FAQs

1. Is boerseep safe for skin?
   Many families use it for body and hand washing. For sensitive skin, test first and follow with a moisturiser.

2. Does it contain lye?
   The lye is fully consumed in the soap-making process, so the final bar is safe to use.

3. Can I use it in my washing machine?
   Yes—grate and dissolve in hot water before adding to the machine.

4. Does it have a fragrance?
   Traditional boerseep has a neutral, natural scent without added perfumes.

5. Will it work on grease stains?
   Yes—boerseep is widely known for its strong grease and stain-removal properties.

6. Does each bar look the same?
   No—because it is handmade, colour and shape may vary slightly, adding to its authenticity.
