A plain-language guide to the ingredients you will see on a soap label and what they do.
Soap labels can look like a science exam. Here are the names you are most likely to meet.
The base
Sodium cocoate, sodium olivate, sodium shea butterate: these are simply coconut, olive and shea oil after saponification. They are the soap itself.
The extras
Glycerin: attracts moisture to skin. Aqua: water. Colorants: natural ones come from clays, turmeric or charcoal.
What to avoid
Sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS), parabens and artificial fragrance can irritate sensitive skin. If you see a long chain of unfamiliar words, it is worth asking why.
Our approach
Every Kritiveda soap lists its ingredients in plain words. No secrets, no fillers.
