Natural soap - Jojoba

What are natural soaps?

Natural soap means all ingredients are derived from organic plants and herbs.

Simply put, natural soap consists of two components: fat and soda. Both components together form a chemical reaction called saponification. Fat and soda combine and neutralize, creating something completely new, the soap. In the saponification process, natural glycerin is formed by the fats used.

What is the best natural soap?

Natural soaps are intentionally over-greased. That is, the dosage of e.g. Olive oil or coconut oil is so high that the base can not completely saponify it and this excess remains 100% pure in the finished soap. Depending on the type of soap, this amount of greasing is between 6% and 10%.

In our natural soaps "Spirit of Nature" remain the vegetable glycerin and the phytochemicals and thus guarantee a gentle, natural and ecological cleaning.

Jojoba oil

Jojoba oil is the liquid produced in the seed of the Simmondsia chinensis (Jojoba) plant, a shrub, which is native to southern Arizona, southern California, and northwestern Mexico. The oil makes up approximately 50% of the jojoba seed by weight. The terms "jojoba oil" and "jojoba wax" are often used interchangeably because the wax visually appears to be a mobile oil, but as a wax it is composed almost entirely of mono-esters of long-chain fatty acids and alcohols, accompanied by only a tiny fraction of triglyceride esters. This composition accounts for its extreme shelf-life stability and extraordinary resistance to high temperatures, compared with true vegetable oils.

Uses

Jojoba oil is found as an additive in many cosmetic products, especially those marketed as being made from natural ingredients. In particular, such products commonly containing jojoba are lotions and moisturizers, hair shampoos and conditioners. The pure oil itself may also be used on skin, hair, or cuticles.
