Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|---|
Total Base Oils |
Typically 3 (Coconut, Palm, Olive) |
8 Premium Oils(Extra Virgin Olive, Coconut, Castor, Palm, Shea, Cocoa, Argan and Sweet Almond Oil) |
More oils create a complex, "multi-dimensional" skin feel. |
Olive Oil Content |
Often uses a lower percentage of olive oil, or relies more heavily on lower-cost base oils |
Extra virgin olive oil(represents 40% of our base oils) |
A high olive oil content delivers a more premium, skin-comfort-focused formula |
Butters |
0% – 5% (often none at all) |
High % Dual Butters (Shea & Cocoa) |
Butters are expensive; they provide the "richer feel" standard soap lacks. |
Luxury "Soft" Oils |
0% |
Argan, Sweet Almond and Castor Oil |
These are high-cost oils that nourish the skin rather than just cleaning it |
Palm Oil Usage |
~33% (Bulk Filler) |
Strategically Low % and responsibly sourced |
We use Palm for stability, but rely on Cocoa Butter and Shea for creaminess. |
Active Additives |
None (Scent/Color only) |
Hydrolyzed Silk & Kaolin Clay |
These transform the bar from a "wash" into a "skincare treatment." |
Honey Content |
None |
100% Raw Honey |
Real honey is a natural humectant that draws moisture into the skin. |
Vitamin E |
None |
Pure Vitamin E (Antioxidant) |
Protects oils from oxidation and supports skin barrier repair. |
