FAQs

ABOUT OUR SOAPS

Are your soaps really handmade?

Yes. Every Truequest soap bar is handmade in small batches using the traditional cold‑process method. No mass production, no shortcuts — just honest, carefully crafted soap.

What ingredients do you use?

We use high‑quality plant oils, natural clays, botanicals, and essential oils. No detergents, no SLS, no parabens, no synthetic preservatives.

Are your soaps suitable for sensitive skin?

Many customers with sensitive skin find our soaps gentle and soothing. However, everyone’s skin is unique. We cannot guarantee how your skin will react, but all soaps share the same mild base recipe — only the essential oils differ.

Do you test on animals?

Never. All products are cruelty‑free and tested only on me.

Are your soaps vegan?

Most bars are vegan-friendly. If a soap contains honey, milk, or other non‑vegan ingredients, it will be clearly labelled.

Do your soaps contain palm oil?

No. Truequest does not use palm oil in any products


USING & CARING FOR YOUR SOAP

How long does a bar of soap last?

Typically 3–5 weeks depending on use. Allowing your soap to dry fully between uses will extend its life. We suggest opening 2 soaps and alternating daily between them, allowing each bar to rest and dry fully between uses.

How should I store my soap?

Keep it on a draining soap dish away from standing water. Store unused bars in a cool, dry place.

Can I use your soaps on my face?

Yes — many customers do. If you have very sensitive facial skin, choose a gentle scent such as lavender or unscented.

Soap are for external use only - Avoid contact with your eyes - In case of contact, rinse thoroughly with water – Discontinue use if irritation occurs.
