The idea of “soap vs hand sanitizer” can best be summarized as “dirt remover vs germ killer”. That’s all there is to it. Soap lifts and attracts dirt so water can wash it away. Hand sanitizer uses a chemical or biochemical substance to kill germs. This is usually alcohol based.

Most of the shower gels are being manufactured in mass production using countless artificial ingredients and additives, which are everything but natural or considerate of the environment. Furthermore they usually leave a slimy layer behind on your skin. On the other hand you would never have to face this inconvenience with our soaps. The soaps are thoroughly cleansing your skin without drying it out as they possess hydrating properties.

Soap is a surfactant, meaning it has two parts that are attracted to each other. One part of the soap molecule is attracted to water and another part of the soap molecule is attracted to oils. This means that when you rub a bar of soap on your skin, it breaks up the dirt and grease on your skin so they can be washed away with water.

Cold process soap needs to age or "cure" for 4 to 6 weeks before it is finally ready to use. Like firewood, as the soap cures, most of the water used in the recipe evaporates out of it. Cured soap is harder.

Saponification is a chemical reaction that turns fat, or oils, into soap. It is the process of making soap from scratch using lye carefully measured and mixed with oil or fats. When you saponify something it means to turn it into soap through this chemical reaction. Soap manufacturing starts with the process of saponification in which a triglyceride is converted to soap and glycerin.

No, our soap does not contain lye. However, lye is used to make the soap. Soap is made using a chemical reaction, called saponification. It combines oil and lye to create soap and glycerin. If the process is carried out correctly, there is no lye left in the soap. What this means is that while all real soaps use lye in the creation process, there is no lye leftover in the finished product. That includes our coconut milk soaps too.

Glycerine is an organic output of true soap. Glycerin is a natural by-product of the saponification process. When oil reacts with alkaline, it forms soap and glycerol.

Glycerin is a humectant, meaning it attracts moisture. When applied to the skin through cosmetics, glycerin can cause a barrier on the skin that locks in existing moisture from washing, as well as drawing moisture from the atmosphere. This makes it one of the most widely used moisturising ingredients in the personal care sector. A high glycerin content is proven to leave a smooth skin feel and possess good moisturising properties. It is often used in products that are created to treat skin conditions such as psoriasis and dermatitis in medical applications because of its ability to draw moisture through the skin from within. Glycerin has been derived from vegetable sources, making many of our products suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

We all love coconut milk soaps. Why? They are highly hydrating every type of skin, especially recommended for sensitive and problematic skin types. Coconut Milk moisturizes, soothes your skin.Promotes health, reducing redness, improves skin elasticity and brings glow to your skin. Makes our beloved soap bars creamy to the touch.

Lather itself is a huge gathering of miniscule bubbles, so technically bubbles are still doing the work. But not BIG bubbles. Big bubbles are made from artificial chemical detergents.

Rancid soaps can sometimes smell funny, however if it does not bother you, there is nothing wrong with it. Soap cannot really go off or harm you in any way.

Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate (SLSa) is derived from coconut and palm oils and is classified as a sulfate-free, skin friendly surfactant for both skin and hair because of its large molecular structure. It is an excellent foaming agent which produces a creamy rich lather that effectively removes surface oil, dirt and bacteria, without stripping or drying sensitive skin. All our products are completely free of harmful SLS’s and Parabens.
