Why choose 100% natural soap?

Most commercial soap bars are actually synthetic detergents and it is these synthetics that more often then not cause skin irritations and complaints. Other commercial soaps are made from tallow (animal fat) and will contain synthetic colours and fragrances.
Our soaps contain only 100% natural ingredients; significantly reducing the likelihood of skin reactions whilst making you smell and feel fantastic.

Soap is an excellent cleanser because it acts as an emulsifying agent. Oil doesn't naturally mix with water but it attracts dirt. Soap suspends the oil/dirt by combining hydrocarbons and ions to form a negative charge. The soap particles then repel each other, suspending itself in water ready to be rinsed away.

Soapcakes are made through the centuries old, cold process method resulting in the production of glycerine which is an excellent moisturiser. Glycerine is often removed from commercial soap and sold as a separate product.
By keeping the glycerine in the soapcakes we are ensuring that your skin is moisturised every time you wash.

The cold method process of making soaps uses the method of combing fats or oils with with water and a strong alkali such as caustic soda (lye). Most commonly our soaps are made using vegetable oils such as olive, palm or coconut. These are less greasy than the animal fats used in commercial soap production.

The alkalis create a chemical reaction called saponification which results in the creation of glycerine and fatty acid salts ... also know as soap! As the oils begin to saponify, the essential oils, dried plant extracts & spices are added before the mixture is poured into insulated trays and left to set and mature.

The saponification process removes any trace of lye from the product leaving a natural and soft soap to be used in perfect harmony with the skin.
