Soaps for Winter!
Winter'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.
Aloe Extra (Triple Aloe Vera), L-Lysine Philanthropic Soap™, and
Soothe (Organic Oats) handmade natural soaps are a great way to start a winter day!
Fabulous Aloe Extra (Triple Aloe Vera) Premium Soap™ is
rich in natural mucosaccharides to gently cleanses all types of sensitive skin any day of the year.
Each bar of L-Lysine Philanthropic Soap™ contains 60 mg of the essential amino acid L-Lysine.
Additionally, L-Lysine Philanthropic Soap™ contains lemon balm (Melissa officinalis), carrageenan from red seaweed (Palmaria palmata),
and dragon's blood (Dracaena draco) essential oil. Use this gentle soap when bathing to cleanse the entire body and leave skin soft.
Soothe (Organic Oats) Premium Soap™ brilliantly incorporates organic oat flour to gently polish skin, organic rolled oats for texture, and
organic oatmeal extracts to calm mild irritations. Rich in oat protein, Soothe (Organic Oats) Premium Soap™ is pleasing on a daily basis,
and is a blessing to anyone with dry skin.

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.
