All our soaps are great for your skin…..
Our Soaps contain Oils of Coconut, Olive, Castor, Rice Bran and Tallow, then adding Shea Butter and Cocoa Butter to all, then with our Deluxe Skin Care rage we also add wonderful ingredients to the soap such as Mango seed butter, Argan Oil, Abyssinian Oil, JoJoba, Dead Sea Mud, Sandalwood Powder and Aloe Vera to the finished soap as well.
What do these oils bring to your skin and why does a truly handmade soap make such a difference?
Firstly, I would have to say we use only the best, high quality ingredients, our soaps are made to a recipe not a price, our time and effort goes into making the best soap, with no harsh chemicals or detergents and definitely no compromises. And importantly our soaps contain glycerin – a natural by-product of soap making that most commercial manufacturers remove in order to sell it back to you in more expensive moisturiser products.
Many of our customers are telling us that their skin looks and feels so much better, and that our soaps have made a real difference. Let’s face it when your skin is irritated, cracked, dry or inflamed it affects your whole well-being.
About the Oils & Butters
Shea Butter: Is a luxurious butter made from the African Shea tree. It has been used for centuries in Africa because of its moisturising and healing properties, because it can protect and condition skin that has been damaged. Interestingly, Shea butter has a high amount of what’s known as un-saponifiable compounds, more of the buttery, nourishing and moisture rich Shea is delivered to the skin when used as a soap in comparison to other oils used for soap making.
Cocoa Butter: Prevents skin dryness and peeling. Cocoa butter makes an excellent skin moisturizer, plus it does more than just hydrate the skin — it helps heal it. Being a saturated fat it is especially beneficial for healing dry, cracked skin – and, because it is easily absorbed it remains on the skin for hours.
Mango seed Butter: Long used in the pacific regions the oil from Mango seeds has been used as a moisturiser and treatment for sunburn. Readily absorbed in the skin helping the hydro-lipid layer replenish itself.
Aloe Vera: This wonder-gel derived from the Aloe Vera plant has renowned properties in healing in particular, soothing and protective to the skin.
Tallow: Tallow makes great soap, it is good for people who have extra dry skin as it is uniquely compatible with the biology of our cells. Tallow fat is typically 50 to 55 percent saturated, just like our cell membranes.
Castor Oil: Castor oil is extracted from the Castor Bean Plant. It is rare in that it is mostly ricinoleic acid, an unsaturated omega-9 fatty acid, that adds conditioning properties to the soap.It acts similar to glycerin, drawing moisture to the skin.
Coconut Oil: in soap has been used by many with skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, and acne to treat and clear up skin. Even if you don’t have these conditions, you may suffer from occasional dry skin, especially during those winter months, and coconut oil can help.
Olive Oil: Olive oil in soap cleans your skin without stripping away the natural oils — so you don’t end up dry and flaky after it’s use. Olive oil also allows the skin to sweat and shed cells naturally; commercial soaps that contain synthetic cleaners and fragrances can block your pores and cause irritation. Glycerin, a byproduct of the soap-making process is highly moisturizing — it actually absorbs water from the air. Commercial soap producers usually remove the glycerin from their products to use for other purposes.
Abyssinian oil
Abyssinian oil is lightweight and rapidly absorbs into the skin, ultra-light, non-greasy and natural with a unique molecular structure that isn’t found in any other naturally-occurring oil.
This oil leaves your skin smooth, soft, and radiant. The long-chain unsaturated fatty acids in this oil contribute to its ability to enhance and strengthen your skin. They also act as a protective barrier to lock in moisture and prevent dehydration.
Whether you’re acne-prone, fighting wrinkles, or both, Abyssinian oil is a good choice. It mimics your natural skin barrier, which helps to moderate oil. This means if your skin is on the dry side, Abyssinian oil can help to promote a healthy amount of oil for moisturized skin. On the other hand, it can also help to balance out too-oily skin.
Abyssinian oil also contains linoleic and linoleic acids, which help skin regenerate and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. It has excellent moisturising properties which help promote skin suppleness, softness and wrinkle reduction. Abyssinian oil adds lustre to dull and lifeless skin, helping to give your skin a more youthful appearance..
