Soap
Our natural soaps are handmade according to the cold process method. This way of making soap means that you mix plant based oils and butters with lye. Lye is a mixture of water with NaOH (sodium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide). The oils, butters and lye start the saponification process. Nothing remains of the lye after the saponification process and the drying period of the soap (and is therefore not on the ingredients list). And natural glycerine is created through the saponification process (we don't ad it as a separate ingredient). This glycerin is therefore naturally present in every piece of cold process soap.
The end result: a beautiful bar of HelemaalShea soap, a fantastic cleaning product!
The soap is handmade and cut by hand, so no soap is the same and the weight can vary.
We have recently started using palm oil in some of our recipes. Because the price of cocoa butter has increased by 300%, we had to find a solution. Either stop making the soaps or change the recipes. We chose to use palm oil because it makes the soap really hard and it provides a nice and rich lather. The palm oil has an organic certification and comes from Colombia. It is not produced on land that has been taken from the rainforests, and no orangutans have been made homeless. The Colombian suppliers are members of the RSPO (Round Table for Sustainable Production of Palm Oil).
