Soap is primarily used to cleanse and then wash off. Fragrances are additives that are unnecessary and, for some, cause skin irritation. If you're interested, we have a fairly verbose explanation found here.
No. We do not use any palm oil in our soaps. Though there are some claims that palm oils can be sustainable, we have decided to exclude this oil from our products. Less is 100% palm oil free!
Soap cannot be made without a caustic soda or lye. It's a necessary ingredient that is used in the process of making all soap and without it there would be no soap. However, once the soap has fully saponified, there is no lye left. The lye is consumed during a process whereby the oils are combined with the caustic soda to cause a chemical reaction that completely consumes the lye and leaves only soap and any additional unsaponifed oils. The additional oils that are left over after the process of saponification occurs are called super fat by soapers.
