What's in our soaps
At Keep It Natural we take great pride in the fact that our soaps are made to a simple 3 oil base recipe - soap doesn't have to be complicated to be amazing. Think of the great soaps of the world - true Castile soap is traditionally made with just olive oil, Aleppo soap is made with olive oil and up to 20% laurel oil - the more Laurel oil the more expensive it is.
We spent months researching our recipe and then more months testing and fine tuning the variant recipes before we were satisfied with our end products.
We chose
Olive oil - our main ingredient - contributes moisturising properties to soap. It also gives the bars a gentle and creamy lather, making it a great choice for dry or sensitive skin.
Coconut oil - a super cleansing addition that produces lots of big bubbles
Rice Bran oil - this oil is extracted from the hulls of brown rice, and is rich in Vitamin E and anti-oxidants, and gives the soap a lovely silky lather.
All our soaps are scented only with essential oils - we do NOT use synthetic fragrance oil -which can contain artificial scents, dangerous chemicals, and many unknowns. That is why you won't find "strawberry" or "banana" scented soaps in our range.
In aromatherapy, essential oils are used to positively enhance mental and physical well-being. The oils that we chose to use in our soaps were chosen for their particular attributes – like lavender for its calming effects, peppermint for its stress minimising and uplifting properties, and lemongrass for its brilliant natural energy boost. The scents are strong but not overbearing and will last right through to the last slither of soap.
Many fragrance oils can look and smell like their natural counterparts, but they don’t retain any of the positive mental and physical effects of essential oils. A natural lavender essential oil is widely used in aromatherapy practices, but a synthetic lavender fragrance oil doesn’t have any of those benefits – even though it smells very similar.
Each bar of soap is handmade, hand cut and hand-packaged. Due to the handmade nature of our products, color, design and shape may vary slightly.
All natural handmade soaps crafted using quality ingredients, scented only with essential oils and coloured using herbs, spices and natural clays. Handmade right here in Adelaide, South Australia in our purposely built soap studio. Get clean without harsh chemicals. 💚List of Ingredients for each soap
