Nourish Your Skin Naturally: The Power of Avocado and High Oleic Oils in Skincare
Your skin deserves the best, and with our Avocado Soap Collection, you’re not only getting the moisturizing benefits of fresh avocado purée, but also the power of high oleic oils that elevate hydration and nourishment to the next level. Handcrafted to retain the skin-loving properties of every ingredient, our avocado soaps are a luxurious way to cleanse, protect, and restore your skin's natural beauty.
🥑 Avocado: The Ultimate Skin Superfood
Avocados are a skincare secret weapon. Packed with healthy fats, vitamins E and C, and antioxidants, avocado purée in soap helps deeply hydrate and repair your skin. But we don't stop there—our avocado soaps are also enriched with high oleic oils, including both avocado and sunflower oil, which deliver extra moisturizing benefits and help lock in that hydration long after you’ve showered.

The Power of High Oleic Oils in Skincare
What makes high oleic oils so special? It's all about the concentration of oleic acid, a fatty acid that offers intense moisturization without leaving a greasy residue. In handmade soap, high oleic oils like fresh avocado, avocado oil and sunflower oil provide several key benefits:
- Deeper Hydration: High oleic oils penetrate deeply into the skin, offering long-lasting moisture that other oils can’t match.
- Superfatting for Extra Nourishment: One of the unique aspects of our cold-process soapmaking is the ability to “superfat,” which means adding more oils and butters than are necessary for saponification (the process of turning oils into soap). This leaves extra moisturizing oils in the final bar, enhancing its nourishing properties. By using high oleic oils, we ensure that our soap retains its ability to deeply condition the skin, providing a rich, luxurious lather.
- Gentle on Sensitive Skin: High oleic oils are known for their ability to soothe and calm the skin, making them perfect for sensitive or acne-prone skin types. Our unscented avocado soap is especially perfect for sensitive skin.

Our Unique Formulation: Why Cold-Process and Superfatting Matter
In cold-process soapmaking, the method allows us to retain the nutrients of each ingredient without exposing them to excess heat. This is especially important for maintaining the potency of oils like avocado and sunflower. What sets our soaps apart is superfatting—a process where we intentionally add more oils than required for the chemical reaction that turns oils into soap. This leaves behind extra oil in the bar, creating a soap that’s incredibly moisturizing and luxurious on the skin.
- Rich in Antioxidants: Spirulina, moringa, and turmeric help protect your skin from environmental stressors.
- Long-Lasting Moisture: Superfatting with high oleic oils like avocado and sunflower leaves extra moisturizing agents in the soap, giving your skin lasting hydration.
- Natural Colors from Superfoods: Our soaps get their vibrant colors from nutrient-rich ingredients like spirulina, annatto seed, and turmeric, without the need for synthetic dyes or detergents.
