Berea KY Hand-Made Glycerin Soap
Using Natural Ingredients

Grinning Planet Farm, Berea, KY offers hand-made glycerin soaps. Glycerin is a humectant, meaning it attracts moisture to your skin. Glycerin is a natural by-product of the soapmaking process and while commercial manufacturers remove the glycerin for use in their more profitable lotions and creams, handcrafted soap retains glycerin in each and every bar. In addition to the glycerin base soaps our products may contain shea butter, olive oil, lanolin, and beeswax. See descriptions for ingredient list.
