The Natural Ingredients in our Soaps
Unrefined Shea Butter is a Soapy Zen Favorite! Shea butter is rich in fatty acids and antioxidants, which make it an excellent moisturizer for the skin. It can help to calm, and improve your skin’s appearance, and protect the skin from environmental damage. It can also be used as a lip balm and as a carrier oil for essential oils.
Unrefined Cocoa Butter is a favored ingredient in Soapy Zen products, who doesn’t love chocolate, right? It is derived from the cocoa bean and is a natural moisturizer that provides a host of benefits for the skin and smells chocolaty! Cocoa butter is a solid fat that melts on contact with the skin and helps to moisturize and nourish it. It acts as a barrier to lock in moisture and keep the skin soft and supple. Cocoa butter calms and soothes irritated skin. Cocoa butter is rich in antioxidants, which help to protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals and environmental stressors. If our skin had a voice it would shout out “more cocoa butter please!”
Coconut Oil is a popular ingredient in Soapy Zen soaps because of its benefits for the skin. It is a great moisturizer that helps to nourish the skin, leaving it feeling soft and smooth. Coconut oil is also a great lathering agent, producing a rich, creamy lather in soap that helps to cleanse the skin without stripping it of its natural oils. When used in soap making, coconut oil contributes to a gentle cleansing experience.
Olive Oil is a popular ingredient in soap making due to its nourishing and moisturizing properties. It is rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and fatty acids, which help to keep the skin soft, smooth, and hydrated. One of the key benefits of using olive oil in soap is its gentleness. Olive oil is a mild oil that is well-suited for all skin types.
Tussah Silk – At soapy zen, we love caterpillars! The addition of silk will cause your homemade soap to have a more shiny appearance, slightly increased lather, more slip, and a general luxurious “silky” feeling to it. This silk is cruelty-free. The fibers are collected from cocoons after the silkworms have emerged.
