SoapBox

SoapBox Soap classes. Handmade skin care, soaps, and cleaning products freshly made with all-natural ingredients. You don't have to search anymore! This is not all.

If you strive, like me, to stay away from chemicals and potentially toxic ingredients in your daily life, there is a chance you probably spent some time looking for soaps and skin care that don't contain anything which Mother Nature didn't invent. Your Mother Nature designed and hand-made products are here. My online store is dedicated to your health and peace of mind. I just take natural "juices"

and mix them to form artisanal pieces of art. They are not only beautiful, but also utilitarian and healthy. I don't use any artificial preservatives. I don't use dangerous chemical processes. I only use my hands and heart to give you what' s best in human nature - love. Love incarnated in small pieces of natural, colorful and aromatic material. Your skin will tell the difference. Just try it and you will be amazed! All products are freshly made by me. I sometimes transform my kitchen into my artisanal studio where I make the products. Everything you see here has been made in my house. Nothing has been shipped from overseas or far away. It is local, truly local and made by your fellow nature loving Ginger :)

FANS OF THE OLIVE OIL FROM SICILY

Last 2 bottles of the Sicilian olive oil remain until the next harvest in October, which means I am hoping for the next shipment to arrive here around mid/end of November.

Those two bottles expire April 2026.

In African American yards across the South, the making of lye soap in heavy black kettles was a seasonal ritual and a marker of self-sufficiency. African descended people, often women, preserved an ancestral knowledge of turning raw materials into cleansing agents that sustained both health and dignity. Soap-making was not only a household task but also an act of resilience, a way of maintaining standards of cleanliness despite poverty and systemic deprivation.

Traditionally, the process began with collecting wood ashes from the fireplace or outdoor pit. Ashes were leached with water to produce lye, a caustic solution that formed the base of the soap. Families would pour water slowly through a hopper filled with hardwood ashes, catching the liquid that filtered through. When strong enough to float an egg or potato, the lye was ready. Into a large black iron kettle set over an outdoor fire, the lye was mixed with animal fats—often pork lard or tallow left from butchering. The mixture had to be stirred continuously with long paddles, sometimes for hours, until it thickened and cured. The process was dangerous, requiring skill to avoid burns from the lye and careful judgment to achieve the right balance between harshness and cleansing strength.

Once hardened, the soap was cut into blocks or chunks. It carried a strong smell and a rough texture, but it was indispensable. Families used it to scrub laundry on washboards, whitening linens under the sun. It was also used for bathing, believed to purify the body and ward off illness. In many households, the annual soap-making was spoken of with pride, a testimony to thrift, resourcefulness, and the maintenance of cleanliness as a cultural and moral virtue.
