Real Awesome SOAP

Respect for the Chemistry 

We only use 100% Cold Process Saponification to make our Natural, Artisan SOAP. Gaia Body Works™ is not about cutting corners with synthetic detergents, sly marketing tactics or melt and pour methods. WE LOVE SCIENCE and would never disgrace the process or your skin health. 

We respect the natural chemistry of SOAP making. All SOAP are 100% Saponified

The cleansing action of many products can (and often) do more harm than good by exposing the skin to chemicals that trigger the inflammatory response while stripping the skin of its protective lipids and nutrients. Gaia Soaps are about minimizing inflammation in the skin by providing a gentle cleanse without drying the skin or stripping beneficial nutrients. Reducing inflammation in the skin is one of the best ways to prevent irritating skin conditions and skin deterioration (chronic skin inflammation damages collegen and elastin production that keeps skin supple, thick and flexible).

Powerful Nourishment

Its not just about keeping the bad sh** out, its also about putting the good stuff in. 

It's not enough to simply keep harsh chemicals out of skin care products. The skin is a metabolically active organ that requites proper nutrition to function and stay health (like any other organ in the body).

All Gaia SOAPS are made with:
