Press Release Summary: RALEIGH, N.C., -- What do you get when you combine a chef and
a naturalist? No, it's not a trick question. The result is beautifully handcrafted
soap from Natural Handcrafted Soap, a Raleigh, N.C.-based company. "Making soap is a
lot like cooking," Nick, co-owner of Natural Handcrafted Soap, explains. "It
requires blending ingredients and getting just the right balance."


Press Release Body: Nick's partner, who hails from Brazil, was handed down recipes
from her grandmother that included natural ingredients from the rain forest for
soaps that really make a difference on one's skin.

"It was a natural relationship for us to come together to create these
wonderfully-natural soap products."

All soaps are handmade. "Some even include herbs from our personal garden," Nick adds.

These old-fashioned, handcrafted natural soaps are created in small batches using a
variety of natural oils, butters and botanicals from many of the world's regions
ranging from the rain forests of Brazil and the hills of Italy, to the Provencal
countryside of France and ancient Egypt.

The soaps are different from many others on the market in that they are "super
sudsy" and leave skin feeling velvety soft. This feature is attributed to the 100
percent natural essential and fragrance oils that are used.

Generally, commercial soaps found at a local grocery store, are filled with chemical
additives that not only dry out skin, but can lead to rashes and other irritations.
This, in part, is due to synthetic additives and the removal of glycerin.

When using natural soaps, people will enjoy moisturizing, healing benefits, and
exfoliating properties. This is made possible through the use of herbs, butters,
spices and natural botanicals. Each bar of natural soap is hand-cut and hand packed.

"We do it all," Nick says.

These natural soaps are crafted using natural herbs, spices and clays; they contain
no artificial ingredients. Ingredients include, but are not limited to: olive oil,
grape seed oil, mango butter, lavender oil, Egyptian geranium, cinnamon, and rose
clay. Naturally occurring glycerin is also present.

Approximately 40 different choices are available from an array of categories -
citrus fruits, plant and flower extract, from the tree, oatmeal, goat's milk and
buttermilk, espresso coffee, from the sea, clays, herbs and triple-milled French.
