Sodium cocoyl isethionate (anionic): a very mild foam based on coconut. I chose a variant of finely ground powder so that I can easily process the product in the bars. This substance is often referred to as ‘ baby foam ’, this only confirms its mild effect.
To obtain an even milder effect of the bars, it is better to use foaming substances with different ‘ loads ’ (anionic, amphoteric, cationic, a little chemistry will not hurt)
Disodium cocoyl amphodiacetate (amphoteric): this is the second mild foaming substance that I use in the bars also based on coconut. I consciously chose this substance because I am allergic to cocoamidopropyl betaine myself.
Cetearyl alcohol and stearic acid: both are fatty acids and ensure that all ingredients can be easily combined into a hard, beautiful bar. They boost the foam and provide a shiny, soft feel on the skin.
Hydrogenated rape seed oil: rapeseed oil that has been converted into a hard wax by a special process that makes for a hard bar but without losing the nourishing properties of the rapeseed oil.
Isoamyl laurate: this is an ester and acts as a silicone in the bar but a natural, harmless version. It ensures that the conditioning function is increased and the hair becomes combable even more easily.
Dead sea mud: dead sea mud is hugely known for its purifying properties. It cleanses the skin and removes dead skin cells. It contributes to healthier skin.
Glyceryl Stearate Citrate: is made from different vegetable oils and citric acid and is the emulsifier that binds the substances together but also nourishes the skin, win-win.
Shorea stenoptera seed butter: illipe butter, a versatile butter that softens the skin and since this butter contains a lot of vitamin A and vitamin E, this is the ultimate butter to boost dry skin.
Garcinia indica seed butter: kokum butter, rich in fatty acids through which it nourishes the skin and can contribute to elasticity of the skin.
Glycerin: absolutely indispensable as a humidifier, it provides hydration to the skin and attracts moisture from the air to keep the skin hydrated longer.
Behentrimonium methosulfate: the conditioning agent based on rapeseed that I use in the products. This works top in solid products and ensures that the hair becomes nice and soft.
Glycine seed oil and ascophyllum nodosum extract: soy oil infused with clubweed extract, also known as blotchweed: full of vitamins, amino acids and minerals, natural goodies from the sea to nourish the skin.
Benzyl alcohol and Dehydroacetic acid: a bar does not necessarily require a preservative, but I believe that no fungus or bacteria should grow on the bars, hence I still use and preservative. It is one of the mildest preservatives on the market and Cosmos and Ecocert approved. Both substances are used together in only minimal amount.
Sodium phytate, aqua, alcohol: the complex sodium salt of phytic acid, made from seeds of grains, vegetables and nuts it is used in these body bars because it can adhere to minerals and impurities which is especially important for regions where there is hard water.
Lactic acid: it is very important that the acidity of a bar has a certain value (the value is best between 4.5 and 6 to meet the acidity of our skin). I use lactic acid to adjust this to the perfect value for the skin.
Perfume: I definitely like tasty scents and chose to add perfume in some versions. As a result, there are also allergens that have to be put on the label because some people can be sensitive to it, it is about:
- Winter surf: tetamethylacetyloctohydronaphthalenes, eugenol
- Firestorm: limonene, terpinaline
