What is your shipping and handling policy?

Blue Spring Run Farm uses the United States Postal Service and UPS for shipping orders. Shipping is based upon retail orders but does not accommodate bulk orders.

Shipping is figured using standard USPS pricing and includes the cost of shipping materials.

In-house processing is estimated to take two business days. In addition, please note that due to the sensitive nature of our products, orders are usually shipped on Monday and Tuesday to reduce the chances that they will be detained in warm warehouses while waiting for delivery.

Why aren't all your soaps the same price?

Our cold process soaps are approximately 5.5-6.5 ounces making them larger than our average soaps meaning with proper care it will last longer and provide you with more uses than our average soap.

Also, we care over a half dozen different types of soaps made up of different ingredients. Certain ingredients make certain soaps cost more to be created.

What is the proper way to care for soap?

Handmade soaps should be stored away from water exposure to prevent them from melting. Best practice is to store it in a soap dish that allows air to move under the bar for quick drying.

Handmade soap will last longer when used on a wash cloth or bath pouf and not directly on skin.

Unused bars should be stored in a dry place away from direct sunlight.

How is your cold process soap made?

Our handcrafted, artisan soap, in addition to all our products, is created on site. It is formed by mixing together ingredients including oils, fats, milk or water, and lye in a process called saponification. At the end of this process preservative free soap is formed.

It may seem hard to believe, but most ingredients found in soap can be found in your kitchen as well. The oils, milks, and fats used in our soaps are the same that you would often use when cooking, and most of our botanicals would be found in herbs and teas. Combining these common ingredients with essential oils and fragrances results in the beautiful and beneficial soaps we offer both online and in our store.
