Life happens in the kitchen. I have been creating handmade soaps since 2015.
I learned with my grandmother about cooking, foraging, making home remedy's, infusions and the garden.
The old-fashioned skills of our ancestors often hold the key to a more grounded, fulfilling life.
What is natural soap:
made with olive oil and high-quality vegetable fats is one of the safest products that exist to wash, care for and nourish human skin. It contains no chemicals harmful to the skin or the environment, nor preservatives and it is biodegradable. It is also not harsh on the skin, leaving it very hydrated and balanced. It is recommended for babies and for people with skin problems or sensitive skin.
Soap is a salt (chemical definition). It is a transformed product that results from a chemical process called saponification. Soap is created by combining a fatty acid (olive oil and other oils and butters) with a sodium hydroxide plus water or infusion. At the end of this process, we have a completely new product – soap!
Sodium hydroxide is essential to form glycerin that helps to give the soap its appearance.
The quality of the soap depends on the care taken in the formulation, the completeness of saponification, and the curing process, which lasts at least 30 days. Once cured, this product contains, chemically, 1 molecule of glycerin and 3 molecules of soap, and therefore zero parts of sodium hydroxide, which has been neutralized during the process.
Our natural soaps are made with a high percentage of extra virgin olive oil along with coconut oil and other oils and butters such as, cocoa butter, shea butter, h**p oil, sweet almond oil, argan oil, sesame oil. To enhance medicinal properties, herbs, flowers, seeds, clays and essential oils are added.
Our soap is a natural product free from:
• harmful chemicals for both health and the environment
• the use of animals or ingredients of animal origin
• petroleum
• synthetic dyes and fragrances
