Antika Nueva

Yes, we make soap. We started making soap because my favorite handmade soapmaker retired on me, and after many years of handmade soap, I found I had developed a horrible skin sensitivity to commercial soap. And once you start with handmade soap, you never go back!

Current scents are available in our Etsy Shop.

Our soap is handmade lye-based cold-process soap, made in my kitchen, by hand, with a drinks mixer and the possibility of explosion! Generally made with olive oil, soy oil, lye, and shea butter.

Soapmaking was supposed to be my hobby, but when my SO wandered into the kitchen and discovered that working with lye could potentially blow the place up, he got involved...after we made a few batches, I said "Honey, either we sell this stuff or insulate the walls with it. What do you want to call it?" and he looked at me and said "Call it? It's just f---ng soap!"

So welcome to Just F#$@! Soap. It's all made at home. We don't do animal testing because the cats won't stand for it; however, we tested it on my SO who is the Most Allergic Human On The Planet, and he's fine. It lasts a long time, smells really good, and because my SO insisted we have no girly foufy smells, most of it tends to the spicy and savory rather than the sweet.

Handmade soap tends to be easier on the skin and last longer than commercial soaps...the longer it cures, the better it gets.
