Description
“I’ve always loved traditional European cold-process soaps, which by their nature are difficult to produce and have a lot more overhead than hot-process soaps. Cold process soaps’ manner in which the soap’s moisturizing capacities feels within you rather than upon you have always been special to me. They’re like trying to get birds out of the trees, but we’ll always try to source new indie small French cold-process folks whenever possible, and perhaps best of all is that you’re quite unlikely to ever see them pop up on ‘The River of Fakes‘!” -jarrod@TSS
Your mature skin’s delivered both protection and softness thanks to the donkey milk (20%) present in this cold process soap from Louise émoi, with its delicate citrus fragrance with just a hint of nuttiness.
Note the presence of “sodium shea butterate” and “butyrospermum parkii butter” on the INCI label; the “butyrospermum parkii butter” is the unsaponified ‘superfat’ shea butter content, added *after* saponification of the alkaloids is completed, while *sodium shea butterate* is the *saponified* shea butter, which is a much more challenging piece of the puzzle. The higher up the list SSB is, the harder it is the make that soap, and the more costly.
