Great question! You can’t have true soap without using lye. Lye is wha triggers the chemical reaction that turns the base oils into actual soap. This process is called saponification and takes roughly 12 hours to occur. Once the soap has completed all of its’ chemical phases, you then have saponified oils with no lye remaining. Voilà!
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 OF our fragrances are IFRA certified. The International Fragrance Association (IFRA) is a global trade organization that sets standards for the safe use of fragrances in consumer products. The IFRA standards are based on scientific evidence and consumer insights. These 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!
