About French Creek Soap Company
French Creek handmade, cold process soaps are made with all-natural ingredients with unique recipes using plant based oils and butters to create soaps with creamy, decadent lather to deeply moisturize skin. We also love to use natural exfoliants in our soap, since exfoliation is the key to maintaining smooth and healthy skin. Removing oils and dead skin allows moisturizer to absorb easily. We formulate recipes by choosing oils, butters, botanicals, clays and essential oils to produce soap that is good for any type of skin. With no artificial or harsh ingredients, this traditional method of soap making assures a level of luxury for your skin that only handmade products can produce. We hope you love it!
Our cold-process soaps are cut and cured for a minimum of 4 weeks (salt bars 4 months) to ensure a hard, long lasting bar of super suds.

What is a Shampoo Bar and How to Use it
What is it?
Welcome to the party! A shampoo bar is a concentrated puck of shampoo that can way outlast your normal bottle, maybe 3! Treat yourself to fresh, cleansing ingredients for gorgeous hair, every time! We love them and hope you do to!
How do I use it?
With wet hair, gently rub the shampoo bar directly on your hair, it lathers pretty quickly! Gently lather your hair, scrubbing and massaging it into your hair, roots and scalp (the way you would normally wash your hair). Rinse clean!
WHYYY?
- Shampoo bars are plastic free - no bottles to throw away
- Long lasting
- Terrific for travel (we have travel tins too!)
- PH balanced
- pure ingredients like hemp seed butter, raikon seed oil, abyssinian oil
How to use a Salt Spa Bar
What is it?
Typically a bar of handmade soap made with a portion of the oil weight in salt ~ we use Pink Himalayan Sea Salt, Grey Sea Salt and Sea Salt. They have luxurious lather: some bubbles, but they quickly turn into a lotion-y lather which is silky, smooth and decadent. Lasting quite a long time in the shower, they can be exfoliating or not, depending on the salt used. We SUPERFAT our salt bars %20 percent which means some of the oils are left un-saponified, making for a moisturizing bar.
WHYYY?
They're called SPA Bars for a reason! Sea salt is purifying, drawing impurities and acting as an astringent. Especially good for acne, salt bars get into pores, killing bacteria and cleansing cells. Salt is an exfoliator can be helpful in removing dead skin cells and leave skin glowing.
