How to choose the best natural cold-process soap?
Looking for the perfect natural cold-process soap? Look no further! La Sultana is here to meet your skincare needs. In this article, we'll guide you through choosing the best cold-process soap based on your skin type, preferences, and desired benefits.
Our natural soaps are handmade using the traditional cold-process method. This method preserves the beneficial properties of the oils, butters, and plant ingredients used. The result? Gentle, nourishing, and skin-friendly soaps.
Whether you're looking for a soothing, moisturizing, purifying, or exfoliating soap, there's a natural soap perfectly suited for your skin.
Essential oils, fragrances, and colorants
Many of our natural soaps do not contain essential oils or fragrances. Each product description indicates whether the soap is suitable for the body, face, or more sensitive skin.
We do not recommend using soaps containing essential oils on babies or very sensitive skin.
Our natural soaps never contain dyes. They are naturally colored with clays, plant extracts, or iron oxides. We have also eliminated micas from our products for ethical reasons.
Natural ingredients to look for in cold-process soap
All our natural soaps contain a base of carefully selected oils and butters:
- Olive oil: nourishing and rich in antioxidants.
- Unscented coconut oil: moisturizing, rich in lauric acid and antioxidants.
- Raw shea butter: highly nourishing, emollient, and naturally comforting.
- Sunflower oil: gentle, light, and non-comedogenic.
To this, we sometimes add more luxurious oils like castor, sweet almond, or avocado. Each oil brings its own qualities and gives the soap that little extra something that makes it irresistibly pleasant to use.
Clays provide purifying virtues and help form a creamy lather. Plant extracts, such as aloe, calendula, or lavender, also add soothing, purifying, or comforting properties.
Our natural soaps for normal to combination skin
For normal to combination skin, we look for a gentle soap that helps maintain the skin's natural balance without drying it out.
- Goat milk soap: moisturizing and gentle, ideal for balancing the skin.
- Coconut milk soap: moisturizing, rich in nutrients and vitamins.
- Honey soap: soothing and moisturizing.
- Clay soap: helps cleanse the skin without being aggressive.
Our natural soaps for sensitive skin
For sensitive or easily irritated skin, it's best to choose very mild soaps, unscented or with naturally soothing ingredients.
- Donkey milk soap: moisturizing, gentle, and well-tolerated by most skin types.
- Colloidal oatmeal soap: soothing, moisturizing, and very gentle.
- Plain natural soap (no additives): neutral, moisturizing, and minimalist.
- Plant extract soap: comforting and soothing.
- Beeswax soap: emollient and protective.
Our soaps for oily and acne-prone skin
For oily or blemish-prone skin, purifying soaps are preferred, but never too stripping. It's also important to moisturize the skin after cleansing, even when it's oily.
- Plain natural soap (no additives): gentle, neutral, and non-aggressive.
- Plant extract soap: soothing and comforting.
- Green or white clay soap: purifying and balancing.
Our natural exfoliating soaps
An exfoliating soap helps remove dead skin cells, soften the skin, and improve its overall appearance. It can also help prevent clogged pores, ingrown hairs, and minor imperfections.
Our exfoliating soaps contain ingredients like coffee grounds, poppy seeds, Himalayan pink salt, or Dead Sea salt. We generally recommend using them on the body only.
- Exfoliating soap: helps smooth the skin and revive its radiance.
- Ghassoul and poppy exfoliating soap: purifying, texturizing, and invigorating.
We offer a wide range of natural soaps and handcrafted skincare products at La Sultana Savonnerie. Our mission is to provide high-quality products, meticulously designed and crafted with carefully selected raw materials.
As the founder, I make it my personal duty to choose quality ingredients. When you purchase a natural soap or a La Sultana skincare product, you are first and foremost paying for the quality of the product.
We keep our packaging to a minimum to focus our efforts where it truly matters: formulation, ingredients, and the pleasure of use.
