Hi Everyone!

What is consider a luxury soap? I've come across soaps that are referred to as "luxury." What's the difference between luxury and basic soaps?

I would consider fancy oils or butters luxury, but even a basic soap with good quality oils will make a "luxury" bar. Sometimes it's just a buzz word or creative advertising.

My "luxury" bars have more expensive and exotic oil and butters than my standard bars. Like jojoba oil.

A soap with common oils, but an expensive flourish - like REAL sandalwood oil - could be considered luxury as well.

My motto for my soap is "Affordable luxury at an everyday price." I call this a luxury bar. My customers are family so I don't care that this costs me more to make. I think it worth it.
