appearance. Milk proteins smooth, firm and soften the skin.

smoother, reduces rough feeling, cracking and irritation.
Honey is cleansing, an antibacterial and has natural preservative
properties.
Honey also
acts as a natural humectants which helps your skin retain its
moisture, and leaves a micro
thin protective film on the skin.
Lye:
While we do
use lye (or sodium hydroxide) as a basis for our soaps, once the
chemical process, called "saponification" has taken place, the lye
is not there anymore. Can't have true Soap without it.
Neem Oil:
Used widely in
India as an antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antiseptic,
antiphrastic agent in toiletries, soap, toothpaste and skin/hair
care products. It is used to treat skin disorders such as
eczema, psoriasis ringworm, chicken pox, to name only a few.
Also can be used as a bug repellant, when used in pet soap will help
kill and repel fleas and to treat hot spots.
