Ingredients we use in our soap.

Activated Charcoal is a potent natural treatment which works by trapping toxins and chemicals in its millions of tiny pores.

It’s effective at treating body odor and acne and relieving discomfort from insect bites and rashes.

​

Colloidal Oatmeal (Avena Sativa) Natural food grade.

A naturally occurring powder with cleansing, barrier, moisturizing and anti-puritic (anti-itching) properties.  Oatmeal is an excellent ingredient for products targeting very dry skin. It contains cationic proteins that stick to the skin improving its barrier function. The natural sugars swell due to their excellent ability to bind water and deliver it deep into the cells and the proteins help carry occlusive ingredients into the skin for long term moisturisation.

Clays:

Bentonite Clay: Of all the varieties of clays, bentonite is perhaps the most popular because it is the most potent. The only precaution here is that if you are highly sensitive skin, you might want to stick with a white Kaolin clay. It possesses the strongest ability to detoxify the skin, absorb and draw out impurities form the skin, counter bacterial infections and promote a healthy looking glow to the skin. If your skin can handle it, bentonite clay is definitely one of the best for healing the skin.  

 

Kaolin Clay: Of the many varieties of medicinal clays, kaolin clay is the gentlest and is great for sensitive skin. This clay comes in a few different colors—white, yellow, red, and pink—all of which vary in their abilities.

 

White kaolin clay is the gentlest and thus great for sensitive dry skin. It doesn’t absorb so much as it softens with super gentle bits for a mild exfoliation. It doesn’t possess the same potent detoxification properties as bentonite.

 

Yellow kaolin clay is slightly more absorbent and exfoliating but still remains gentle enough for sensitive skin. This is often found in brightening masks.

 

Red kaolin clay has the most absorbing powers of the bunch and is best for oily skin. This is a great for acne/detoxifying the face or body.

 

Pink kaolin clay is pretty much a mixture of the white and red kaolin clays, making it an idea balance for those with sensitive skin that needs a bit of oil-vacuuming and gentle exfoliation.

 

Green French argiletz clay is a unique composition which includes decomposed plant material, iron, silica, aluminium, magnesium, calcium, titanium, sodium and potassium. It absorbs and removes impurities from the skin, revealing the fresh surface of the skin to provide a healthy looking glow. French Green Clay can be used to promote relaxation of the body and a sense of well-being. It is suitable for all skin types.

 

Pink French argiletz clay is a combination of red and white clays. Its unique composition includes kaolinite, iron, illite, montmorillonite and calcite.

It is considered the mildest of all the clays and works well for normal, sensitive and mature skin types. Pink French argiletz Clay has gentle exfoliating and polishing properties helping remove impurities to create an overall refreshed appearance. It can be used on oily or acne-prone skin.

​

Yellow French argiletz clay is generally used where the condition of the skin and body needs revitalising.  Yellow clay is recommended for most skin types to restore tired and neglected skin.
