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.

Macadamia Nut Oil is rich in Palmitoleic Acid making it an effective antioxidant protecting the cell membranes from damage through free radicals. The fatty acid composition is similar to the human sebum.

Since the Palmitoleic Acid production in our skin declines with age, Macadamia Nut Oil is very useful for mature and dry skin, which needs nourishment and moisture. It penetrates and hydrates the skin quickly providing the important fatty acid needed.

It absorbs well into the skin and is highly emollient and soothing.

Recent studies have also shown good anti-microbial activity on the skin surface.

Activated charcoal – The huge surface of activated charcoal removes dirt, toxins and excessive oil from the skin, drawing out impurities and unblocks the pores, which are a common cause for spots. It also helps to regulate the amount of sebum that the skin produces which attracts bacteria. The skin is much more balanced, the pores will get smaller.

Rooibos is well known for its anti-aging properties due to its high level of anti-oxidants, which protect your skin from free radicals, and its ability to stimulate the regeneration of cells. It also boosts your immune system and is therefore very beneficial for sensitive and infected skin.
