Soap Ingredients
Pure natural oils, infusions are combined with essential oils to
make the soaps:

Oil from the fruit of the coconut palm grown in most tropical countries.
In soaps, it is an emollient that is protecting, conditioning, and
moisturising to the skin. It helps make a hard bar, picking up lots
of detail from the flower buds and petals, and produces a fast sudsy
and creamy lather.

Penetrating oil similar to natural human oil secretions. Excellent
skin conditioner, especially for inflammations, acne, psoriasis,
and eczema.

Oil pressed from the fruit of olive trees grown primarily throughout
the Mediterranean. Holds moisture close to the skin and therefore
prevents loss of internal moisture. Olive oil produces a mild, creamy
