The Following Are Our Base Ingredients Which We Use To Produce Almost Every Bar Of Soap. We Don’t Choose Our Soap’s Ingredients Only For The Physical Properties They Lend To The Soap. We Want Each Oil To Function Also As A Skin-Care Product. For This Reason, We Use A Higher Proportion Of Coconut Oil, Olive Oil, Castor Oil And Sesame Oil In Our Soap And Accept Its More Temperamental Nature.

All Ingredients Are Natural And Best Of Quality :
Coconut Oil
Coconut Oil Is A Gift. I Cannot Say Enough About This Oil. It Offers All Soapmaking Blends The Missing Link. Without Its Wonderful Lathering Quality, Any Formula Is Lacking. More Than Any Other Fat Or Oil, It Is An Anomaly. A Percentage Of Coconut Oil In Cosmetics Is Moisturizing. Too Much Of It Can Be Drying. Its Saturated Nature Resists Rancidity And Makes A Very Hard Soap, Yet Its Low Molecular Weight Allows For High Solubility And A Quick, Fluffy Lather, Even In Cold Seawater...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Olive Oil
Olive Oil Is A Very Good Moisturizer, Not Because It Has Its Own Healing Properties, But Because It Attracts External Moisture, Holds The Moisture Close To The Skin, And Forms A Breathable Film To Prevent Loss Of Internal Moisture. Unlike So Many Other Substances Used For This Purpose, Olive Oil Does Not Block The Natural Functions Of The Skin While Performing Its Own. The Skin Is Able To Continue Sweating, Releasing Sebum, And Shedding Dead Skin. Olive Oil, Jojoba Oil, Shea Butter, Kukui Nut Oil, And Some Other Natural Materials Do Not Inhibit These Necessary Functions...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Sustainable Palm Oil
Palm Oil Is Wonderful, However, Within A Mixture Of Other Oils. When It Is Used In Combination With Olive And Coconut Oils, It Produces A Very Nice Soap. Though Coconut Oil Produces A Fluffy, Quick Lather And Makes A Hard Bar Of Soap, We Must Limit Its Percentage Within A Formula To Avoid A Drying Effect On Skin. This Is Where Palm Oil Is Useful. It, Too, Makes A Hard Bar Of Soap, And, Since It Is Less Soluble In Water, Its Firmness Holds Up Throughout Use. It Also Cleans Well, Saponifies Easily, And Is Mild. Palm Oil Is The Animal Rights Advocates’ Substitute For Tallow. My Favorite Soaps All Include Some Significant Portion Of Palm Oil, Because It Produces Hard Bars And Speeds Up The Soapmaking Process. Palm Oil Pulls The Other Soapmaking Oils Into A Quicker Saponification...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Castor Oil
Like Olive Oil And Jojoba Oil, Castor Oil Acts As A Humectants By Attracting And Retaining Moisture To The Skin. This Moisturizing Quality Makes Castor Oil Well Suited For Shampoo Bars And Skin-Care Products...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Sesame Oil
Though New To Me As A Soapmaking Oil, There Is Nothing New About Sesame Oil, Which Has Been Used For Thousands Of Years. I Have Always Used Sesame Oil In Wok Cooking, But Only Recently Have I Made Soap With It. Sesame Oil, Like Avocado Oil And Shea Butter, Contains A High Percentage Of Unsaponifiables (Those Parts Of Fats And Oils That Do Not React With Sodium Hydroxide To Form Soap And Remain In The Final Bars As Conditioning Plant Nutrients). Sesame Oil Is Used In Creams And Soaps For Its Moisturizing Qualities, And Though Some People Find That It Is More Vulnerable To Rancidity Than Other Soapmaking Oils, None Of Mine Has Ever Spoiled. This Might Support Some Theories That Three Of Its Unsaponifiable Substances — Sesamoline, Sesamine, And Sesamol — Have Antioxidant Properties That Resist Rancidity. Odor Completely.Rice Bran Oil Is Used From The Husk Of Rice Plants. This Oil Is Good For Skin As It Contains High Percentage Of Unsaturated Fat. Like Jojoba Oil, It Also Act As An Humectants And Keep The Moisture On The Skin Intact.

Sunflower Oil
It Is Obtained From The Seeds Of Large Sunflowers And Known To Be A Moisturizing Vegetable Oil. It Lays Down A Slightly Oily Protective Layer On The Skin That Holds In Moisture. Sunflower Oil Contains Tocopherols (Vitamin E) — Natural Antioxidants That Resist Rancidity...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Jojoba Oil
Jojoba Oil Is Rich In Vitamin B, E And C. It Has Anti-Inflammatory And Anti-Oxidant Properties. It Absorbs Easily On Skin And Useful For All Skin Types – From Dry Mature Skin To Oil Acne-Prone Skin. We Also Use This Oil In Our Hair Soap As It Is Also Great For Dry, Damaged And Over-Processed Hair, Scalp Repair, Dandruff, Hair Lose, Cradle Cap, Controls Frizz...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Avocado Oil
Avocado Oil Is Obtained From The Pulp Of The Avocado Pear And Is One Of The Most Active And Effective Ingredients Used By The Cosmetic Industry. Because It Has An Extraordinarily High Percentage Of Unsaponifiables (The Portion Of The Oil Which Does Not React To Form Soap, But Rather Retains Its Original Makeup), Avocado Oil Is Highly Therapeutic. It Contains Protein, Amino Acids, And Relatively Large Amounts Of Vitamins A, D, And E, Making This Oil Very Much Alive. These Components Are Not Only Moisturizing, But Also Healing. They Enable Avocado Oil To Regenerate Cells, Soften Body Tissue, And Heal Scaly Skin And Scalp...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Palm Kernel Oil
Palm Kernel Oil And American Palm Kernel Oils Contain Large Proportions Of Lauric Acid. This Fatty Acid Is Unusual Because It Combines Two Mismatched Characteristics: Saturation And Low Molecular Weight. These Traits Enable Palm Kernel Oil, Babassu Oil, And Coconut Oil To Produce Hard Soaps That Also Lather Well In All Kinds Of Water. Normally, A Saturated Fat Produces A Hard Soap With Weak Lathering Ability, But These Oils Also Have Low Molecular Weights, Which Produce Soluble Soaps With Easy, Quick Lather. Thus, Oils With A High Percentage Of Lauric Acid Link Together The Very Best Of Soapmaking Characteristics...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Neem Oil
The Leaves And The Bark Of The Neem Tree Are Used To Treat A Variety Of Skin Disorders. The Oil Has Antiseptic Properties And Is Used To Treat Dandruff, Oily Skin, And Skin Diseases Such As Scabies; It Is Also An Ingredient In Mosquito Repellents...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Calendula Oil
Calendula, Also Known As Pot Marigold, Is An Herb Whose Blossoms Yield Calendula Oil, Known For Its Skincare Properties. For Therapeutic Benefits, Be Sure To Use Only The Pure Oil Extracted Without Solvents. Calendula Oil’s Regenerative And Anti-Inflammatory Properties Are Known To Successfully Heal A Variety Of Types Of Skin Damage. The Oil Promotes The Healing Of Wounds, Burns, And Tissue, And Softens And Soothes Dry, Chapped Skin...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Soybean Oil (Vegetable Shortening)
Soybean Oil Is The Primary Ingredient In Vegetable Shortening. It Is Extracted From The Seeds Both By Pressing And Solvent Extraction. It Contains High Percentages Of Linoleic And Oleic Acids, Yielding A Fairly Soft Soap, Even In The Hydrogenated State. Vegetable Shortening Is Often Chosen As A Non-Animal Alternative To Tallow Or Lard, And Weuse It As A Minority Oil In Combination With Oils Which Offer Better Skincare Properties. Since It Is Easy To Find And Relatively Inexpensive, Vegetable Shortening Is Used To Contribute Bulk, Mildness, And A Stable Lather. ...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Shea Butter
Shea Butter, Also Known As African Karite Butter, Is Expressed From The Pits Of The Fruit Of The African Butter Tree Which Grows In Central Africa. This Butter Has Been Used For Foot And Body Care. It Is Remarkably High In Unsaponifiables, Up To 11 Percent, Making It A Superior Superfatting Material For Soapmaking. Unsaponifiables Are Those Components Within The Fat Or Oil Which Do Not Decompose And Combine With The Sodium Hydroxide To Form Soap, Thus Remaining In Their Original State Within The Bars, Able To Moisturize And Nourish The Skin...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Vegetable Glycerine
Although Glycerine Is Naturally Produced During The Saponification Process In Our Soaps. However, Sometimes We Do Add Extra Glycerine In Our Soap Formulations. Glycerine Is Very Good Skin As It Holds Up The Moisture On The Skin And Prevent It From Drying...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Exfoliates
To Give A Scrubbing Effect To Our Soap, So That They Can Remove The Dead Skin Cells From Your Body Every Time You Take A Bath With Our Soap, We Add Various Exfoliates / Botanical Extract To Our Soaps. For Instance, Oatmeal Is A Great Exfoliator For Skin. Apart From It, We Also Use Corn Meal, Grounded Almond Etc As An Exfoliate In Our Soap Bars...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
