Where are your products made?

Our products are handcrafted in small batches in our studio in South Orange, New Jersey.

 

Are your products all natural?

We know how important it is for people to know exactly what they are purchasing.  We strive for transparency and easily identifiable ingredients in our products.  We are committed to cruelty-free, vegan and paraben-free products. 

Our Joyful line of products is made with natural oils, organic when possible, but we do use fragrances and mica for that added pop of color.

Our Mindful line of products is all natural, organic and only uses plant based colorants and organic essential oils. 

If you ever have questions about the origin of our ingredients feel free to drop us a note at heyyou@joyfulmindful.com

 

What ingredients do you use in your soap?

Our natural soap bars are made primarily from a combination of Olive Oil, Coconut Oil, Sustainable Palm Oil, Rice Bran Oil, Castor Oil and Shea Butter.  We find that these oils represent the best combination of nutrients and vitamins to keep your skin healthy and soft. Cold process soaps are created using lye which is naturally removed during the soap making (saponification) process. Our soaps may also contain natural exfoliants such as oatmeal, peppermint leaves, sea salt, and sand.  Our Mindful product line uses all natural essential oils for fragrance.  Our Joyful product line uses synthetic fragrances.

 

How long does your soap last? 

Our soaps last about three to four weeks under average daily use. This will vary between households due to the amount of lathering used and frequency of use, as well as water type (soft or hard water). The best way to extend the life of your soap is by allowing it to dry between uses in a soap dish and by storing in a place where it will dry out between uses.  

Are your essential oils therapeutic grade?

We offer 100% pure essential oils that contain absolutely no fillers, diluting oils, synthetic fragrances, or unnatural components of any kind.  All of our oils are created with the highest quality plants (usually certified organic). We source our essential oils from small batch producers and they are organic and wildcrafted when possible to ensure they are of the highest quality.
