Claya's Liquid Castile Soap is crafted by harmoniously blending three superior cleansing oils.
Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Unrefined and cold-pressed Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil offers a mild cleansing effect that prevents skin from excessive dryness. This is attributed to its unique fatty acid composition, with approximately 70% oleic acid. The presence of a kink in the fatty acid chain, prevents them from tightly stacking upon each other, enabling the oil to spread evenly and be less harsh on the skin.
Organic Unrefined Coconut Oil
The unique composition of organic coconut oil, marked by its high content of medium chain triglycerides, such as lauric acid, endows it with a remarkable ability to efficiently attract and envelop oily substances, making their removal during rinsing a breeze.
Organic Castor Bean Oil
Organic castor bean oil contributes a luxurious lathering quality to soap, due to ricinoleic acid, which makes up around 90% of its fatty acid composition. The structure of ricinoleic acid, distinguished by a kink and a hydroxyl group within its unsaturated fatty acid chain, gives it a unique characteristic. This distinctive configuration boosts the oil's polarity, converting it into a humectant with increased viscosity and superior lathering capabilities.
