S & J Soaps sells handcrafted melt-and-pour soap bars made in small batches. Our products are cosmetics as defined by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. They are not drugs and are intended for external use only.
Because each bar is handcrafted in small batches, minor variations in color, scent intensity, and appearance are normal and expected. These variations are a hallmark of artisanal craftsmanship and do not constitute a defect.
