Natural handmade soap prefers to avoid getting soggy or sitting in water. Make sure your soap gets time to breathe in between washes and uses. Store in a cool, dry place with ventilation. To help prolong the life of your bar, use a soap dish with ridges that prevent water from building up under your soap.

My soaps are free from preservatives, and I use oils with a shelf life. I recommend using your soap within six months of purchase. After six months, your soap will still be effective, but you might notice the scent fading.

All of my products are handmade in small batches. I try to duplicate each batch, but that's hard to do, so there might be slight variations.

After hand cutting, each bar of soap is around 4.5 oz. Each bar measures 2.5 inches (H) x 3.5 inches (W) x 1 inch (D). Each bar comes wrapped in a cigar band made from acid-free & recyclable natural vellum. Please reach out if you have any concerns about a purchase or questions!

At Pine Manor Naturals, I prioritize the well-being of my customers, especially those who are expecting. While my natural skincare products are crafted with the finest ingredients, including essential oils, for their delightful scents and therapeutic properties, I want to draw special attention to essential oil safety during pregnancy.

Caution During Pregnancy:

Pregnancy is a unique and sensitive time, and certain essential oils may have effects that are not fully understood in the context of pregnancy. It is always advisable for pregnant women to consult with their healthcare professionals before introducing new skincare products into their routine.

The landscape of information surrounding the use of essential oils during pregnancy is often perplexing, unclear, and occasionally inaccurate.

The safety of essential oils involves several critical factors:

1. Type and Composition: Essential oils exhibit significant variations in strength and composition.
2. Quality Matters: Many lower-cost essential oils may lack purity, potentially containing synthetic additives.
3. Dosing Considerations: Clinical research often focuses on internal, large-scale doses—an impractical scenario for pregnancy testing.
4. Application Method: The concentration of essential oils absorbed through inhalation or massage is notably lower compared to ingestion. Aromatherapy and massage therapy, however, involve higher concentrations than those found in everyday products like soaps.

Our Approach:

My scented soaps and natural products, subtly fragranced with essential oils, are designed with your choice and health in mind. Particularly during the first trimester, when it matters most, the decision rests between you and your healthcare professional.

I do offer "no added scent" versions to provide alternatives tailored to your needs.

Prioritize Consultation:

When in doubt about the safety of a product containing essential oils, I strongly recommend consulting your doctor, midwife, or healthcare professional, especially when a growing baby is in the picture.

Diverse Perspectives:

Considering safety during pregnancy, massage therapists and aromatherapists often opt for caution, suggesting the avoidance of specific essential oils. There's a divergence of opinions among Herbalists and Aromatherapists, with some endorsing the safety of certain oils during pregnancy while others advocate complete avoidance.

Complex Nature of Essential Oils:

Certain oils typically considered safe may exhibit hormone-like effects or stimulate uterine muscles, making them contraindicated during pregnancy. I refrain from providing a definitive list of safe essential oils during pregnancy due to the contradictory nature of available information, which also evolves over time.

Your Responsibility:

Given the constantly changing and contradictory information, I encourage you to research and seek guidance from your healthcare provider for the latest, most accurate information. Please refrain from asking me directly about the safety of my products during pregnancy; instead, refer to this page for comprehensive information.

Your well-being is paramount, and I appreciate your diligence in ensuring a safe and informed skincare experience.

Your Health Comes First:

Every pregnancy is unique, and individual responses to essential oils may vary. If you are uncertain about a particular ingredient or product, I strongly advise seeking guidance from your healthcare provider. They can provide personalized advice based on your medical history and current health.

Sensitive Skin Areas:

Pregnant women may experience heightened skin sensitivity. Therefore, it's advisable to perform a patch test before widespread use of any essential oil-containing products.

Discontinue Use if Any Adverse Reactions Occur:

Should you experience any adverse reactions, such as irritation or discomfort, discontinue use immediately and consult your healthcare professional.

Our Commitment to You:

Transparency and customer safety are my top priorities. If you have any questions regarding my products, please don't hesitate to reach out to me. I'm here to provide the information you need to make informed choices about your skincare routine.

Due to the overwhelming demand for my products, I have found that they are selling out more quickly than anticipated. While I am incredibly grateful for this level of support, I also recognize the frustration that can come with not being able to secure your desired items.

To ensure that as many customers as possible have the opportunity to purchase my products, I have decided to implement order limits. This means that each customer will be restricted to purchasing a certain quantity of each product during each transaction.

I understand that this may be inconvenient for some of you, but please know that my intention is to create a fair and equitable shopping experience for all of my customers. By implementing these limits, I hope to reduce the occurrence of products selling out too quickly and give more people the chance to enjoy my natural products.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support!
