Lye, or sodium hydroxide, is an essential part of soap making. When fat and lye are mixed, saponification occurs. As a result glycerol forms, which has a washing effect on the soap. Thanks to our production method, no lye is left in the finished soaps.
Solasaippuoissa käytämme kosmetiikkalaatuista lipeää, josta rasvan kanssa syntyy runsaasti glyseriiniä sisältävä ja tehokkaasti puhdistava Solasaippua.
Fat is part of the base of the soap and another of the ingredients needed for saponification. In Sola soaps, we use several different vegetable oils, as they all have their own kind of effect on the essence of the soap.
Oils and fats we use:
Rypsiöljy
Hamppuöljy
Kookosöljy
Risiiniöljy
Aprikoosinsiemenöljy
Essential oils and natural ingredients bring character, aroma and healing properties to our soaps.
The nearest plants and berries to our soaps have been collected from our own yard. The products that cannot be found in the forests of North Karelia are ordered from Finnish organic producers. This is how we ensure that the ingredients are clean and that they have all the natural strength they contain.
