What's in my soap
Every bar starts with the same simple base, then gets its color, texture and personality from clays, botanicals and spices. Here's what each one is and what it brings to the bar. Every soap's listing in the shop names its exact oils and additives.
The base of every bar
Oils & butter
Coconut, olive, sunflower and avocado oils with cocoa butter. Together they make a firm bar with a balance of big bubbles and creamy lather.
Sodium hydroxide (lye)
What turns oils into soap. During curing it reacts completely with the oils to become soap and glycerin, so none remains in the finished bar. More about lye
Sodium lactate
A small amount of this plant-derived salt helps bars set up firmer and release cleanly from the molds. More about sodium lactate
Scent
Most bars use essential oils, which are listed by name. A few use fragrance oil, and the listing always says so. Essential vs. fragrance oil
Clays, botanicals & spices
The additives
These are what give each bar its color and character. Every color comes from ingredients like these, never synthetic dyes.
