Ingredients list

We pride ourselves in being very transparent with the ingredients we use in our soaps and skincare lines. Because we are a small business and don't pay to have our products tested, we cannot claim any product to have certain benefits. For example, we cannot claim our products help with eczema, acne, psoriasis, rosacea, etc. However, we can outline the general benefits of each ingredient as it is commonly documented.

If we've overlooked an ingredient, please let us know so we can add it to the list.

Butters, Oils & Fats Used In Soap Making

At Good Soap Works, we believe that what goes on your skin matters.

From rich, creamy butters that add luxurious moisture to nourishing oils that cleanse gently without stripping, every ingredient serves a purpose—crafted to give your skin the care it deserves.

Due to labeling guidelines, we can’t make specific claims about the nourishing properties of our ingredients, but we encourage you to explore them for yourself! Nature is full of incredible benefits, and we’ve thoughtfully chosen ingredients known for their skin-friendly qualities. Whether you prefer something deeply moisturizing, extra cleansing, or perfectly balanced, we invite you to discover what works best for your skin and enjoy the simple luxury of truly handcrafted soap.
