What is sensitive skin?
Sensitive skin is prone to tightness, inflammation, and redness. An individual with oily, combination, or dry skin may experience sensitised skin at certain points in their life. Discomfort sensations arise in response to stimuli: an inflammatory reaction following contact with irritating chemical substances, stress, hormonal factors, the sun, or even temperature variations. The choice of skincare is important to avoid exacerbating irritations and redness. Our skincare routine helps to soothe discomfort sensations and nourish the skin. We invite you to discover our saponified soap designed to soothe sensitive and reactive skin.
Calming cleansing soap with shea butter.
Our cold-process soap contains 8% superfat. Cold-process saponification is a traditional manufacturing method that allows the benefits of the ingredients used to be preserved. Indeed, the vegetable oils used are not heated, thus maintaining their moisturising, soothing, or nourishing properties. Cold-process soaps are incorporated into our skincare routine as they allow us to benefit from the properties of the oils used in their production.
Our shea butter soap is suitable for sensitive and reactive skin types. It contains organic olive oil, organic coconut oil, organic sunflower oil, and organic shea butter. Olive oil is known for its ability to soothe redness, while coconut oil calms and nourishes the skin. Shea butter nourishes, repairs, and soothes weakened skin. As it does not contain any essential oils, this soap can be used by pregnant women.
Our shea butter soap is suitable for both face and body use. Moisten your skin, lather the soap in your hands, then apply the soap to your skin, gently massaging it in. This gentler soap does not irritate the skin due to its high superfat content. Rinse thoroughly in case of contact with the eyes.
Why opt for a superfatted soap?
Our cold-process cleansing care contains 8% superfat and is packed with nourishing and soothing oils. It's worth noting that saponification is the process that transforms a fatty substance into soap through a reaction with lye. Superfat is the excess of vegetable oils that has not reacted with the lye. This pure and active oil hydrates the skin and helps to preserve its hydrolipidic film.
Our soothing cleansing soap is suitable for sensitive skin prone to redness. It allows you to benefit from the calming and moisturising properties of shea butter, olive oil, coconut oil, and sunflower oil. Our soap contains 100% naturally sourced ingredients and is handcrafted in France.
