Olive Oil
We use one of the best South African cold pressed extra virgin Olive Oils available on the market. It is by a large margin our most important vegetable oil used in our soap making processes and is usually the first oil on the recipe.
It has been the favourite of soap maker since ancient times. It penetrates the skin better than any other oil. The resulting soaps are moisturizing as well as mild. It is packed with vitamins, minerals and proteins and produces mild, creamy soaps with great emollient properties. Olive oil based soaps are perfect for people with a dry or sensitive skin including eczema and psoriasis.
Olive oil is rich in antioxidants, which help to protect the skin against free radicals which promote aging. Its oleic acids and polyphenols help prevent wrinkles and sagging of skin.
Coconut Oil is the most important oil of most soap makers. Lauric acid is the predominant fatty acid in Coconut Oil which is responsible for the quick and strong foaming and lathering action. The drawback of Coconut Oil is the drying effect of Lauric Acid. This negative effect is normally compensated by the use of soft oils such as Olive Oil. Using Coconut Oil in soap bars also influences the hardness of soap bars quite significantly. We use Coconut Oil for its foaming properties, just enough for the application we have in mind – no Coconut Oil for a facial cleanser and more for a body wash or shampoo.
Macadamia Nut Oil is rich in Palmitoleic Acid making it an effective anti-oxidant protecting the cell membranes from damage through free radicals. The fatty acid composition of Macadamia Nut Oil is similar to the human sebum and is therefore very well absorbed by the skin.
Apricot Kernel Oil is very mild and ideal for irritated skin and also for any other skin type. It is very suitable for an extra mild hair wash or facial cleanser.
