Heart of Iowa Soapworks
is nestled among the rolling fields and prairies in beautiful Central Iowa.
We strive to provide you with the highest quality Handmade Artisan Soaps and Toiletry products. You won't find any pre-made bases here. Just Genuine Handmade totally-from-scratch REAL Soap, NOT those commercially made transparent "glycerin" detergent bars.
Our soaps are created using the Cold-process method. This method insures that the naturally occurring glycerin remains in the final product to clean and pamper your skin. All the soaps are hand cut and trimmed, so slight variations in size and shape is to be expected.
We use only Food Quality oils and butters such as: Olive oil, Avocado oil, Sweet Almond oil & Rice bran oil. Unrefined Shea, Cocoa & Mango butters are used generously to provide an extra emollient for your skin.
Pure Essential Oils, the actual REAL plant extracts, are included whenever possible for scent and skin-care benefits. Skin-safe synthetic fragrance oils are judiciously used when a scent not found in Nature is desired.
The vast majority of our soaps do not contain additional colorant of any kind. If color is desired, naturally derived clays, herbs and plant extracts are used whenever possible.
As I sometimes have adverse reactions to artificial color, I prefer NOT to add them to the soaps.
Although our soaps smell good enough to eat, I wouldn't recommend it!
Keep these products out of the eyes!
