Suitable for hands, face, and body. Made from 100% certified organic vegetable oils. 100% biodegradable.
The oils and essentials oils used for these liquid soaps are 100% derived from certified organic cultivation or collection from wild-growing plants. The organic coconut oil is obtained by small farms on the Philippines in the regions of Davao and Agusan. The coconut palm trees are being cultivated in a mixture with other crops on fields no larger than 5 ha. The organic olive oil originates from the Mediterranean region of Northern Tunisia.
A mild, nourishing, liquid soap with the soothing, clear scent of pure lavender.

Biodegradability
Soap made from vegetable oils has the unique property that, right after its use, it reacts chemically with the limescale always present in waste water, forming calcium soap. As a result, the surfactant effect of the soap is being neutralized (primary degradation). This primary degradation takes place within a few hours. Subsequently the calcium soap is, by microorganisms, 100 % decomposed into carbon dioxide and water (secondary degradation). Ethanol reintegrates into the natural cycle within a few hours. Apart from natural glycerine released from the oils during saponification, we add plant-based glycerine which binds moisture. Despite the fact that during the manufacturing of sugar surfactants, constituents are being extracted from the plant-based raw materials starch, sugar, and fat, they remain completely intact in their natural molecular structure. For this reason it is relatively easy for the microorganisms to 100 % decompose these surfactants rapidly.
Soap and sugar surfactant are classified as being readily biodegradable according to OECD guidelines.
