You Have Questions
We have answers.
We make our soap the old-fashioned way — cold process, small batch, by hand in Hastings, Nebraska. That means no shortcuts, no factory soap pellets, no synthetic detergents or conditioners. Just certified organic oils and butters combining slowly with lye to create bars that retain their natural glycerin and deliver a genuinely luxurious lather. You'll feel the difference.
Many of our customers with sensitive skin love our bars because we skip the harsh chemicals and synthetic additives found in conventional soaps — no sulfates, no parabens, no phthalates, no detergents. That said, this bar contains Red Kaolin Clay and fragrance which may not suit every skin type. If you have specific sensitivities, check the ingredients list. For the most sensitivity-friendly option, try our Unscented bar. If you prefer a lighter scent experience, we offer softer scent options in our lineup. As always, if any irritation occurs discontinue use and consult a medical professional.
With daily use, expect 2–4 weeks from a single bar, dependent upon individual lather style and storage. To get the most out of it, let the bar dry between uses — a soap ladder or soap rest makes a big difference. A wet bar sitting in a puddle will dissolve faster than one that drains and dries properly.
Blackcherry Merlot is a medium-strong scent — bold enough to notice in the shower, subtle enough not to compete with your cologne or perfume. The fragrance lingers lightly on your skin after rinsing. If you prefer something softer, we have lighter scent options available in our lineup.
Think bold red wine with dark cherry notes and a warm, slightly sweet finish. It's rich and confident without being overly sweet or fruity.
Yes — all of our current bar soap formulas are 100% vegan. We use certified organic plant-based oils and butters exclusively. No animal fats, no goat's milk, no honey. Just plants.
We use nature's best — certified organic olive oil, organic coconut oil, organic shea butter, water, lye (which fully converts during the soap-making process and leaves no lye in the finished bar), and carefully selected botanicals. No sulfates. No parabens. No phthalates. No synthetic detergents or conditioners. Ever. Want to learn more about what goes into our bars? Visit our Ingredients page.
We process and ship orders within 3–4 business days. Most packages arrive within 1 week of the ship date. You'll receive a tracking number by email once your order is on its way.
This is my favorite Private Oaks soap so far…I’m trying them all. 🙂 Lovely, subtle cherry smell. Sweet and earthy.
I have issues with eczema, and am pleased that I have had no problems with these products. I love the Blackcherry Merlot.
