Discover our recommendations and find the cold-process natural soap that will meet all your skincare needs.

Essential oils, fragrances, and colorants

Many of our natural soaps contain neither essential oils nor fragrances. Each product description includes a specific mention as to whether it is suitable for body use only and/or for which skin type. We do not recommend using soaps containing oils on babies and very sensitive skin.

Our natural soaps never contain dyes. They are naturally colored with clays, plant extracts, or iron oxides. We have eliminated all micas from our products for ethical reasons.

Natural ingredients to look for in a cold-process natural soap

All our natural soaps contain the oils and butters listed below. We ensure that our materials are ethical, eco-responsible, and organic whenever possible.

Olive oil (nourishing and rich in antioxidants)

Unscented coconut oil (moisturizing, rich in antioxidants and lauric acid - antibacterial)

Unscented raw shea butter (highly moisturizing, nourishing, and adds a sublime scent)

Sunflower oil (gentle and non-comedogenic)

To this, we add so-called luxurious oils: castor, sweet almond, avocado, etc. Each oil has its properties and brings to natural soaps that little extra that makes them irresistibly effective!

Clays provide purifying and anti-inflammatory properties to natural soaps. In addition, they form a magnificent creamy lather. We love them!

Plant extracts, such as aloe vera, calendula, or lavender, provide additional benefits to cold-process natural soaps. They can have soothing, purifying, or stimulating properties, depending on their specific characteristics.

By choosing a cold-process soap containing these quality natural ingredients, you ensure that you benefit from all the advantages of artisanal soap for your skin.

Our soaps for oily and acne-prone skin

Thanks to their purifying and antibacterial properties, these natural soaps will help deeply eliminate impurities and regulate sebum production. Your skin will be clean, fresh, and balanced. Don't forget to moisturize your skin after using a more purifying soap (yes! yes! even oily skin - and you should always moisturize your skin regardless of its texture).

For oily or blemish-prone skin, we recommend the following natural soaps:

• Plain soap without additives: moisturizing, very gentle, and neutral.
• Plant extract soap: repairing, soothing, and anti-inflammatory.
• Green or white clay soap: moisturizing, purifying, and anti-inflammatory.

Our natural exfoliating soaps

An exfoliating soap is designed to remove dead skin cells and offers several specific benefits: dead cell removal, improved skin texture, stimulated blood circulation thanks to the massaging action during the use of an exfoliating soap, which can enhance the skin's natural radiance and prevent clogged pores. By removing dead cells, exfoliation helps prevent pore blockage, which can reduce the appearance of blackheads, pimples, ingrown hairs, and other imperfections.

Our exfoliating soaps contain ingredients like coffee grounds, poppy seeds, Himalayan pink salt, or Dead Sea salt, which provide the necessary exfoliating action for these benefits. We recommend using exfoliating soaps on the body only, with the exception of Marine, Ali, and Gemma soaps. For the face, we suggest the very gentle Mussasa sugar exfoliating bar.

• Exfoliating soap: stimulates circulation and improves skin radiance.
• Ghassoul and poppy exfoliating soap: purifying, anti-inflammatory, and improves skin radiance.

We offer a wide range of natural soaps and skincare products at La Sultana Savonnerie. Our mission is to offer very high-quality products, which we use ourselves and which our families and children use. Each product is made with meticulousness and rigor.

As the founder, I make it my personal duty to source top-quality materials. When you purchase a natural soap or skincare product, you pay for the quality of the product.

We keep our packaging minimal, without added frills or small bows, as this would force us to "cut" the budget on ingredient quality.

Do not hesitate to send us an email with any questions about our products. We hope you enjoy them as much as we enjoy making them.
