Properties of oils / materials used:
| Tallow | Provides excellent hardness to soap for long-lasting bars. Produces a creamy lather with good cleansing properties. Contains skin-friendly vitamins A, D, E, and K. Natural antioxidants help protect the skin. All our tallow originates from pasture-raised beef and sheep in the Marlborough Sounds, sourced directly from farms and rendered by us to ensure the best quality. |
| Coconut | Creates a bubbly and effective cleansing lather. Adds firmness to soap bars for durability. Contains natural antioxidants to provide some skin protection. |
| Castor | Attracts moisture to the skin, ensuring hydration. Enhances lather and bubbles for a satisfying wash. Contains vitamin E and essential fatty acids for some skin nourishment. |
| Sunflower Oil (High Oleic) | Contributes to a creamy and stable lather in soap, enhancing its cleansing properties. Rich in oleic acid, sunflower oil helps nourish and soften the skin without feeling greasy. Contains antioxidants such as Vitamin E, which may help protect the skin from environmental stressors. These properties of high oleic sunflower oil make it a valuable addition to soap, offering cleansing, nourishing, and protective benefits for the skin. Even better - this Sunflower oil HO is produced here in New Zealand. |
| Stearic Acid | A palm-free fatty acid derived from olive oil that helps create a dense, stable, and creamy lather—perfect for shaving soaps. It adds firmness to the soap bar for longer-lasting use and provides a smooth, protective layer on the skin to help the razor glide easily, reducing irritation. Its emollient properties also leave skin feeling soft and moisturised after shaving. |
| Colloidal Oatmeal | |
|---|---|
| Has been used for centuries as a natural skincare ingredient. It contains unique antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds called avenanthramides. While research on its benefits continues, many have found it soothing and nourishing for the skin. Our handmade soap includes this time-tested ingredient, promoting a soft, smooth feel. | |
| Citric acid | in your soap serves a dual purpose. It helps your soap perform well in hard water by preventing mineral build up, ensuring a rich lather. Additionally, it acts as a natural preservative, extending the soap's shelf life for a longer-lasting product you'll enjoy. |
