Frequently Asked Questions
Handmade Soap
Story by RM creates premium handcrafted body care designed around exceptional ingredients, memorable scents, and meaningful impact. Every purchase helps create opportunities for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities through our participation-based model, proving that everyday products can make an extraordinary difference.
Handmade soap is crafted in small batches using nourishing oils and traditional soapmaking methods rather than mass production. The result is a richer, longer-lasting bar that gently cleanses while helping your skin retain moisture.
Cold-process soap is made at lower temperatures, allowing natural oils and glycerin to remain in the finished bar. This creates a luxurious lather, longer-lasting soap, and a moisturizing cleanse that many people prefer over commercial soaps.
Many people choose handmade soap because it contains high-quality oils, retains naturally occurring glycerin, and is carefully crafted in small batches. Commercial soaps are often formulated for mass production, while handmade soaps prioritize skin feel, craftsmanship, and ingredient quality.
When allowed to dry between uses, a quality handmade soap bar can last several weeks. Using a well-draining soap dish helps extend the life of the bar by preventing excess moisture.
Handmade soap is produced in smaller batches using premium ingredients and a time-intensive curing process. Rather than mass manufacturing, each bar is carefully crafted to provide a luxurious skincare experience.
Goat Milk Lotion
Goat milk lotion helps moisturize and soften the skin while delivering vitamins and nourishing fats that support a healthy skin barrier. Its lightweight feel makes it ideal for everyday hydration.
Yes. Goat milk lotion provides lasting hydration without feeling greasy. The rich blend of moisturizing ingredients helps replenish dry skin and leaves it feeling soft and smooth.
Goat milk lotion is valued for its naturally moisturizing properties and luxurious texture. Many people appreciate how quickly it absorbs while leaving skin feeling hydrated and comfortable.
Absolutely. Daily moisturizing helps maintain healthy-looking skin, especially in dry climates or during seasonal changes.
Ingredients
Both serve different purposes. Essential oils are naturally derived from plants, while fragrance oils allow for more complex and longer-lasting scent experiences. Story by RM selects each based on the desired fragrance profile and skin-safe performance.
Glycerin is a natural humectant created during the soapmaking process. It attracts moisture to the skin, helping it feel softer and more hydrated after cleansing.
Plant-based oils help moisturize, soften, and condition the skin. Ingredients like olive oil, coconut oil, and shea butter provide rich hydration and contribute to a luxurious skincare experience.
Story by RM products are made with thoughtfully selected oils, butters, botanicals, and skin-nourishing ingredients chosen for both performance and experience. Every formula is designed to deliver luxurious results while remaining gentle enough for everyday use.
Luxury Body Care
Silk Soufflé is Story by RM's rich body moisturizer designed to deeply hydrate dry skin while leaving it soft, smooth, and lightly fragranced.
A simple daily routine includes cleansing with handmade soap or body wash, moisturizing with goat milk lotion, and adding body oil or Silk Soufflé whenever extra hydration is desired.
