Sodium Lactate is a natural humectant derived from the fermentation of sugars, typically sourced from beets or corn. It's a sodium salt of natural Lactic Acid, a key component of the skin's natural moisturizing factor (NMF). Renowned for its hydrating properties, it attracts and retains moisture in the skin, leaving it soft and supple.

In skincare, Sodium Lactate acts as a humectant, drawing moisture into the skin and providing a non-greasy finish. It also enhances stability and shelf life, acting as a natural preservative and pH regulator.

In cold process soap making, Sodium Lactate contributes to the hardness of bars, aiding in easier unmolding and longer-lasting results. It also enhances the texture, resulting in smoother soap bars.

Sodium Hydroxide, commonly known as Lye or Caustic Soda, is an inorganic compound and a fundamental component in the traditional soap-making process. It serves as the primary agent in the chemical reaction process known as 'saponification' - from which the term 'soap' originates. As an alkaline substance, it is referred to as caustic soda due to its corrosive properties. In soap making, precautions are taken to ensure that none of this chemical remains in the final product. The first measure involves testing the pH of the soap to ensure its safety for the skin. Following this, 'Superfatting' is employed, where extra oils are added to the mixture to ensure there are more oils than the lye or sodium hydroxide can react with. This results in additional precious oils left-over in the soap that help hydrate and nourish the skin. While the general superfat percentage in soap is around 5%, we elevate ours to 7% for enhanced hydration.

(ZnO) - Zinc oxide occurs naturally as the mineral zincite, though it is relatively rare and generally commercially unavailable in its natural form. For industrial and cosmetic purposes, zinc oxide is primarily produced synthetically through high-temperature vaporization methods. As one of the few synthetic compounds used in our products, zinc oxide is a versatile white powdery inorganic compound derived from oxidizing zinc metal.

Zinc oxide is prized for its various skincare benefits, particularly its potent anti-inflammatory properties. It is commonly used to treat a range of skin conditions, including inflammation, irritation, and redness. Additionally, zinc oxide provides broad-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB rays, making it a popular ingredient in sunscreens and skincare products designed to shield the skin from harmful sun exposure.

This compound is also known for its soothing and calming effects on the skin, making it suitable for sensitive or reactive skin types. Its gentle nature makes it an excellent choice for skincare formulations aimed at promoting skin health and addressing various dermatological concerns.
