Welcome to AllSorts of Soap! Why I make natural soaps.
Let me tell you a bit about why I began this journey...my story if you like. For many years I have wondered if the pollutants in my own home and in my skin care products was contributing to my joint and muscle pain, arthritis, asthma, and tiredness. However I still continued to buy the newest product that promised Miracles if it wasn't too expensive! That was until I began my daily struggle with Brachioradial Prurits. This is a condition where for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week my right arm constantly itched, stung, burned or pained, or did all 4 at the same time!! I thought that I was going mad as I had no visible rash or skin irritation...Just this constant, chronic stinging, burning itch!
After 6 years of this, coupled with my constant scratching and tearing at my skin...I did develop a skin condition. I could not have my arm in sunlight as this hurt, or near a heat source as this caused pain, light touch was maddening and so if a gentle breeze was blowing on a beautiful Spring day...I had to hide indoors. A red, lumpy rash developed and then along came the "nodules". The Dermatologist called the lumps Nodular Prurigo and he said that he could not treat them. Anyway, to cut a long story short...I decided to stop all artificial chemicals on my skin and scalp.
I can't tell you...as much as I would love to, that my itch has gone away...it hasn't...but it is better and more manageable. What I can tell you is that my nodules have gone down and my arm no longer looks unsightly with large wart-like lumps! Is it because I have stopped the chemicals on my skin and the constant stripping away of the natural skin oils? I don't know!
But I will not go back to the chemical world of skin care products!!

This site has grown out of my personal necessity due to my own skin concerns, and also a desire to sell superior, natural handcrafted soaps so that you and your family can enjoy healthier skin! I also hope that through the creation and sale of my soaps, I will also be able to give back to those people in need in our world. There are many wonderful and worthwhile charities and organisations that do a fantastic job in helping others and one of those is Compassion International.
I hope to raise funds for a wonderful organisation, Compassion Australia. 10% of all sales from my soaps will go toward Compassion's Child Survival Program.
