At Stambry's we make several different bar soaps. We offer a variety of scents. We can custom make soaps for anyone. If you prefer soaps with certain base oils or essential/fragrance oils we can meet your needs.
Do you have allergies to certain products? We can make sure that those are not used in your soaps.
Special orders of soap take 4 weeks from start to shipping.
After the soap is made, it must sit for 4 weeks to cure and have the saponification process to complete (actually it takes almost a year to complete the saponification process, but 4 weeks to the usable stage). Curing is where the water used in the soap making is allowed to evaporate from the soaps. This gives you a long lasting, hard bar of soap. The saponification process is where the lye/water and the oil/butter solutions are mixed and as the lye reacts with the oil/butter is changes chemically to produce soap. It take approximetly 3-4 weeks for this process to slow down enough that it is safe to use on your skin. We wouldn't want anyone to be using a lye heavy soap, that would not be safe.
One note though. We do have "unscented" soaps. What this means is that there is no added scents (such as essential or fragrance oils). Many of the oils and butters have a "natural" scent that will stay with the soaps such as Cocoa Butter, and Hemp or Neem Oils. In order to get these oils with no scents they would have to go through a chemical process, this process would add trace elements of the chemicals used, and may even affect the effectivness of the properties you are trying to achieve. Stambry's will not use these products. We try to keep all our products as natural as possible. Though we use organic oils, herbs and essential oils as much as possible. We are not "certified" organic as this is a very lengthy and costly process.
We specialize in two different types of soaps, vegan based and animal based (lard).
Naomi (my late partner) specialized in lard based soaps. This type of soap has a very nice stable lather and great cleansing/moisturizing properties.
In Naomi's soaps we have a variety of scents, though you of course can request almost anything. Her soaps contain Coconut, Sunflower, Olive and Lard as well as Cocoa Butter.
One of Naomi's best sellers was her Baby soap. This is a very mild soap, great for baby's sensitive skin.
We also carry Naomi's Fruitti Patooti soap, this is Patchouli essential oil and fruit fragrance oils.
We also have Naomi's facial bar, this is her basic recipe with Bentonite Clay for a mild micro-abrasion, and the essential oils of Rosewood, Carrot and Geranium. These three oils are historically used as anti-aging products.
We offer three different versions of our vegan soaps. Using oils and butters from Coconut, Olive, Hemp, Castor, Palm Kernel, Sunflower, Safflower Oils, we also use Cocoa, Shea and Mango butters.
These can be in many combinations, our best sellers are Lavender (Lavender Essential Oils, Ground lavender buds, herbal coloring), Lavender & Oatmeal, Our Sea Dragon Line, Rosemary & Spearmint (Rosemary and Spearmint Essential Oils, Ground Rosemary & Spearmint herbs, herbal coloring), Oatmeal Milk & Honey is always a favorite (made with local Honey!).
Our Sea Dragon Line is our Signature Line. It is Patchouli based.
Sea Dragon - Patchouli essential oil
Sea Dragon's Blood - Patchouli and Cherry
Sea Dragon's Tears -Patchouli and Blueberry
Sea Dragon's Breath - Patchouli and Vanilla
Sea Dragon's Dream - Patchouli and Amber
