FAQ

I have sensitive skin. Can I still use your soap?

While afalcysoapco does not make medical claims to diagnose, cure, treat, or prevent any disease or ailment, many customers with sensitive skin have found our real soap bars to be gentle and soothing compared to conventional products. Afalcysoapco uses both essential and fragrance oils. We use skin-safe fragrances that are clean and free from harmful substances like phthalates or parabens. Before full use, spot test all skin products. Keep it away from eyes and mouth, discontinue use if any irritation occurs, and consult a physician if necessary. If you have any questions about ingredients, feel free to contact us. Please remember that soap is not edible, it is intended for cleaning your external skin surface only and should not be used internally.

 

Are these soaps only made for hand use?

Our soap bars can be used exactly how you would use any other soap bar! They are skin safe- that means safe for all of your skin; hands & body. Special bars may be made that better align for facial care however all of our soaps will still cleanse and leave your skin feeling great!

 

Do you use Lye?

Lye is essential for the saponification process that turns fats, oils, and butters into soap. There is no active lye in our soap bars once the saponification process has completed. 

 

Why should I buy handcrafted soap when I can get a cheaper one at the store?

Unlike commercially made soaps, handcrafted cold process soap retains natural glycerin and avoids harsh synthetic surfactants, making it gentle and nourishing for your skin. Real soap bars cannot be made without the saponification process. Our soaps also offer transparency with its listed ingredients and adds an artistic touch to your daily routine. Additionally, it is always appreciated when small businesses are supported!

 

When should my order ship?

Under normal operations, orders are typically processed within 3-5 business days. However, during high-demand releases, it may take up to 10 business days for your order to be shipped. We prioritize packing orders quickly and safely.

 

Can I return soap?

Due to sanitary reasons, we do not accept returns or exchanges under any circumstances. In cases of wrong product sent, defective product, or any mistake on our end, a refund may be requested. Otherwise, all sales are final once shipped. Personal dislike of scent, texture, or design will not qualify for a refund, as scent perception varies among individuals. We do our best to describe scents based on fragrance and essential oils used, along with manufacturers' descriptions. Handmade products may have slight design variations.

 

How can I pick up locally?
