About Wildflower Soapworks
- Wildflower Soapworks
- The process in which our soaps are made is called the cold-batch method. It is not a boiled soap, therefore the oils keep their nutritive qualities. None of the glycerin is drawn off as in commercial soaps. The result is a rich bubbly moisturizing bar that leaves your skin clean and silky. The soaps are available individually wrapped and labeled, unwrapped, or in logs so the customer may cut their own piece as desired. Our product line is expanding rapidly. We now have lotions, fragrance oils, lip balms, bath salts, sugar scrubs, and shower gels.

Going Green ...
By offering your customers the option of "slice yourself" bulk soap, there is less packaging involved to crowd our landfills. Soap Logs are a more economical choice than the pre-wrapped bars. Your customers will enjoy the novelty of cutting the soap themselves and have the benefit of seeing, smelling, and feeling natural handcrafted soap—as well as saving money. This will keep them coming back for more!
