Only the finest quality vegetable oils are used to create our all natural soaps. Our base formula is composed of a high percentage of pure olive oil due to it's mildness and excellent skin conditioning properties. Palm and coconut oils are also used in order to create a long lasting bar with a rich, voluminous lather.
We "superfat" our soap so that it is extra gentle and moisturizing. This means that there is a little extra skin conditioning oil contained in each bar. Special emollients such as jojoba, sweet almond, and avocado oils, as well as unrefined cocoa and raw shea butters are infused into many of our soaps for this purpose.
Nothing is as nice for your skin as our natural soap. Once you've tried it, you'll never want anything else.
True natural soap is better for you. It gently cleanses without drying your skin. Most people don't have dry skin, eczema or dermatitus, they just use too many harsh cleansers whose toxic ingredients cause allergic reactions and over-strip the skin's natural protective oils.
Most "soaps" are not soap, but detergent. Detergents are made from petroleum products and consist mainly of surfactants, foaming agents, and alcohols. Detergent bars also typically contain toxic synthetic fragrances, carcinogenic coal tar derivative dyes, animal fat, and synthetic preservatives.
Many detergents contain potentially harmful chemicals. These chemicals are absorbed into your skin and are washed into our waterways.
True soap is made with natural products (fat and alkali) and require very little energy in the production process. It is possible to make without having leftover by-products that tend to go to the landfill, and the soap that flows down the drain while washing is bio-degradable.
True soap begins biodegrading within hours. Detergents take centuries to break down!
True soaps retain the natural glycerin, instead of removing it and selling it for profit, as mass producers generally do. Glycerin acts as a humectant for your skin and adds emollient qualities to the soap.
