We make our milk soaps the old fashioned way which is called “Cold Process Soap Making”. We start with a bunch of oils and fresh milk, add an alkali and this turns those oils into “Saponified Oils”. The scientific names for Saponified Palm Oil (which we source from sustainable plantations which are usually former rubber plantations) is Palm Acid and Sodium Palmate

Note. A lot of people are asking why don't we switch to a different oil as Palm Oil plantations often go in following rainforrest logging.  We use certified RSPO Palm Oil which is from old plantations in our milks soaps. If we stopped using certified sustainable oils and switched to Soy Bean oil (which is responsible for far more rain forrest destruction than Palm Oil), we just don't see how that could be a good thing for the environment. Good for marketing sure. In fact, if the whole world banned all palm oil tomorrow, the destruction of the forest would go on as there are a variety of crops that can be grown there, usually Soybean, as well as the illegal logging. In our opinion, it would be better to focus on doing something constructive. There needs to be a system where EVERY natural ingredient is tracked to make sure it is from a sustainable source or else Palm Oil will simple be replaced by another crop that is not in the media. This is already happens with timber using the Forrest Stewardship Foundation. "Ban palm oil" is an easy cause to latch onto and get some PR, but we don't believe it actually helps at all. Certianly switching from a certified sustainable oil to a non certified different oil doesn't help, except for marketing. Effort should be put into tracking all ingredients sources. (Most people arent aware that some Cocoa Butter comes from slave labour sources for example).
