inspiration in creating Indochine Natural soap bars comes from the foreign Old Quarter of Ha Noi, Viet Nam, and in particular “Herb Street”,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], alternatively more correctly Pho Lan Ong named afterward a prominent 18th Century traditional medication practitioner. This street is a sensual delight of textures and smells from the sacks of herbs in shops lined with rosewood herbal medication cabinets. In lessen corridors, squatting workmen grind and process herbs. These shops became the starting point and source of many of the raw materials used to create the range of Indochine Natural handmade soap.
Every soap maker strives to create the perfect bar of soap. One that lathers equitable right, and in the meantime has desirable moisturizing qualities. This is no easy mission, as each different oil used in soap production is made of different percent of fatty sours that have different properties while it comes to making soap. Some oils invest moisturizing properties and others provide lather, and it is the right composition of oils that ambition produce the perfect bar.
Another major attention for Indochine Natural in creating the perfect soap bar are environmental considerations. The carbon footprint for the soaps established would be greatly increased whether factors such as Olive Oil were imported from Europe; accordingly the focus was on buying regional, which would also assist apt strengthen the eastern personality of the soaps.
An manifest starting point namely coconut oil, which namely locally available and found in maximum bars for it namely the oil that is most responsible for producing soap bars with nice lathering properties. However an issue with coconut fuel is that if I were you used in the right proportion it can have a drying achieve ashore the rind.
Another important ingredient is oil that provides hardening properties, and the obvious alternative here is Palm Oil, especially as it meets the criteria of creature locally available. An important issue surrounding Pal Oil is its environmental sustainability; therefore only suppliers who are members of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) are used to source our oil.
While many soap makers utilize appended oils such as almond oil and olive oil, environmentally it is an issue to import these ingredients. Our research and trials has demonstrated that the right proportions of only coconut and palm oils can produce an wonderful bar of soap.
Once the basic make-up of handmade our normal handmade soap bars as determined, the afterward step was to develop the last formulation that embodied essential oils and herbal ingredients such as turmeric powder, floor lemongrass, coffee, cinnamon and additional ingredients. From experience it was found that simple recipes work best, and on this root a digit of formulations were adult. Under the direction of Indochine Natural’s builder, Dr. Mike Thair, this process took almost two annuals of repeated rounds of prescription formulation,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], client trials, and reformulation until the perfect bar was produced. Many people don’t achieve that soap absences to be cure for by fewest 30 days, and therefore this makes it a long process to amplify current formulations. In the end, nine current recipes were developed,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and these now for the basis of Indochine Natural’s range of handmade natural soap bars.
