The Best Natural Ingredient in Skincare that No one is Talking About (But they should!)

The Best Natural Ingredient in Skincare that No one is Talking About (But they should!)
Welcome, skincare enthusiasts, to a journey into the heart of skincare sorcery! Today, we're uncovering the captivating truth behind our soap bars – the enchanting allure of naturally occurring glycerin.
 
But before we dive in, let's address one crucial point: when we talk about glycerin, we're referring to the naturally produced glycerin derived from saponifying the luxurious Australian plant oils we use, such as Olive, Macadamia, and Avocado. No palm oil here – in fact, we're proudly certified palm oil-free by the Orangutan Alliance. Unlike some brands that use glycerin formulated from palm oil and label it simply as glycerin, we're committed to transparency and quality in every aspect of our products.
 
Now, onto the magic of glycerin! Picture this: it's a humectant, a moisture magnet, a hydration hero. When our skilled artisans blend our sumptuous oils like olive oil with our alkali, sodium hydroxide (fear not, it transforms during saponification and there’s none left in the final product!), something truly enchanting occurs. A chemical symphony unfolds, giving rise to soap molecules and our unsung hero, glycerin.
And here's the kicker – unlike some commercial soapmakers who strip glycerin from their bars for use in other products, we let it remain right where it belongs: in your soap. This means that every time you lather up with one of our soap bars, you're not just cleansing your skin – you're treating it to a luxurious cocktail of moisture.
 
So let's bust a myth: the idea that soap is inherently drying for the skin? So not true with our soap bars. Thanks to the magic of glycerin and superfatting, our soap bars are anything but drying. They're like a refreshing splash of hydration for your skin, leaving it feeling soft, smooth, and utterly radiant.
 
At The Australian Natural Soap Company, we're on a mission to elevate your daily skincare routine into a luxurious, moisturising experience. That's why we've harnessed the power of naturally occurring glycerin and superfatting in our soap bars, ensuring that every wash is a moment of indulgence for your skin.
 
So, the next time you step into the shower, take a moment to revel in the wonder of glycerin and superfatting – your skin will thank you for it.
Soapy hugs,
Emma xx
