- Although it is still possible to find a few companies having as the therapeutic value of the handmade soaps a priority, handmade artisanal soap-making has been loosing its fundamentals. It is not to be believed that all handmade, either cold or hot processed soap, is created equal. It is not only the method used, but and equally crucial, is the quality of ingredients used to make that soap make a huge difference on the final product.
- In spite of that Vitae Soaps are intended to remove impurities from the skin, which can cause unpleasant odors, wash away microorganism that can cause skin infections Vitae Soaps must also leave the skin supple nourished, hydrated and healthy. This was the fundamental on which handmade soap making was based. This is the fundamental I intend to pass along with each and every soap I create.

- Ingredients and principles involved in the artisanal production of "handmade" has longer been abandoned for the benefit of "profitability". A high quality soap goes far beyond cleansing. It must have nourishing, healing, therapeutic value. Large "handmade soap" private label manufacturers offer an endless number colors, shapes, and highly synthetic fragranced soaps made from a basic palm-coconut- sunflower-canola-soy formula intended to leave your skin "squeaky clean". It means, washing out the skin's protective oils, leaving the skin subject of all sort of infections which cause iching rashes, sores. Choosing a soap should be given the same importance as we give to our facial creams.
- I formulate Vitae Soaps to address specific skin needs using the same ingredients you will find in high end skin care creams. Raw, pure, unrefined, unprocessed organic ingredients free on any lab-made cosmetic grade dyes, such mica and dioxide or synthetic fragrances. Each and every one soap I formulate is unique in all aspects since the ingredients I use until the intended use for that soap. The colors of Vitae Soaps come either from the natural colors of unrefined oils/butters, or clays, and botanical powders, which are added to the soap not only for colors or textures, but as an active ingredient to nourish and help the skin to heal itself.
