The details below cover our new releases of the Heywood Home Company antique-inspired Guest Soap.
Please find our current soap offerings in the Created Shop.
Be advised that soap bases do contain or have been produced in the same facilities where Coconut Oil and Palm Oil have been used. Our soap bases are Hypo-Allergenic, Non-Comedogenic, Contain No Sulfates (SLS or SLES), are Paraben Free and Soy Free, Non-GMO, Cruelty Free, Vegan, and Gluten Free. Please discontinue use if you have an adverse reaction after using any HHC soap products.
Soap Quirks
- Some soaps “sweat”. Over time, they may develop small beads of moisture on the surface of the soap. While this may feel or appear like something is wrong with the soap, it is simply the glycerin in the soap drawing the moisture out of the air and the moisture collecting on the surface.
- HHC uses a low sweat base to help mitigate this sweating issue. Please be advised that depending on the humidity of your environment though, you may still experience some of this soap sweat over time.
- If you decide to use your soap instead of just displaying, you can avoid slimy build up by using a soap dish with ridges that will allow all sides of the soap to dry out between uses.
- Be advised that packaging reflects the net weight of the product at the time of packing and does not account for the shrinkage that will happen the older a soap gets.
- Along with shrinkage over time note that your soap will also become less fragrant as it sits out. The fragrance oil used in the soaps is for topical use only and you should not expect a lingering perfume effect on the skin.
- Additionally, the added fragrance in each soap may contribute to the color darkening or browning over time. If this occurs, the soap is still safe to use.
- Please note that soap batches are tested for quality. You may see some slight coloring to the suds in some of the darker colored soaps, but this is normal and safe. If you have an adverse reaction, please discontinue use.
Production Details and Order Fulfillment
- Please note that your soaps are made to order. Depending on the quantity of pre-existing orders and the size of your own order, the time between order production, fulfillment, and shipping may vary.
- Most handmade orders are currently being shipped within Four(4) BUSINESS days. (This excludes weekends and public holidays.) This estimate will increase depending on the size of the order, too.
- As a one-person operation, candles and soaps orders are fulfilled as quickly as possible within the constraints that exist as a micro-business. Please keep this in mind when ordering from Heywood Home Company and be patient as your order is filled as quickly as possible.
When relevant, you may be able to pre-order items for new batch releases that would be available for immediate shipping. This will be indicated on individual product listings.
Shipping Notes
- Your soaps will be packaged in a box suitable for gifting and shipped in a box or padded envelope, depending on the size of your order. If you order additional soaps in other silhouettes they will be shipped together in a larger box. Depending on the size of your order, your order may be split into multiple packages. You will receive individual tracking information if your order is split.
- Please note if your order contains other items from the other HHC Shops, those items may ship separately in order to protect your soap from accidental damage; this depends on the type of other item(s) ordered. You will be notified if your order is shipping separately.
- Soap orders are not eligible for return. Please contact me at [email protected] if there are any issues or damage from shipping. Please see our site-wide FAQ details on what information HHC will ask for if making a damage claim.
Wholesale Inquiries
- Wholesale capabilities for our all of our soaps are now open. If you have a brick and mortar retail location and are interested in carrying soaps from our Antique-Inspired Guest Soap Line, please check out the Wholesale page for the application and more information.
