Oil's We Use our High Quality Ingredients

OILS WE USE

The oil's, butters and ingredients we use at Florida Man Soap, in order, for soap bar's are:

  1. Olive Oil
  2. Coconut Oil
  3. Babassu Oil
  4. Shea Butter
  5. Castor Oil
  6. Tocopherol (natural, not synthetic) T50 Vitamin E
  7. Kaolin Clay
  8. Fragrance Oil/Essential Oil
  9. Mica

Our skin absorbs things readily. Ingredient's matter.

We use Olive Oil as not only the majority ingredient, but its significantly more than the other ingredients.

  • Olive Oil has amazing conditioning properties. This helps to provide conditioning and moisturization; mitigating over-cleaning and over-drying. Which is the opposite of Palm Oil.

We do NOT use Palm. Instead, we use Babassu. Babassu is lower on the comedogenic scale, its less harsh in terms of over-cleansing, and is more similar to coconut with amazing skin friendly properties and lather.

  • Palm Oil when saponified is strong on the cleansing and will dry your skin out. You don't want that, right?
  • We want to help save our rainforests; adventure is in the jungle

    Coconut and Babassu are made up of properties which in some ways compare to Palm, however, they are not contributing to the downfall of rainforests and two, both are more nourishing for your skin. We use a reduced amount of both Coconut and Babassu than typical soap as well, and when mixed with Olive, Shea and Castor, gives the perfect lather, perfect cleaning, without over-drying.

    We aim for balance.

    Shea Butter - Is the ingredient that, in a way, helps bridge all the others together. Help's keep the bar hard, provides conditioning, and helps protect the skin.

    Castor Oil - Its primary job we use it for is a more stable lather. To provide creamy, bubbly lather. This oil assist's in providing the luxury spa treatment every man deserves.

    Tocopherol - Vitamin E is amazing for the skin, it is mixed with the other oil's and helps with lather.

    Fragrance Oil/Essential Oil - We use "clean" fragrances and essential oils. See our blog page on clean fragrance to learn more.

    Kaolin Clay - It helps with the conditioning of the oil's, it assist's in the cleaning properties, help's with skin impurities.

    Mica - This is a naturally-derived colorant.
