This is a unique manufacturing process, ecological and artisanal which guarantees the best possible conservation of the properties of the vegetable oils and butters used. This manufacturing method allows for superior quality soaps. In each of the formulations we add certified organic vegetable oils at the end of manufacturing in order to obtain a superfat of 8 to 10%, ideal for the skin< /b>. All dyes used are 100% of natural origin.
How it works ?
To make a solid soap you need two elements: a fatty substance, i.e. a mixture of vegetable oils on one side and on the other, a soda base, or sodium hydroxide for short.
From this mixture a chemical reaction will occur which will give rise to two elements: glycerin and soap. The chemical reaction is complete, which means that the soda is completely absorbed. And to obtain asuperfatted soap the quantity of oil must be greater than that of the soda. We practice a soda withdrawal of 5% in relation to the saponification index of the oil (amount of soda necessary for the oil and soda to be completely consumed) which varies from one oil to another.

A soap like no other...
Each oil contains non-saponifiable elements (which will not react with soda) which will provide a specific property to the soap depending on the nature of the soap. oil.
Cold saponification is generally done at room temperature. We work at lower temperatures than what could be practiced by others in order to protect the raw materials.
Finally, to make good quality soap it is necessary above all, have a perfect knowledge of the vegetable oils, essential oils and perfumes of natural origin used. The proof ? All our cosmetics are labeled SLOW COSMETIQUE.
