Great question! In our opinion, the short answer is because it feels good, it's good for you, and it's kinder to the environment. Tres Spa soap is made in small batches that are carefully watched and tended to every step of the way. We pride ourselves in our select combination of natural plant based oils and natural additives we use to create an exceptional bar of soap for you. Since it is handcrafted all of the glycerin is still in the bar which acts like a natural lotion for the skin long after you wash with it. The scent is from the natural fragrance of the oils and enhanced with additional essential oils to create unique blends. Tres Spa soap is hand poured into handcrafted soap molds that create a truly uniquely shaped bar in the end. We use minimal packaging and the "cigar band" wrapper used to package your soap bar is made from 100% post consumer paper that is also made by hand and naturally dried. Tres Spa soap feels like silk on the skin and leaves the skin feeling soft and moist. The lather is thick and rich and rinses clean. The scents are subtle and very pleasant. If you have never tried a handcrafted bar of soap, now is your chance! Go ahead, once you do I am sure you will be hooked.

We use a combination of natural raw ingredients to create of bath, body, and soap products. The Tres Spa products are natural. While some of the ingredients may be certified organic or come from those who are following organic guidelines, Tres Spa products are not organic.

Yes, so if you leave your soap sitting in a pool of water, it will dissolve and disappear. If you leave your body butter in the sun or next to a heat source, it will melt away into a puddle. The bath salts and fizzy bombs will dissolve as soon as water touches them. All our products are made fresh from natural ingredients and in small batches so we recommend you use them in the first year of purchasing them as all things will disintegrate over time.

Fragrance oils are chemical creations that come from a lab. They are synthetic and do not occur naturally in a form usable for our bath products. Essential oils are extracted from plants. Sometimes using CO2 in a chemical extraction process, but usually through steam or cold pressing. Tres Spa uses 100% natural essential plant oils for their products. The scent is more subtle and tends not to overpower you. It also means that the scent will not last as long as a synthetic chemical and it will fade over time.
