Natural Soap for Healthy Living
When choosing a soap, the difference between commercial and natural options is profound. At The Australian Olive Oil Soap, we take pride in creating soaps by hand, free from synthetic additives that can be harsh on your skin. Our natural soaps are crafted without sulphates, EDTA, HEDP, and other chemicals often found in commercial soaps, so you can enjoy a product that’s as gentle as it is effective.
The Difference: Commercial Soaps vs. Natural Soaps
Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (SLS)
Many commercial soaps contain SLS, a foaming agent that creates a rich lather. Derived from petroleum, SLS is known to strip the skin of its natural oils, often leaving it feeling dry or irritated. At The Australian Olive Oil Soap, we avoid SLS because we believe in gentle cleansing that preserves your skin’s natural balance.
Tetrasodium EDTA
This ingredient is commonly used in mass-produced soaps to maintain appearance, prevent rancidity, and enhance colour. However, EDTA is also a penetration enhancer, meaning it breaks down the skin’s protective barrier, allowing other ingredients to penetrate more deeply. To us, this goes against the principles of gentle, natural skincare, so we opt for ingredients that nourish without disrupting your skin’s natural defenses.
Why Choose Natural Soap?
Our soaps are crafted with carefully selected local ingredients whenever possible. By avoiding unnecessary chemicals and focusing on high-quality, natural ingredients, we provide you with a soap that supports healthy living and respects your skin’s unique needs. Here’s what makes our natural soaps a wonderful addition to your skincare routine:
- Gentle and Effective Cleansing: Our natural ingredients cleanse without stripping the skin of its essential oils, making our soap ideal for everyday use.
- Nourishing Ingredients: By using extra virgin olive oil and other plant-based oils, we give your skin the hydration and nutrients it craves, resulting in a soap that’s both gentle and deeply nourishing.
- Environmentally Friendly: Our commitment to natural ingredients extends to environmentally conscious choices, from the ingredients we use to the way we package our products.
- Handmade with Care: Each bar is crafted by hand, so you’re getting a product made with love, care, and attention to quality.
Choosing natural soap is more than just a preference; it’s a commitment to healthier skin and a lifestyle that embraces simplicity and authenticity. Experience the gentle, nourishing difference of natural soap and join us in making a choice that’s better for your skin and the environment.
