What is it?
What is it?
A true soap, also known as soap in its purest form, is a cleansing agent made through the saponification process. It's created by mixing fats or oils with an alkali, such as lye (sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide). The chemical reaction between these components transforms them into soap molecules and glycerine.
True soap is biodegradable and breaks down easily in the environment. It's free from synthetic detergents, fragrances, and additives commonly found in commercial cleansers, making it a natural and eco-friendly choice for cleaning and personal care.
It comes in convenient flakes, perfect for effortless use in your DIY creations.
- Ingredients: Organic coconut oil, water, and lye.
- pH: Approx. 8
Key Benefits
Key Benefits
A safe surfactant
At the heart of any effective cleaning agent lies its ability to break down grease and grime. Pure soap is a natural surfactant, which means it excels at this vital task. Its molecular structure acts like a bridge between water and oils, effortlessly lifting away dirt and leaving surfaces shining.
Soap vs. Detergent
While we often use "soap" and "detergent" interchangeably, they're not quite the same. Soap is crafted through a traditional process of mixing fats or oils with an alkali, while detergents involve synthetic compounds. Opting for pure soap means choosing a gentler, more natural option that's free from synthetic additives found in detergents.
It's timeless
Pure soap has stood the test of time – a testament to its reliability and effectiveness. With a history stretching back through generations, it's a tried-and-true solution that's been trusted for its cleaning prowess.
It's versatile
Need a degreaser for your stovetop? Or perhaps a gentle cleaner for your little one's highchair? Look no further than pure soap. Its versatile nature makes it suitable for various surfaces, making cleaning a breeze.
Eco-Friendly by Nature
Choosing pure soap aligns with your commitment to eco-conscious living. Its production involves fewer chemicals and has a smaller environmental footprint compared to conventional cleaners. Plus, its biodegradable nature ensures it breaks down harmlessly, reducing its impact on our planet.
Even more reasons..
Beyond these top reasons, pure soap is a budget-friendly solution that leaves behind a fresh, clean scent – no overpowering artificial fragrances needed.

- 750ml Apothecary Jar - These charming jars offer a practical and decorative storage solution, perfect for adding a vintage touch to your home. Please note this is decorated amber and not pure amber glass, however, it is made from recycled glass adding to the charm. They have a wide mouth for easy filling and the inside of the lid measures approx. one tablespoon, making it a handy tool.
- Eco-Friendly Earth Bags - Made from brown recycled paper and a 100% natural corn-based biofilm, are both renewable and compostable. For optimal disposal, we recommend commercial composting after removing any tin ties and labels. Under the right conditions, these bags can decompose in about six months. Due to their compostable nature, Earth Bags are best for short-term ingredient storage. For long-term storage, transfer your ingredients to an airtight container.
