Still calling that NEON COLORED liquid you found in the supermarket soap?
We did too.
Until we found out that detergent is a more accurate name, as close to none of them are actual soap.
Detergents vs real soap?
Compared to real soap, these detergents rely on synthetic cleansing agents instead of actual soap molecules, also known as SLS (Sodium Lauryl/Lauryl Sulfate). When blended with water, thickeners, preservatives and synthetic fragrances, they form the gelly liquid unfortunately known as "soap" today.
What goes on our skin and down the drain matters
We know what to put inside our products, but more importantly what not to put in. Conventional cleansing products may prioritize performance over skin and environmental health.
That is why we leave anything that does not benefit your skin or the planet away from our products.
Strange named ingredients we'll never use:
-
Palm oil
Large-scale palm oil production is a major driver of deforestation, destroying rainforests and habitats for endangered species.
-
Microplastics / Microbeads
These tiny plastic particles do not break down and can accumulate in oceans, wildlife and human bodies.
-
Silicones
Silicones are not biodegradable and can persist in the environment for decades.
-
Triclosan
Triclosan can disrupt hormones, contributes to antibiotic resistance and is harmful to aquatic life.
-
Oxybenzone and Octinoxate
These UV filters are associated with coral reef damage and marine ecosystem disruption.
-
SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate)
SLS can be harsh and irritating to skin and eyes, stripping away natural oils and weakening the skin barrier.
-
Parabens, sulfates and phthalates
These ingredients are linked to irritation or hormone-related concerns with repeated exposure.
-
Artificial fragrances and synthetic dyes
Often made from undisclosed chemical blends, they can trigger sensitivity while adding unnecessary pollution.
Soap the way it should be
Real soap goes through a process called saponification. This process is ideal for your skin because it is through this process that actual soap molecules and natural glycerin are formed. Soap molecules are effective cleansers, while glycerin helps maintain moisture and supports skin hydration.
To make sure our soap cleans without over-drying, we always leave some oils unsaponified to nourish and moisturize your skin. The cold-process method also allows oils to preserve more of their natural profile and fatty acids.
Some fatty acids found in our soap
-
Oleic acid from olive oil
Helps soften and condition the skin, supporting flexibility and comfort after cleansing.
-
Lauric acid from coconut oil
Provides effective cleansing by lifting away excess oil and impurities.
-
Stearic acid from shea butter and cocoa butter
Creates a creamy, cushiony feel that helps reduce moisture loss during washing.
-
Linoleic acid from shea butter
Supports the skin barrier and helps maintain hydration, especially for dry skin.
-
Linolenic acid from olive oil
Helps calm and soothe the skin, supporting a balanced skin feel.
-
Ricinoleic acid from castor oil
Adds moisturizing properties and contributes to a rich, creamy lather.
