What is the soap made from?
INGREDIENTS: Sodium Olivate (Olive Oil), Sodium Cocoate (Coconut Oil), Aqua (Water), Butyrospermum Parkii Butter (Shea Butter), Mentha Piperita Essential Oil (Peppermint Oil, contains Limonene), Papaver Somniferum Seed (Poppy Seed).
That’s it. Six ingredients, one of which is water. If that’s not pure and natural I don’t know what is. Keeping clean doesn’t have to be complicated after all.
Where does the soap come from?
Made in the UK.
Is it sustainable and environmentally friendly?
Olive Oil does have some environmental issues within its production, mainly due to intensive farming methods. However, a lot of olive oil farming is still done by small scale farmers using traditional methods, which is much better environmentally.
Shea butter is great. It is a very sustainable and environmentally friendly in production, because it does not grow in plantations, (it is therefore wild) and has no need for irrigation or pesticides. Unrefined shea butter is best.
Coconut oil, peppermint oil and poppy seeds seem to be ok.
How about ethical?
Made in the UK by a small handmade soap business, so ethically we are all good here.
Extra good stuff:
Vegan, not tested on animals, free from palm oil and known skin irritants such as Sodium Lauryl Sulphate’s (foaming agent) and parabens (preservatives).
Conclusion –
Soap with no plastic, palm oil and good ingredients? What more could you want!
