Great question! You can’t have true soap without using lye. However, the lye is what we use to trigger the chemical reaction that turns the base oils into actual soap. This process is called saponification and takes about 12 hours. Once the soap has completed all of its’ chemical phases you then have saponified oils with no lye remaining.
FAQ
Is there lye in your soap?
Why do you state fragrance on your ingredients panel?
This is one of the most asked questions we’ve gotten since Kuhdoo was established in 2013! There is much misinformation out there about toxic fragrance, essential oils, labeling and ingredients. So, let us clear that up! For most people “fragrance” may as well be a four-letter word, and we certainly understand why. In the past, fragrance has been a label word used as a blanket term covering up all sorts of harmful toxic ingredients, and technically still can be today. However, it’s always important to know your maker because not all “fragrance” is created equally. All Kuhdoo fragrances are non-toxic, paraben, phthalate, and SLS free. In addition, all our fragrances are IFRA certified. The IFRA is a global trade organization that sets standards for the safe use of fragrances in consumer products. The IFRA’s standards are based on scientific evidence and consumer insights. The IFRA’s standards ban, limit, or set criteria for the use of certain ingredients. The standards are comprehensive, responsive, and global. Trust that any product you get from Kuhdoo have been made with premium, non-toxic oils that are a result of what I like to call green chemistry. We carefully review safety data sheets on all fragrances used here at Kuhdoo to ensure our products have everything you want, and nothing you don’t in them!

What is the base of your soap?
All Kuhdoo soaps are formulated with plant-based oils such as coconut, avocado or olive oils along with natural butters of shea and cocoa. You will see as you browse through the soaps that each soap has its own recipe! Some bars are crafted with coconut milk for a rich a creamy lather, while others are made with goats’ milk, almond milk, or hemp milk to complement each bar individually. All these amazing ingredients from Mother Nature bring benefits to your body.
