Soaps for Springtime!
Springtime's harsh weather can leave delicate skin dry, itchy, cracked, and chapped.
All soaps crafted by Pallas Athene Soap contain glycerin (a natural humectant) to
prevent dry skin and they all contain natural antioxidant vitamins E, C, & A to help prevent cellular damage to skin from free radicals.
Breathe (Peppermint & Pine), Awaken (Coffee & Oats), and
Vanilla Vanilla handmade natural soaps are a great way to start a spring day!
Fabulous Breathe Premium Soap™ penetrates with organic peppermint and fresh pine.
Breathe's zippy aroma and thick lather provide an invigorating clean for any day of the year.
The fresh inspiring scent of Awaken Premium Soap™ abounds with genuine coffee, which makes this delicious soap a fantastic
morning treat!
The lather from Awaken is rich with glycerin, caffeine, and essential fatty acids to leave skin clean and soft.
Awaken Premium Soap™ is a fabulously earthy soap.
Sweet Vanilla Vanilla Premium Soap™ has a naturally sweet vanilla scent and
contains the ground outer pod of organic vanilla beans.

Our chart of saponification values (for determining the amount of lye needed to make soap)
is one of the most accurate on the Internet. This project involved contacting dozens of oil distributors and processors in 2006
and averaging the true SAP values before
calculating the saponification values for lye (sodium hydroxide). The chart of saponification values,
along with a brief explanation of terms and calculations, may be found on the Certified Lye™ website:
Chart of Saponification Values.
