Amore Soap has very square edges. How come it’s not smooth like other soap?
Our soap is hand-cut from a brick-shaped initial mold. We don’t use special shaped molds or trim our bars to reduce waste. Everything that comes out of the mold is used. Return
Where does your soap’s colour come from?
Pure Amore soap’s colour comes from the oils we use. It contains no added colour. The deep golden colour of the oil turns into a light cream as the transparent oil turns into opaque soap. Return
Why does your soap need to cure after you mix it?
The saponification reaction takes time. After mixing, the soap is the consistency of runny custard. After a day in the box mold, it’s hard enough to cut, but still hasn’t completely transformed into soap, and still contains residual water. It takes about a month for the soap to harden fully. If you use it before it has fully hardened, it will clean fairly well, but it will be soft enough that it will become mushy in the shower after a few uses. Return
Ingredients
Do you use any animal-based ingredients?
No. Amore Soap is made of plant-based oils, filtered water, and lye (sodium hydroxide). Return
Does your soap contain lye?
Yes and no. Lye is one of our ingredients (as in all soap), but it is completely consumed in the chemical reaction that converts oils into soap. Rest assured, no lye remains in the finished product. Return
How can you tell if soap contains animal fat?
If a soap label includes the ingredient “sodium tallowate”, it indicates that tallow was used in the soap-making process. This could be from beef, chicken, pork, or other animals, or it could possibly be vegetable tallow. Without contacting the company, it’s impossible to tell what fats the sodium tallowate came from. Return
Someone I know makes soap, and claims they don’t use lye, but you say all soap contains lye. Who is right?
You can buy “melt and pour” soap ingredients that have been pre-saponified. All you do is mix in your fragrances and additives and pour the soap into molds to cure. Whoever made the melt and pour kit used lye to saponify the fats or oils; the soapmaker does not need to use any more lye. Return
