Suitable for all skin types, particularly good for sensitive skin and conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, etc.
The vast majority of soaps bought in stores are made through a high temperature process, which destroys most of the nutrients in the natural ingredients (if any!). Moreover, they often contain some nasty ingredients including:
- Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS): An engine degreaser which can cause eye irritation, permanent damage in children's eyes, skin rashes, hair loss and flaking skin.
- Propylene Glycol: The main ingredient in the manufacture of brake fluid and industrial anti-freeze. It is used in body care products because it glides on smoothly, however it greatly damages and ages the skin. It also causes skin rashes and dryness.
- Fragrance: Almost always refers to a mix of synthetic compounds. Known to cause allergic reactions.
- Parabens: Used as preservatives in many, many products, parabens (such as methyl-, ethyl-, propyl-, butyl-, isobutyl- and others) may be linked to the development of breast cancer.
- Animal ingredients, such as tallow (animal fat) and honey (which is not good if you care for the bees).
Our soaps are entirely free from the above ingredients.
Please note: During pregnancy, it is extremely important to be cautious about what you eat and put on your body. It is best to err on the side of caution and we therefore recommend avoiding all products containing essential oils during the first three months.
