Simplí is a Gaelic word for simple and straightforward. Cleansing and caring for our skin doesn’t have to be complicated. Simplí Artisan’s mission is to create basic, “good for you” handcrafted soaps and body products with natural, responsibly cultivated, high-quality ingredients used for centuries for their benefits. Plant-based and organic oils and butters, herbs, spices and clays. A variety of liquids are incorporated into soaps—such as wine, beer, aloe, ocean water, tea and coconut milk (among a lot of other options)—for what they bring to the final product such as creamy or bubbly lathers and vitamins.
Herb, root and spice infusions as well as clays are used for many product colorants, with mica powders occasionally used; these are finely ground minerals with cosmetic-grade colorants and pigments (Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act-approved as safe). Cosmetic-grade fragrance oils are also sometimes used, as some people want a scent with more longevity or request scents that are not found organically/in nature. Every fragrance oil is phthalate-free.
For many people the comparison between artisan and mass-produced products is a no-brainer: Simple & intentionally selected ingredients without parabens, phthalates, synthetic hardeners and chemicals just seem to make sense when it comes to our skin. At Simpli Artisan, only the finest plant-based butters and oils available are used (organic whenever possible) with a variety of skin-loving benefits: olive oil, coconut oil, castor oil, almond oil, shea butter, avocado oil, cocoa butter, mango butter, safflower oil, rice bran oil…just to name a few. Your skin will know the difference.
All products are handcrafted—using my tested recipes—incorporating the best-quality ingredients that feel good and smell good. Bottom line is that we all want our skin to feel amazing…simplí.
