Can we get on our soapbox a minute? Most of the trusted brands you’re washing up with are made with detergents, chemicals, and tallow, which is just another name for cow fat (umm … gross). Sulfates, chemical fragrance concoctions and parabens can cause irritation, trigger allergies and have other side affects. After learning more about commercial soap ingredients, we found ourselves in a bit of a lather about the whole business. In 2013, we began experimenting with soap recipes that are safe for your skin and contain ingredients you can actually pronounce. After making a few big messes, we created something wonderful and Buff City Soap was born.
