Coconut oil
A source of lauric and myristic fatty acids, often used to promote bubbly lather and cleansing.
THE BOTANICALS
Six oils. One formula.
Learn what each starting oil contributes to soap chemistry and why blending fatty acid profiles matters.
🌴
Palm kernel oil
Another lauric-rich oil that contributes to lather and cleansing characteristics.
🫒
Olive oil
Rich in oleic acid, traditionally associated with distinctive, typically less bubbly soap characteristics.
🌱
Castor oil
Rich in ricinoleic acid and commonly incorporated to support foam characteristics.
🌿
Hemp seed oil
Contains polyunsaturated fatty acids and helps diversify the starting oil blend.
✳
Jojoba oil
Technically a liquid wax ester, used as part of the botanical raw material blend.
What the ingredient list actually means
The bottle lists distilled water, organic coconut oil, palm kernel oil, organic olive oil, organic castor oil, organic hemp seed oil, organic jojoba oil, citric acid, and potassium hydroxide. Citric acid appears twice in the supplied printed label; that duplication should be reviewed when the packaging is updated.
Important: Oils undergo chemical change during saponification. The label also states that no free oils remain after saponification. Descriptions above concern the oils' roles in soapmaking, not promises that the original oils remain available to moisturize skin.
Plant-derived does not mean risk-free
Ingredient origin is only one consideration. Whether a cleanser feels gentle depends on the finished formulation, its pH, contact time and individual skin. Natural products can still cause irritation or sensitivities.
