Sodasan soaps are made in the traditional way, with an organic oil base; they are scented with organic essential oils (if available) and plant extracts.
They are coloured with plant dyes and mineral pigments. They are “superfatted”, containing 1 to 2% organic non-saponified shea butter, to re-grease the skin.
The essential oils, dyes and shea are added cold, after saponification.

Fragrance: Cinnamon-Orange
Cinnamon: Spicy, tonic, warming. Essential oil obtained from the leaves of the cinnamon tree.
Orange: Cheerful, light, invigorating. Essential oil obtained by cold expression of the zest.

Brand : Sodasan

Ingredients: soap paste made from organic palm and coconut* oils, organic shea butter*, essential oils (1-2%), food colourings.

INCI ingredients: Sodium palmate*, sodium cocoate*, sodium chloride, glycerin*, aqua, butyrospermum parkii*, parfum (essential oils)
*from organic farming 98%, certified by ECOCONTROL.

Characteristics:
No synthetic colouring agent.

How is soap made? Making soap is easy and magical! In just a few steps, the (plant or animal) oil changes into foaming soap. This technique has been used by humans for thousands of years.
Oil+alkaline solution+heat= soap+glycerin. All oils are made of glycerin and fatty acids. The fatty acid reacts with an alkaline detergent (sodium hydroxide) to form a fatty acid salt.
The result is commonly called “soap”.
Chemical definition of this reaction: soap is the product resulting from the alkaline hydrolysis of a fatty acid. By-product: glycerin.

Let us now explain the transformation of soap, to allow you to compare Sodasan soaps’ saponification with the making of common soap:

Raw materials

Common soapmaking uses many types of fats: from plant or animal origin. Even used cooking fats can be saponified (which requires large amounts of dyes and synthetic fragrances to obtain an acceptable result).

Common soapmaking: in great 10.000 to 40.000 L cauldrons, oils are mixed with lye and heated between 120 and 130°C. The pressure can go up several bars to accelerate saponification. Glycerin (10 times the price of soap) is extracted and sold seperately. It requires to be washed several times.

Common soapmaking: synthetic colouring agents, fragrances, preservatives, EDTA complexant (that slows down drying, very difficultly biodegradable), optical brighteners (allergenic, polluting), PEGs… all can be added, as all are authorised. Therefore common soapmaking can embellish a product made from the cheapest raw materials.

Sodasan uses only organic vegetable oils (coconut, palm), certified by Ecocert.

Transformation

Sodasan uses the same process, in a small cauldron gently heated to 70°C and without pressure. The cooking is slow, with a progressive rise in heat.
Sodasan practices traditional saponification, ‘cauldron by cauldron’. Glycerin (around 3%), a natural moisturiser, remains in the soap to improve it.
Sodasan soap is made with 82% oils.

Additives

Sodasan adds very few ‘additives’ to the basic soap: essential oils and plant extracts (all organic, if available) for the fragrance, organic shea butter to regrease the skin, and plant or mineral pigments to colour the soap. All these ingredients are added after the cooking, with cold kneading, to prevent their deterioration by heat. This process is usually only for luxury soaps.
