About JACQ's Products

Where are JACQ's products made?

Jacq's was created out of our home in our kitchen. We've expanded and grown since we started formulating and hand-crafting our products to our studio in Dania Beach, FL. All of our products are handmade with organic and natural ingredients in small batches to ensure quality.

Is JACQ's tested on animals?

Ummm..heck no! We are certified cruelty-free, PETA approved and proud of it. We don't believe in testing on animals.

Is JACQ's certified organic?

Yes and no. 

Most of our products are 100% organic, but some only “contain organic ingredients.” Please know that we are meticulous and mindful about our ingredients and selection process but not all ingredients grow organically. For example, our Healing Face Cleanser is a liquid castile soap, which contains approximately 80% organic content. Soap contains an alkali as saponifying agent (in this case, potassium hydroxide). A reaction occurs between the oils and the potassium hydroxide resulting in a new substance - liquid soap. Even though none of the potassium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide remains, the organic content of the final product is 80%.

Is JACQ's products 100% vegan?

Yes, we take our certification with PETA very seriously and love our animals, which is why we've made a strong commitment to be cruelty-free. 

The product I purchased is a little darker or lighter than my last batch or bottle, is this normal?

Natural products can vary in scent, color, and to some extent, texture. This is what makes the natural products unique and special. As natural ingredients are crop-based, there are many [natural] factors that can affect the look of a product based on the growing season, the time of year the ingredient was harvested or processed. Products can get darker over time, and the oils may separate – just simply shake to mix. Essential oils are volatile, so this means the oils will evaporate as they release their scent,  and you may also notice a slight change in the blend. This is quite normal.

How long is the shelf life of a handmade soap?

Jacq’s uses only the highest quality natural and organic ingredients in our formulations. We do not use chemical preservatives. Most of our products are made exclusively with naturally stable oils and butters that have a shelf life of a year or longer. We can not guarantee freshness and effectiveness of any products kept after the recommended 8-12 months. All ingredients are made using high quality all natural ingredients and tested, but the shelf life of our products are subject to many factors, including heat, exposure to air, dirt, and handling.

We recommended storing our products in a cool location away from direct sunlight to maintain freshness and effectiveness. Avoid contamination – always use clean, dry hands or a small spoon, especially when touching product in an open container. 

Do I need to do anything different with my new soap?

Our hand-crafted soaps are made using all natural ingredients and are sensitive to extremes in heat. Each soap bar will need to dry out between uses to extend the life of the soap, we suggest using a soap dish with raised teeth to help it dry between uses.

How long does it take for the JACQ's products to work?

Everyone's skin is different.Typically, a skin cycle is 5-6 weeks, please allow your skin time to detoxify during this time and for best resultsplease increase your water intake and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables.
