Gluten Free Just Plain and Just Plain Olive Soapcakes

Living with multiple food and environmental sensitivities can be challenging, a real game changer.  It can cost you a lot of extra money, as well as take a lot more of your valuable time.  And something as basic as finding an honestly safe bar of gluten free soap for your family can become rocket science.    

With all the complicated rules, regulations and loopholes regarding full disclosure ingredients listings, proprietary recipes, imported goods and the fact that most commercial products are made at such insane levels in mammoth factories all over the world, it is nearly impossible to ascertain just exactly what is and what is not in some of them.  And then there is the entire cross contamination issue.

That is why many sensitive people have stepped outside the box and begun purchasing their handcrafted bars of cold process gluten free soap and other simple cosmetics from trustworthy small and even more often, micro businesses.  The masses will always need mass produced goods.  But for the discriminating few, this new trend is a much more personal and satisfying way of doing business.

Our Just Plain Soapcake is a lovely unpretentious version of our regular gluten free soap varieties, but without the shea butter and the scent.  Just Plain produces mounds of pure creamy suds from only two saponified ingredients, certified organic virgin coconut oil and California estate grown extra virgin olive oil.  As always, saponification of the oils is achieved with distilled water and food grade lye.  Our Just Plain recipe doesn’t require anything else.

Our gluten free Just Plain Olive Soapcake is an even more unadorned one-ingredient bar of luxurious cold process soap.  100% extra virgin olive oil soap is a very old tradition and considered one of, if not the most skin-loving soaps there are.  Just Plain Olive…the name says it all.  And yes, it’s green.
