The antithesis of industrial soap which is essentially composed of palm oil or tallow (beef fat) heated to high temperature, cold saponified soap relies on a complex of vegetable oils selected for their active properties on the skin, butters, solid oils and natural ingredients. Only solid butters and oils are melted at low temperature to obtain a liquid paste.

Vegetable oils do not undergo any thermal transformation to retain all their power and benefits in the soap. Another notable difference with industrial soaps which earns it the title of superfatted soap: its high content and excess oil.

As effective as shower oil, the star of solid cosmetics comes to the rescue of sensitive and atopic skin . It is particularly recommended during winter, a period when the health of your skin is put to the test! Superfatted, superhydrating, supernatural!
