Superfatted soap is in fashion

For the respect of the planet and the health of the skin, more and more people have chosen natural soap. Currently, we hear a lot about superfatted soap , and we find it everywhere: in organic shops, in supermarkets, in pharmacies…, but what is it exactly?

What is meant by superfatted soap?

The manufacturing of superfatted soap follows the same manufacturing principle as conventional soap, except that it contains more vegetable fats. During cold saponification, the fatty acids remain intact unlike conventional soap, and this is why it is called "superfatted". This type of soap is preferable to industrial soap because the vegetable oils are not heated, thus retaining all their benefits. Due to its compositions, it provides the skin with everything it needs without greasing it. It does not contain any chemical ingredients. Like conventional soap, superfatted soap foams on contact with water.

Superfatted soap, excellent for the skin

Enriched with oil, particularly superfatting agents, the superfatted soap cleanses, softens and repairs the skin of the body and face while leaving a protective film thanks to natural glycerin. Its use does not alter this protective film, it nourishes, protects and preserves the epidermis due to the presence of nutritive agents. In addition, due to its low pH, the superfatted soap is suitable for all skin types, even acne-prone, atopic, sensitive, reactive and allergy-prone skin. It is therefore a soap suitable for the whole family. It also protects against external aggressions, which is why it is ideal in winter when the skin is subjected to changes in temperature, wind, cold, etc. In summer, its use fights against chlorine and salt from the swimming pool.

Superfatted soap, excellent for the environment

In addition to its benefits for skin health, superfatted soap is also excellent for the environment. Its manufacture does not require a lot of energy, because it is made by hand. You should know that the energy required to make classic soap involves making the vegetable butters liquid by heating them and starting the saponification reaction with a mixer. Biodegradable, cold saponified soap has no impact on the planet. The packaging is minimal, and in most cases, superfatted soap is packaging-free. It is the perfect alternative to get started in the zero waste concept. But let's also note that it is economical. Unlike liquid soap, it lasts longer, 2 or 3 times longer than a shower gel. It is therefore more environmentally friendly. When using it, there is no waste.

Superfatted soap is one of the more natural alternatives for a more planet-friendly and skin-friendly lifestyle, just like the high-end products from the French brand Caliquo. Take a moment and discover everything this zero-waste store has to offer.
