Our Ingredients
We believe in transparency with our products. That's why we created this detailed explanation of all our soap ingredients and how they are used in our products. Feel free to do a deep-dive and explore, or skip-it if you find science a bore!
Please do NOT use our soaps if you have any known or suspected allergies to the following ingredients or ingredient combinations.
Palm Oil
Palm oil is derived from the fruit pulp of the Elaeis guineensis palm tree. Palm oil has many uses, ranging from the food industry to cosmetics, but for us, palm oil is a key part of our soap. Palm oil is comprised of many different kinds of fatty acids, and provides a hard soap bar at the end of the soaping process. All of our palm ingredients are sourced from RSPO certified manufacturers.
Propylene Glycol
Scary sounding chemical name, huh? But I promise you, it's not antifreeze; that stuff is ethylene glycol, and we use is called propylene glycol. Propylene glycol is perfectly safe for use on the skin, and is Generally Recognized as Safe by the FDA. In fact, it is even common ingredient in both the food and medical industries. In regards to soap, propylene glycol is a humectant, and is the key ~secret~ ingredient that allows us to make our soaps in such gorgeous designs!
Goat Milk
The kings of yore are said to have bathed in goat's milk, and we're bringing that same ancient luxury to you with our goat milk based soap. Goat's milk is loaded with vitamins and is responsible for creating a creamy, oh-so silky smooth bar!
Palm Kernel Oil
Similar to palm oil, palm kernel oil is derived from the central kernel of the Elaeis guineensis palm tree, and is sourced from RSPO certified manufacturers. Palm kernel oil is what helps our soaps produce all of the delicious bubbles and lather.
Glycerin
Glycerin is a natural by-product of the soap-making process of mixing fats and lye to produce soap. Most big-name commercial soap companies actually extrude and remove the glycerin from their soap; which is a darn shame because glycerin has so many useful properties as a moisturizing humectant.
Sodium Hydroxide
Ah, the king of scary sounding chemicals: sodium hydroxide. Sodium hydroxide, also known as lye, is absolutely integral to the soap-making process. It is responsible for reacting with fatty acids in oils to produce soap, and is entirely consumed in the process, so that there is none left over in the final soap product.
Castor Oil
The third source of fatty acids used in our soaps, castor oil is derived from the castor bean plant Ricinus communis. In soap, castor oil helps boost the bubble lather and creamy feeling.
Arrowroot Powder
Soaps containing glycerin have a tricky habit of 'sweating' the glycerin out, forming a completely harmless, but unsightly, layer of glycerin dew on the soap exterior. Arrowroot powder helps to hold all the glycerin in, keeping your soap as beautiful as the day it was created!
Honey
The natural sugar produced by bees, honey helps make soap harder, and boosts all of the fun lather and bubbles. Fun Fact: Did you know that honey never goes bad? There has been honey found in the pyramids of Egypt that still has yet to spoil!
Activated Charcoal
Our activated charcoal is sourced from burnt coconut husks, and is used to give our midnight soap line its rich, black color. Activated charcoal is known to have amazing properties, but I technically can't list any of them here thanks to the FDA's guidelines for selling soap. You'll just have to look up that one yourself
Titanium Dioxide
Fragrance
This is what makes our soaps smell amazing! Some scents, such as citrus, lavender, and tea tree, use only essential oils; whereas chocolate and rose based scents are derived from fragrance oils. All of our scents are phalate free.
