💬 A Few Questions We Love to Answer
We love curious minds — after all, that’s how every good batch of soap begins! 🧼
At Handcrafted 1345, we believe in being open about our process, our ingredients, and the care that goes into every bar. Whether you’re wondering what makes goat milk soap so special, if lye is safe, or how long to let your bar cure on your counter, you’ll find all the answers (and a few pro tips) below.
✨ Simple questions. Honest answers. All from our little soap studio to you.
please contact us if you have further questions
Frequently Asked Questions
🐐 What makes goat milk soap special?
Goat milk is naturally rich in vitamins A and D, minerals, and lactic acid, which helps gently exfoliate while moisturizing. The result? A creamy, soothing lather that nourishes dry or sensitive skin and leaves it feeling soft and balanced.
🌴 Do you use palm oil?
Yes — but only responsibly sourced palm oil from suppliers who meet strict sustainability standards. Palm oil gives our soap its firmness and creamy lather while supporting ethical, eco-friendly sourcing practices.
🧼 Can I use your soap on my face?
Absolutely! Our soaps are formulated to be gentle and moisturizing, suitable for both face and body. If you have extra-sensitive skin, start with one of our Bare & Simple (unscented) bars to see how your skin responds.
🎨 What do you use for color and scent?
We use cosmetic-grade colorants, phthalate- and paraben-free fragrance oils, and pure essential oils. Some soaps are left uncolored or unscented for those who prefer simplicity — all are carefully formulated to be skin-safe and balanced
🧪 Do your soaps contain lye?
Yes — all true soap is made with lye (sodium hydroxide). It’s the key ingredient that reacts with oils and milk in a process called saponification, turning them into real soap.
Once the reaction is complete, no lye remains. Every batch is pH tested and cured for at least six weeks to ensure a safe, gentle, and skin-loving bar.
🪵 Are your soaps handmade?
Every bar of Handcrafted 1345 soap is made by hand in small batches in Texas. Our home goods and accessories are either handmade or strategically sourced from artisan partners who share our standards for quality, comfort, and authenticity.
💧 How long do your soaps last?
With proper care, each bar lasts several weeks! Keep your soap on a well-drained dish and allow it to dry between uses — it helps extend its life and keeps that creamy lather going strong.
🎁 Do you take custom or bulk orders?
Yes! We love creating custom batches for events, gifts, or special occasions. Reach out through our contact form or email hello@WH1345.co to discuss fragrance options, packaging, and lead times
🛁 Soap Care Tips
Your soap will love a little care — and it’ll love you right back!
🧼 Let it Breathe
Keep your bar on a well-drained soap dish or tray that allows air to circulate. Sitting in standing water makes any handmade soap melt faster.
✂️ Cut for Longevity
For larger bars, slice them in half before use. Smaller pieces dry faster between uses, helping each bar last longer.
🌿 Keep It Dry Between Uses
Allow your soap to dry completely between showers or washes. A wooden or slotted soap saver helps it stay firm and last several weeks.
💼 Travel Friendly
Pop a partially used bar into a breathable bag or tin to take your favorite scent wherever you go. No liquids, no spills — just simple, solid goodness.
🧺 Storage
Keep unused bars in a cool, dry space away from direct sunlight. They actually get better with time — curing a little longer deepens their hardness and scent.
💛 Enjoy the Process
Handmade soap is alive with character — colors may vary slightly, and each bar is perfectly imperfect, just as it should be.
Decorative Biodegradeable Glitter
Sometimes we use cosmetic-grade biodegradable glitter for a subtle sparkle that’s completely skin-safe and environmentally friendly.
It’s designed to wash away naturally after the first couple of uses or can be rinsed off if preferred.

🏡 Non-Returnable Items

✨ Made with care. Backed with heart.
📦 FAQ: What if my order shows “Delivered” but I didn’t receive it?
Once a package has been marked “Delivered” by the carrier, ownership transfers to the customer.
If your order shows delivered but you can’t locate it:
- Double-check your address and any alternate delivery spots (porch, mailbox, parcel locker, neighbor, etc.).
- Allow 24 hours — sometimes USPS marks packages early.
- If it still hasn’t arrived after that time, please contact your local USPS office directly for assistance.
We’ll always do our best to help guide you through next steps, but we’re unable to replace or refund packages that are confirmed delivered by the carrier.
