HOW AOF ARTISAN OSTRICH OIL SOAP IS MADE ON THE FARM

AOF Artisan Ostrich Oil Soap starts with one ingredient: 100% pure American ostrich oil, made right here on our ranch in Kuna, Idaho. Every bar is handmade on the farm, blended over heat, hand cut, and cured for thirty full days before it ships. Here is exactly how we make it and why we do it this way.

In most cases it means doing less, not more.
