Handmade Hawaii-Inspired Soap by East Coast Tropics

Aloha Soaps
Aloha Soaps are hand-made from scratch using the "Oven Hot Process" method. The Oven Hot Process method allows for the soap mixture to "cook" gently, yet quickly, on low heat. Our soaps are vegetable-based, are not made from "Melt & Pour Glycerin bases" and do not include any animal fats. Aloha Hawaiian Soaps are less processed than commercial soaps, therefore gentler on your skin.

Every batch contains a blend of Coconut or Palm Kernel, Macadamia Nut, Kukui Nut, Palm, Olive and Castor oils. Other ingredients such as Coconut Milk, Cocoa Butter, Cocoa Powder, Papaya fruit, dried herbs and botanicals, exotic tropical fragrance oils and Cosmetic Grade color additives approved by the U.S. FDA are added to create a variety of Aloha Hawaiian Soaps.

To ensure mildness, our soaps are air-dried for 1-2 weeks before wrapping. Because each bar is hand-cut, no two bars are exactly alike. Each soap weighs between 3.2 and 3.5 ounces, but may slightly vary. Aloha Hawaiian Soaps are not mass produced but rather, made in small batches to insure that you get the very best and freshest product available.

Aloha Hawaiian Soaps are too colorful and pretty to be completed covered so they are only shrinkwrapped with a label. The ends of the soap are exposed in order for the soap to breath.

Please note that due to the handmade nature of the products, color tones and hues may vary slightly from batch to batch.

Color Additives used in East Coast Tropics products
Some Aloha Soaps are left uncolored with no color additives. For those Aloha Soaps where color additives are included, natural herbs and botanicals as well as cosmetic grade color additives are used to color Aloha Soaps.

We use certified FD&C & D&C (Cosmetic Grade) color additives approved by the U.S. FDA (Food & Drug Administration) for coloring cosmetics, toiletries and soap.

We do not use artists' pigments, candle dyes, fabric dyes, food coloring, pottery pigments or wax crayons to color Aloha Soaps.
