Superfatted soap is in fashion

For the sake of the planet and skin health, more and more people are choosing natural soap. Currently, we hear a lot about superfatted soap , and it can be found everywhere: in organic shops, supermarkets, pharmacies, etc., but what is it exactly?

What is meant by superfatted soap?

Superfatted soap is made using the same manufacturing principle as conventional soap, except it contains more vegetable fats. During cold saponification, the fatty acids remain intact, unlike conventional soap, which 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 composition, it provides the skin with everything it needs without making it greasy. It does not contain any chemical ingredients. Like conventional soap, superfatted soap foams upon 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... 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 production does not require a lot of energy, as it is handmade. It is important to know that the energy required to make traditional soap involves making the vegetable butters liquid by heating them and initiating the saponification reaction with a blender. Biodegradable, cold-process soap has no impact on the planet. Packaging is minimal, and in most cases, superfatted soap is packaging-free. It is the perfect alternative for embarking on the zero-waste concept. It is also economical. Unlike liquid soap, it lasts longer, 2 or 3 times longer than shower gel. It is therefore more environmentally friendly. During use, there is no waste.

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