Frequently Asked Questions

Where are your soaps and salves made?

Every Green Forest Soap and Salve is handcrafted on the Esh family farm in Paradise, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, in the heart of Amish Country. We make our products in small batches using traditional methods and carefully selected natural ingredients.
 

What ingredients do you use in your soaps and salves?

Our soaps and salves are made with 100% natural ingredients, including plant-based oils, premium doTERRA® essential oils, beeswax, and herbs—many of which are grown right on our chemical-free family farm. We never use synthetic chemicals, artificial fragrances, or unnecessary preservatives.
 

Are your soaps suitable for sensitive skin?

Our soaps are crafted without harsh chemicals or artificial fragrances, making them a gentle choice for many people looking for a more natural cleansing experience. Because every person's skin is unique, we recommend reviewing the ingredient list and performing a patch test before first use if you have particularly sensitive skin.
 

What makes your salves different?

Our herbal salves are made using fresh, live herbs whenever possible, many of which are grown on our family farm. By harvesting and preparing our herbs ourselves, we're able to create small-batch salves with carefully selected natural ingredients and traditional craftsmanship.
 

Are your products made by an Amish family?

Yes. Green Forest Soaps & Salves is a family-owned Amish business located in Paradise, Pennsylvania. Since 2011, we've been dedicated to creating handcrafted soaps and herbal salves using natural ingredients and time-honored methods.
 

Do you have a physical store?

We do not have a retail storefront at this time. Our products can be purchased through our online store and shipped throughout the United States. If you're local to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, we also offer farm pickup by arrangement. You can also find a selection of our products in several local Lancaster County retailers.
 

Do you ship nationwide?

Yes! We proudly ship our handcrafted soaps and herbal salves throughout the United States, so you can enjoy Green Forest products no matter where you live.

Testimonials

Here's what our customers have to say:
"As a 64 year old active lady, I totally believe in Green Forest's Comfrey Sauve!! I almost bathe in it (lol). But seriously, I use it daily on my knees and other joints that may be hurting. It takes away my pain and I believe is keeping my knees nimble enough to play pickle ball. I'm buying the 8oz container today (and one for my sister who uses it on her hands when they cramp).
Thank you Green Forest Soaps & Salves!!"
— Helen Bailey
"After having my first daughter, I am finding myself outside much more often. I am also changing a LOT of diapers! I have found a few products at Green Forest that have really improved my day to day life in both areas. With outside come bugs, and I really hate seeing my baby get bit by bugs. We have a lot of mosquitos around our backyard. I also don't want to douse her with chemicals. I've been using the Bugs Away spray, and it has really been true to its name and kept the bugs away. I will even spray it on my hands and then wipe it on my baby's face without concern. The other product I've been using a lot is the diaper rash salve which works on regular rashes and other things too. If I'm changing her diaper and notice she's getting red, I put the diaper rash salve on and she's cleared up by her next change. Recently I found myself without the salve (it was in her diaper bag in the car) so I used another diaper cream I had on hand. At her next change I was disappointed to see she was still red if not redder. I will only stick to the diaper rash salve from now on. I also get eczema spots on my face, so when I see it is flaring up I just put some of the diaper rash balm on and it clears up soon after. All that to say, not only are their products really natural chemical free GMO free etc... but they really work too. I am excited to try more products from Green Forest Soaps & Salves soon."

"I use the hand soap and shower gel, it's good stuff! I can notice a big difference in my skin and hair. My hair is way more full body. I work in construction and get a lot of cuts on my hands and they seem to heal a lot quicker since I've been using the hand soap. Everyone should use this soap they won't be disappointed! The salves are awesome too I use them every day because I don't want dry skin. They keep my skin nice and moist. I'm a big believer in these products!"
— Darren Mowrer
"Very nice people. Fantastic Soap. You'll notice the feel, and fragrance immediately. Incomparable to anything you'll find from a corporate store.

River's doing well. God bless."
— Steffan B.
"I’ve used 1 of the salves and one hand & body soap and all are amazing products. I break out in very dry skin on my face occasionally. The rescue salve has worked extremely well in moistening even the driest areas of my face. I use it every day because it’s the only product I’ve found that works and doesn’t have any side effects. I am looking forward to trying the other salves Enus has to offer."
— Rodger Cerritelli
"One of the best soaps I’ve used in the kitchen. Strong enough to remove grease from my hands, but still light and easy to rinse. A nice local product with quality ingredients that does what it should."
— Cortney Johnson
"Awesome line of products. Love it that they are all natural and a lot of ingredients are grown right on their farm! My favorite is the tropical tanning oil, very soothing on your skin and helps to get a nice tan. The liquid hand soap is great to use too, especially after a hard days work."
— Brian Johnson
"I was dealing with a bite of some sort that created irritated, red, slightly itchy & a painful bump on my neck that was getting worse. I really didn’t want to go to the doctors and get on a steroid. I decided to try the Rescue Salve and I’m so glad that I did! I applied it once in the morning and once at night, and within hours, the irritation and swelling started to calm down noticeably.
By the second day, the redness had faded almost completely, and the area felt smooth and comfortable again. The formula is gentle, fragrance-free, and absorbed well without leaving a greasy film. It didn’t sting at all, even on my sensitive skin, which was a big relief."
— Jennifer Burns
"Products smell great and the hand soaps make your hands smooth!"
