Safe soap making relies on proper chemistry; and an improper understanding of the reaction and process can result in harmful bars that contain lye. We are thrilled this range has been individually commissioned by various supermarkets (Tesco and Asda and is now available in Morrisons too – thank you!). It means these super soaps are likely to be available on shelves near you. Good question budding chemist! The fact that lye is used to make our soap is indeed reflected in our ingredient listing. You may have heard of Dr. Bronner's—also known as the soap that can be used to clean almost anything. Users report using Dr. Bronner's Castile soap for everything from washing dishes to shampooing their hair. Because it has so many uses, we had to give it the best overall title.
range of luxury soaps and toiletries hand-made just up the road as well as gift baskets, accessories and a sometimes eclectic selection of items from In our daily lives, we are used to encountering (and eating!) all sorts of oils; olive oil being a common one. including hotels, B&Bs and shops. And if you're ever in our corner of Norfolk, why not drop in and see Everyone has individual preferences when it comes to soap. Many of the soaps we feature are scented with essential oils, but if you prefer something hypoallergenic, you may want an unscented version. CostA mild and gentle soap to use on your dog or horse. Made with milk powder for gentleness and neem oil for repelling insects, and scented with Kunzea, tea tree and lemon eucalyptus essential oils. We first made this to help restore outdoorsy-type muddy Norfolk dogs to somewhere near their original colour, texture and smell but our handmade pet soap works equally well on pampered pooches and princess poodles. There's nothing much in there that might upset your pet but please do a little patch test at first just in case. When we first started making soap we asked our chemist whether we could use the ash-egg method to make our own alkali. They are also produced using our unique ‘extra cold’ method. This involves a refusal to heat our oils* (as the majority of even ‘cold process’ soap makers do), and a focus on respecting and supporting the natural soap making reaction with minimal interference. Join us on our mission to rid the bathrooms and wash bags of the world from synthetic ingredients. Join the Naturals gang. If something is artificially manipulated in a lab (ie compounds are put together in ways that don’t occur in this way in nature), then this won’t make it into our soaps.
BUY: InstaNatural Vitamin C Face Wash Best Natural Soap for Sensitive Skin - The Soap Haven Oatmeal Soap People with eczema often find their skin is easily irritated by soaps with artificial fragrances, harsh cleansers, or drying ingredients. It can be hard to find a soap that will soothe, not irritate, the skin. If you have eczema, we recommend the Southern Natural Goat Milk Soap Bar. Goat milk is very nourishing to the skin, and this soap is made with other ingredients that are meant to soothe and moisturize irritated skin. If there were lye in our soap and we didn’t list it in our ingredients, then we would be breaking the law. If a soap formula is badly calculated or sloppily made then it is very possible that the final soap bars contain lye. Natural products are even more important when cleansing the delicate, sensitive skin of your face which is why we recommend the InstaNatural Vitamin C Face Wash. This gel cleanser is made with natural ingredients high in antioxidants, like aloe and green tea extract. Vitamin C is also great for firming up skin and reducing fine lines.First, as a little business, dreaming and planning at the kitchen table, selling locally and small-scale. But never letting go of my big vision, we developed the brand and range of products, we gained interest from retailers, and we enjoyed love and loyalty from a growing number of customers. We never stand still. Our product range continues to expand as we push boundaries and explore new possibilities. Soap made without sulfates and unnecessary chemicals is much better for the health of your skin in the long run. So, in short, Olive Oil (INCI Olea Europea), an acid, is made into soap, or ‘saponified’, by adding an alkali (lye), or ‘base’, to it. Also, you CANNOT make soap without it* and humans have been making soap with it in various forms for 1000s of years. For example, when pounded, the yucca root produces a soap-like substance that can be used for washing, as do horse chestnut seeds. Traditionally, the latter was used to clean cloth and even delicate tapestries in the UK.
The soap also has small pieces of oatmeal in the soap, which adds a gentle exfoliation. If your skin can tolerate mild exfoliation, we highly recommend giving the Soap Haven Oatmeal Soap a try. What We Like Note: all our soaps are vegetarian and therefore no actual parts of animals (e.g. lard or cochineal) are present in any of our soaps. For example, we never try to ‘force cure’ our soaps with the use of dehumidifiers. Our soaps simply air dry for as long as is necessary. Usually at least 4 weeks, often up to 6). Oh, what do many companies do? They remove the glycerin from their bars. Why? Because its valuable and can be sold on to other parts of the cosmetics industry. Many ‘natural’ soaps contain these ingredients, Ours do not. If it hasn’t been extracted directly from the plant (or isn’t still a plant – e.g. seaweed or carrot powder), then it doesn’t make it into our soaps.
It's available in a variety of scents and comes in a bottle with a squirt top for easy use. We like that they use essential oils to add scent to their products. And, unlike so many other natural dish soaps, this formula actually works on tough grease and food stains. What We Like The alkali we use is called Sodium Hydroxide and therefore what is produced is the salt of olive oil (Sodium Olivate, or olive oil soap) plus glycerin. The healthiest soap for your body is one that cleans your skin without stripping it of its natural protective barrier. It's also important to avoid parabens and other unsafe chemicals. Is natural soap actually better?
