**STAFF FAVORITE

It’s the coconut. Once saponified into soap, the fatty molecules in coconut attract the fatty molecules in stains, encircling and trapping them with a molecular bond, pulling them down the drain with the wash water.  The glycerin helps loosen and pull dirt down too and is the result of saponification, as well.

NERD ALERT: MORE INGREDIENT INFORMATION

Coconut Oil is the base vegetable oil used for soaps. Using only coconut oils results in a long-lasting, hard bar that is great for cleaning.

Sodium Cocoate: This is the chemical name of saponified (that is, 'made into soap') coconut oil. It's the chemical that grabs onto both dirt and water to do the cleaning.EWG certified 1, the best level.

Glycerin: This substance is chemically a type of alcohol and is naturally created when the oil is converted into soap. Glycerin is known for skin-softening abilities and is an effective solvent, meaning it can dissolve substances such as stains and dirt. 

Organic Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil: There is a small amount of coconut oil left in the soap after conversion to sodium cocoate. This is because we use sodium hydroxide, or lye, in the conversion process and leaving excess oil ensures there is no remaining lye in the finished product. Some soapmakers refer to this as 'superfatting' and more oil remaining results in a softer, more moisturizing bar. Our coconut soap bars have only a small amount of excess oil, so they are not the luxurious body bar type and more of a 'get the job done' type.

Water: Water is used in the soapmaking process as a substance that dissolves lye and then is a medium so the lye can reach all of the oil to react. After being used in this process, the water is allowed to evaporate from the soap over a period of several weeks, and the resulting dried bar has very little water. There is only about 5% water remaining in the finished bars, thus making them more shelf-stable than a liquid soap that would require a preservative due to the high (about 60%) water concentration.
