ABOUT THE BRAND
Templos Handcrafted Soaps are soap bars made using the old school saponification process, an age-old way of making soap through mixing Iye, water, and oils—a process which dates back to biblical times! This means each soap batch is made from scratch using the so-called cold process (ensuring we don’t hurt planet earth), then cut and wrapped by hand (ensuring quality). Also, contrary to the commercial way of making soaps, no pre-made, pre-mixed soap bases or store-bought glycerin were used. Rather, the glycerin in Templos soaps is the saponification’s natural by-product, left completely intact; whereas with the run-of-the-mill commercial body bars, the glycerin is the very thing removed, either to be sold separately or to be used for the so-called ‘premium’ skin-care products.
Also, Templos soaps are all-natural. We do not use artificial colorants, synthetic scents, or any of those other harmful chemicals whose names can’t even be pronounced. Instead, we strictly pick natural food-grade ingredients, and for our scented batches, we use pure, authentic essential oils. In short, Templos soaps are then—technically speaking—real, pure soaps.
Lastly, because we source locally, coconut oil is our main soap oil, resulting in lathery bars which are cleansing, antibacterial, and bubbly up to the last itty bitty bit, all the while nurturing and nourishing, even leaving a thin moisturizing film after use.
