No harsh detergents are used in Lora's all-natural, moisturizing soaps. Great choices for a child's skin are the super-fatted Cocoa Butter Soap or the very mild Calendula Soap.

I also found a good link to a list of ingredients you should never find in your body or hair care products and are never found in any Lora's Beauty product:

Technically not soap...

I'm guessing that what was dumped in the fountain wasn't technically soap, but detergent.

Pocket Washcloths Now Available

100% cotton washcloths contain a small opening to slip your favorite bar of Lora's Beauty soap in or the bits and pieces of bars not yet used up. Washcloths are a great way to exfoliate the skin, particularly the face. They remove dead skin cells and excess oil and are great in clearing up even the most stubborn acne. These washcloths are specially handmade for Lora's Beauty using a light weight cotton with a small loop to hang the washcloth to dry between uses. Machine washable.

Coming Soon To Lora's Beauty: Washcloths!

I've heard from a few people (ironically, all men) who find some of the herbs added to soaps too scratchy. Naturally my first reaction is to say "Man up. Get used to it, beauty hurts". I've never actually said this to them but I admit, I've thought it. Well, my mom has come up with a great idea and we are trying it out right now. Are you ready for it...it's washcloths!

She came up with the idea of creating a washcloth that had a pocket in it to slip a bar of soap in, or the multiple pieces of soap that you're always left with when you've used the majority of the bar. Now, I realize this probably isn't a new idea, however I'm envisioning the cloths I'll have her make will be of natural, organic cotton and have a string so one can hang them up to allow the bar to fully dry between uses. These will be machine washable as well.

Using washcloths are great for a person's skin and complexion. They are a great way to exfoliate the skin and remove excess oils.

Look for these pocket washcloths in the online store soon!
