Disclaimer:
This soap is for cleansing.
Some ingredients might have reported benefits on their own, but how those hold up in soap (because of the saponification process) is unclear. We can't claim any effects beyond cleansing. As with any new product, we recommend patch testing this soap on a small area before full use and discontinue if any irritation occurs.
Properties of oils / materials used:
| Tallow | Provides excellent hardness to soap for long-lasting bars. Produces a creamy lather with good cleansing properties. Contains skin-friendly vitamins A, D, E, and K. Natural antioxidants help protect the skin. |
| Coconut | Creates a bubbly and effective cleansing lather. Adds firmness to soap bars for durability. Contains natural antioxidants to provide some skin protection. |
| Olive | Offers gentle cleansing with a soft and luxurious lather. High oleic acid content makes it superb for nourishing the skin. Rich in vitamin E, a potent antioxidant for skin protection. |
| Sunflower Oil (High Oleic) | Contributes to a creamy and stable lather in soap, enhancing its cleansing properties. Rich in oleic acid, sunflower oil helps nourish and soften the skin without feeling greasy. Contains antioxidants such as Vitamin E, which may help protect the skin from environmental stressors. These properties of high oleic sunflower oil make it a valuable addition to soap, offering cleansing, nourishing, and protective benefits for the skin. Even better - this Sunflower oil HO is produced here in New Zealand. |
| Hemp Seed Oil | Rich in essential fatty acids, including omega-3 and omega-6, which contribute to its nourishing properties. Contains antioxidants such as Vitamin E, which may help protect the skin. |
| Shea Butter | Provides deep nourishment and skin support. Adds creaminess and hardness to soap bars. Packed with vitamins A, E, and F, as well as antioxidants. |
| Castor | Attracts moisture to the skin, ensuring hydration. Enhances lather and bubbles for a satisfying wash. Contains vitamin E and essential fatty acids for some skin nourishment. |
| Citric acid | in your soap serves a dual purpose. It helps your soap perform well in hard water by preventing mineral build up, ensuring a rich lather. Additionally, it acts as a natural preservative, extending the soap's shelf life for a longer-lasting product you'll enjoy. |
| Sugar | Added to soap recipes to increase lather and bubbles. Acts as a natural humectant, attracting moisture to the skin. |
| Kawakawa | a native New Zealand plant, has held a special place in Maori culture for centuries. Maori people have traditionally used Kawakawa leaves in various ways, harnessing their unique properties for their well-being. The leaves were collected from our garden in the Kenepuru Sound. |
| Essential Oils | It's important to note that while essential oils have gained popularity for their natural origins, they can be potent and should be used with care. Essential oils may trigger allergies or skin sensitivities in some individuals, and their usage often requires dilution and proper knowledge. Which is why we’re very careful in our usage of them and often prefer to use Fragrance oils. We adhere to European safety regulations and never put more than 3% into our oils and usually use a mix of Essential oils to really be on the safe side here. As with our fragrance oils, we only buy from reputable sellers. |
