful, but we're passionate about it.

"Regular" soap tends to be mass-manufactured from tallow, palm, and coconut oils. It has no moisturizing superfats and no glycerin. Mass-manufactured bars often contain detergents to minimize the harshness of the soap itself and to enhance the lather.

At Botanie, we make soap by delicately balancing the oils to achieve moisturizing, cleaning, and skin-feel properties. Instead of detergents synthesized in a lab, all our soaps are made from natural ingredients.

Essential oils are pure plant extracts used for scenting or aromatherapy, where fragrance oils are synthetically made substitutes for essential oils. Because fragrance oils contain synthetic compounds, they can dry and irritate sensitive skin.

Always be sure to read a product's label. If the ingredient list includes the word "fragrance," "perfume," or "parfum," it's synthetic and not natural, even if its packaging may say it's a natural soap.

All Botanie Soaps contain only true, plant-extract essential oils. Never fragrance.

Superfatting is a process by which soapmakers calculate soap recipes to have an excess of different oils in their soaps. The molecular structure of soap is designed to strip away grease and oils (this is how it cleans), but this dries the skin. Formulating with additional superfats counters this.

All Botanie soaps, both bar and liquid, have superfatted formulations. Superfatting soaps does not make your skin oily. Rather, it allows the soap to clean effectively without drying out your skin.

Traditionally, castile is soap made from olive oil. However, today, it refers to any soap made from plant oils.

More specifically, the term castile has evolved in North America to refer to liquid soap made from plant oils. This usage was popularized by the brand Dr. Bronner's and is the one we use at Botanie.

All soap, including Botanie's, is made using lye. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is used to make bars, and potassium hydroxide (KOH) is used for liquid soap. Even transparent "glycerin" soap and "melt and pour" soaps are made using lye.

In soap-making, lye is a raw ingredient. All lye is consumed in the saponification process as molecules of oils and lye interact and reform to create molecules of soap and glycerin, Thus, while soap is made with lye, the finished product doesn't contain lye. Any company that claims their soap is not made with lye is either promoting false information or doesn't understand the chemistry behind soap.

Yes, Botanie Soap has organic certification under the USDA's National Organic Program. We also have "Made with Organic" certification under the NSF / ANSI 305 standard. In both cases, organic certification is a rigorous professional standard that must be validated and re-issued annually. At Botanie, official organic certification assures our customers that our ingredients, our facility, and our procedures truly support our organic status. For more information about organic certification see our Explanation of Organic video.

Although we cannot guarantee it, chances are, yes. Most skin sensitivities are aggravated by the synthetic ingredients in lotions, creams, make-up, and soaps. Without these ingredients, there is nothing left to irritate the skin. Many people with sensitive skin enjoy using our scented herbal soap varieties, and we recommend our unscented bar and liquid soaps for people with extreme sensitivities.

Botanie is Leaping Bunny certified, meaning our products are cruelty free.

All our products, except for our shea honey oatmeal bar soap, are plant-based and vegan. Honey is an animal product.

We don’t use GMO’s. Part of organic certification is a restriction against using genetically altered ingredients.

Ethically sourced palm oil means our palm oil comes from companies and farms that practice sustainable production and adhere to third-party traceability. Our organic palm oil supplier has full RSPO-IP traceability (the highest standard of transparency).

In the majority of our soaps, the colors come from a variety of natural herbs. In our custom manufacturing division, we work with minerals, oxides and clays in addition to herbs to derive soap color. Because natural products vary from batch to batch, slight variability in color should be expected.

We strive to make color as consistent as possible from batch to batch. This isn't always easy when dealing exclusively with natural products. With every herb or clay we purchase, we make tests batches to see how that color will perform and adjust our formulas accordingly. It's a lot of work, but we're committed to both natural products and to consistency in our manufacturing.

We suggest a shelf life of one year. The soap is still good after that, but scents and color fade over time. We recommend you order up to 3-6 months of inventory, but not more so that the soap is always optimum.

The best place to store our soap is a cool dry one, out of direct sunlight and away from extremes of heat.

Our office is open normal daytime business hours M-F. See Hours & Directions for updated information.
