Our Luxury Soap Recipes

This oil is highly moisturizing and extremely lightweight. Babassu Oil contains lauric acid, which is a fatty acid that is anti-inflammatory and can help soothe irritations, dry skin, bug bites, etc. It is also full of antioxidants that help fight free radicals in your body.

Castor Oil
Castor Oil is a staple in our soaps recipes. It is a humectant, which means it helps attract moisture to your skin, and it also helps create a bubbly lather in soaps. Castor Oil is used in every bar of soap at Light & Salt Soap Company.
Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is one of the most popular oils for natural soapmaking, and with good reason, too! It is very cleansing, has a rich lather, and produces large bubbles. It is a great moisturizer and can help to make the skin softer. Coconut oil is used in all Light & Salt Soap Company soaps.
Olive Oil
Olive Oil is a staple in soapmaking. It is moisturizing, and cleanses gently, while making a long-lasting bar of soap. Olive Oil also contains Vitamin E and antioxidants, which may help to soothe and protect the skin. It also helps with overall skin health by maintaining the skin’s natural sebum.

Rice Bran Oil
Rice bran Oil is a very luxurious, but little-known oil. It originates in Japan and is high in Vitamin E, and omega-3 fatty acids, and is able to penetrate beneath the surface layer of the skin, making it an ideal moisturizer. Rice Bran Oil has a low comedogenic rating, making it unlikely to clog pores. It also helps add a silky-smooth texture to soap! You can find Rice Bran oil in all soaps in our main line.
Shea Butter
Shea Butter is one of our favourite ingredients for a few reasons. It is non-comedogenic, which means that it won’t clog your pores! It helps to promote collagen production, and is amazing at hydrating dry skin, chapped lips, and reducing the appearance of scars. Shea Butter also has antimicrobial and antibacterial properties, as well as Vitamins E and A that help strengthen and repair skin, as well as improve the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines and age spots. You can find Shea Butter in all of our all natural soaps, as well as our whipped body butters.
