Okay, this is the sales pitch part, but since you asked – 

There are lots of things that make our products great.

We’ve been selling our products since 2011 through our website, mail order, farmers’ market, wholesale and at our own retail shop. We have hundreds of loyal customers.We make these beautiful products by using traditional methods and natural derived ingredients.

Bathe to Basics’ creations are “Made in Hong Kong” using the highest quality standards. We do not use harsh preservatives or colorant dyes, so the colors of our products reflect the ingredients used to create them. Nothing but the best for them.

Our scents are strong and true to their name. We pride ourselves on scents that are made with essential oil instead of fragrances which are artificial and would cause skin irritation.

Bathe to Basics have been designed to be mild and gentle enough for everyone to use, including people with allergies, sensitive skin and skin conditions. We also have a special formulated Basic Cream Bar series which are unscented, specifically for people with sensitivity to essential oil or those who just don’t like scents in their soap bars. So what are you still doing here, reading this stuff? Start looking at our products and try some of our them!

All of our products are "Vegetarian Friendly". They are made with vegetable oils and butters such as Olive Oil, Coconut Oil and Shea Butter. We never use animal fats such as lard or tallow and any animal derived ingredients.

We never test on animals. Our products are tested by us and our very willing family and friends.

Typically, the shelf life for all new products that are unopened is one years. After opening, we recommend that customers finish using the product within 6 months. If the product has become discoloured, it is not advisable to continue using it. You will also notice that there is an 'Open Jar' symbol on the labels of most of our products. The symbol looks like an opened lid with a number and the letter "M" on it. The number symbol indicates the number of months after the product has first been opened by the consumer that it will remain in a suitable condition for use. This is often referred to as the "period after opening". We have included this symbol on labels to act as a reminder to consumers that cosmetic products should not continue to be used for excessively long periods, once they have been opened and used.

Though we are using essential oils in our scented products, the concentration is very low and thus safe for pregnant and breastfeeding women. 

However we do not recommend undiluted topical application of essential oil during pregnancy or for babies. You should consult with your licensed aromatherapist or family doctor if you want to do so. 

Lastly, please note our soaps are not tear-free, and will irritate the eyes. Please be sure to avoid getting soap in your or your child’s eyes.

If you’ve experienced problems with other products, we recommend that you start with our unscented Basic Cream Bar series and test yourself. Select the moisture level you need, and do a test. If you are pleased with our unscented soap, but really want to have a scented soap, then can try other soaps that with a natural essential oil. You’ll have to be the judge on what is best for you. However, be reminded that our Basic Cream Bar series will still have the natural smell of soap!
