What is Lye and why is our soap lye-free?Lye, or sodium hydroxide, is a common ingredient in traditional soap making. However, at Breathe Lyfe, we have innovated a method that eliminates the need for lye, ensuring our soaps are natural and lye-free. Lye can be harmful if not properly handled, potentially causing skin irritation or burns. It is used to trigger the saponification process, turning oils into soap. If not fully saponified, lye can remain in the final product, posing risks. Additionally, lye production and disposal have environmental impacts. Therefore, we choose to avoid lye, prioritizing safety and sustainability in our products.
-
Can I use Breathe Lyfe soap products on my pets?Yes, our soap products are suitable for pets, but we highly recommend using our specially formulated pet shampoo bars. These bars contain jojoba oil and neem, which are beneficial for pets. Jojoba oil moisturizes, while neem has natural antibacterial and antifungal properties that address common skin issues in pets. However, individual pets may have sensitivities or allergies to certain ingredients. Always perform a patch test on a small area of your pet's skin before extensive use. For any concerns or questions, consult with a veterinarian for personalized advice.

Do you have soap products with extra exfoliation?Yes, we offer soap products with extra exfoliating ingredients such as lemon zest, orange zest, black seeds, oatmeal flakes, and coconut flakes. Lemon and orange zest provide a refreshing scent and skin benefits from natural oils. Crushed black seeds help remove dead skin cells for a smoother complexion. Oatmeal flakes soothe and calm the skin, ideal for sensitive or irritated skin. Pumice, a natural volcanic rock, offers gentle exfoliation, especially for rough areas like the feet. Coconut flakes add tropical indulgence and moisturizing properties. These ingredients enhance the sensory experience and provide additional skin benefits.

What makes Breathe Lyfe soap natural, plant-based, and vegan?Our soap is natural, vegan, and plant-based because it is made with plant-derived ingredients and contains no animal-derived components. We use natural ingredients like coconut oil, olive oil, and shea butter, which are minimally processed and retain their natural properties, benefiting the skin. Our soaps are free from animal fats, goat's milk, and other animal products, making them suitable for a vegan lifestyle. We prioritize plant-based ingredients, including base oils, essential oils, and botanical extracts, to create a gentle, environmentally friendly product.

What is kaolin clay and why is it used in our soap?Kaolin clay is a type of soft white clay that is gentle on the skin. It is known for its ability to absorb excess oil and impurities from the skin, making it a great ingredient for cleansing and detoxifying. Kaolin clay also has mild exfoliating properties, which can help to remove dead skin cells and leave the skin feeling smooth and refreshed.
-
Can the soap be used on my face?Yes, our natural Detox Soaps can typically be used on the face. However, it's important to consider your skin type and individual sensitivities. Some people may find that certain soaps are too drying or irritating for their facial skin, that's thanks to our deep cleaning kaolin clay. If you have sensitive or acne prone skin, it may be beneficial to choose a soap specifically formulated for the face, we recommend our Chlorophyll and Turmeric Beauty Bars.
-
Is the soap hypoallergenic?Our soap is made from natural, plant based ingredients and does not contain common allergens. However, everyone's skin is different and reactions to even the most natural ingredients can occur. While our soap is designed to be gentle and suitable for sensitive skin, we cannot guarantee that it is hypoallergenic for everyone. If you have a known skin sensitivity or allergy, we recommend doing a patch test before using the soap.
-
Are your soap and body butter products suitable for all skin types?Yes, our natural products are designed to be safe and suitable for all skin types. Whether you have acne prone, dry, oily, combination, sensitive or normal skin, our soap is formulated to cleanse gently without stripping the skin of its natural oils. The plant based ingredients like virgin coconut oil and shea butter provide nourishment and hydration, while kaolin clay helps to balance oil production and detoxify the skin. However, everyone's skin is unique, and individual reactions can vary.
-
What are therapeutic grade essential oils, and why do we use them?Therapeutic grade essential oils are highly concentrated plant extracts that are known for their various therapeutic properties. We use these oils in our products to provide natural fragrance and potential benefits to the skin. These essential oils are carefully selected for their purity and quality.
-
Are the personal care products safe for children, teens and pregnant women?Our natural soap is generally safe for children, teens, and pregnant women. However, it is always recommended to perform a patch test before using any new product, especially for individuals with known sensitivities or allergies. Additionally, pregnant women may want to consult with their healthcare provider before introducing any new skincare products into their routine. While our soap is made from natural ingredients and does not contain harsh chemicals, individual sensitivities can vary and it's important to prioritize personal health and safety.
-
Do you offer any soap products with soothing properties for irritated skin?Yes, our soap contains ingredients like shea butter, which is known for its anti-inflammatory properties that can help soothe irritated skin. Additionally, the natural oils in our soap, such as virgin coconut oil, can help to moisturize and nourish the skin, further reducing irritation and damaged skin.
-
Is the soap antibacterial?Yes, it does contain ingredients like virgin coconut oil which have natural antimicrobial properties. This means they can help cleanse the skin by removing bacteria. However, it's important to note that our soap is not intended to replace any medically prescribed antibacterial treatments or products.
-
Do we use synthetic colors?No, we do not use any synthetic colors in our soap. All the colors in our soap come from natural sources, such as plant based ingredients, natural clays and essential oils. This means that not only are our soaps free from potentially harmful synthetic dyes, but they also carry the beneficial properties of the natural ingredients used for coloring. This is part of our commitment to creating a truly natural and skin friendly product.
-
Why is the soap referred to as "detox bar"?We call our soap "Detox Soap" because it contains ingredients like kaolin clay that have detoxifying properties. Kaolin clay is known for its ability to draw out impurities and excess oil from the skin, helping to cleanse and purify it. By incorporating this clay into our soap, we aim to provide a cleansing experience that helps remove toxins and leave the skin feeling refreshed. However, it's important to note that the term "detox" in this context refers to the cleansing and purifying action on the skin, rather than any internal detoxification. (We help in that field as well, the name for the soap came from wanting a non harmful soap during a fast). DetoxSoaps.com
