Fragrance

Its all about the smells, and at Little Shop of Hours, we want to bring you a world of complex aroma using the safest, highest quality ingredients.


Depending on the intended scent, our soap either uses a fragrance oil, which is a blend of ingredients that create a specific scent, showing up in top, middle, and base notes. All Shay & Company fragrance oils do not contain industry standard materials known to be toxic or harmful. Shay & Company uses the following system to delineate their fragrance oil composition, and we have adopted their system whenever possible in our soap descriptions.

  • Soaps with a fragrance oil labeled “All Natural” are made with ingredients derived only from natural sources.

  • “Naturally Derived” means 51% or more of the ingredients used are from natural sources, and the other ingredients are synthetic.

  • “Less than 51% Naturally Derived” means that natural ingredients make up less than 51% of the fragrance. To read more about Shay & Company’s fragrance oil line, click here


Essential Oils are plant created oils that are either extracted by pressing or distillation. Our essential Oils are high quality, and sourced exclusively from Shay & Company. Read more about their essential oil procurement practices here.

Mica & Colorant

Little Shop of Hours uses a plethora of Mica and all natural colorants to showcase the artistic mastery of every soap bar.

We are currently researching and experimenting with a handful of colorants to find the most ethical, safe, and shelf stable solution for our brand.
