Yes, they contain it, but only the glycerin that occurs naturally as a by-product of the saponification process, and we do not artificially add it to the soap.

Glycerin is commonly added to products due to its ability to moisturize the skin. Always investigate its origin. It can be plant-based (oils), synthetic (petroleum), or animal-based (fats).

High-quality soap made by the cold process method is the best choice for several reasons:

1. Liquid soaps contain foaming agents, preservatives, and other unnecessary synthetic ingredients that are not essential for cleansing.
2. Thanks to its pure composition, solid soap does not wash away the skin's protective barrier and does not unnecessarily irritate it. Our soaps do not dry out.
3. From an ecological perspective, solid soap is a great zero-waste option.
4. Solid soap won't spill anywhere and is an excellent travel companion.

Although it may surprise some, the beautiful colors and decorations of our soaps are truly achieved using only natural ingredients. In our soaps, you will find ground coffee, cocoa powder, fruit (apple) or vegetable (carrot, pumpkin) purée, and zinc oxide gives the soaps their white color. All those playful and vibrant colors that make our soaps so special are mineral pigments.

Mineral pigments include:

- mineral dye mica (which is actually muscovite)
- iron oxides
- ultramarine derived from the mineral lazurite for over 2,000 years
- zinc oxide, which also has astringent and antiseptic properties and promotes wound healing

On the top of the soaps, known as the tops, you will find various decorations:

- edible ingredients such as coffee beans, poppy seeds, oats, salt
- herbs and flowers
- biodegradable glitter made from cellulose - these add a lot of sparkle but do not harm the environment. A clear choice for us!

All our soaps are vegan. You can always find this information listed for each product.

Soap belongs to the so-called amphiphilic substances, which possess both lipophilic and hydrophilic properties. Therefore, soap contains molecules of dual nature. Hydrophilic molecules are attracted to water but repelled by fats and proteins. In contrast, lipophilic molecules repel water and bind to oils and impurities on the skin. Dirt is trapped in the soap lather and washed away along with the soap from the skin.

Our soaps are handmade using the traditional cold process method – by mixing high-quality vegetable oils with an alkaline component (sodium hydroxide mixed in distilled water).

The soap mixture resembles pudding, which thickens over time or with stirring. We color the mixture and pour it into molds according to the design requirements of the soap, allowing it to set until the next day.

A chemical reaction occurs, resulting in the formation of salts of the respective oils (which is why you will find oils listed as "sodium -ate" in the ingredients - for example, olivate). Therefore, sodium hydroxide does not remain in the soap; it transforms into another chemical compound.

After being removed from the mold, the soap is cut and must be left to cure for several weeks - during this time, residual water evaporates, causing the soap to harden and become firm. It can only be sold after this period.

We use original raw materials for production, meaning no prefabricated semi-finished products. Only in this way can we guarantee high quality and complete transparency. You will not find soap flakes, foaming agents, preservatives, salt, soda, or synthetic glycerin in our soap.
