FAQs

Why natural and not common commercial soap?

                                                                                       

They contain natural ingredients like natural oils, essential oils, herbs, natural colours, all of which have beneficial properties for the skin.

They do not contain synthetic chemical substances like surfactants, synthetic perfumes, thickening agents or preservatives etc.

Our liquid products are real soap and not bath foams. They do not contain chemical foaming agents or added chemical substances or artificial scents. They are made with natural oils and essential oils, primarily organic.

The glycerine that naturally occurs during the soap making process remains in the body of the natural soap, resulting in its beneficial moisturizing effects to reach the skin. Glycerine is the most popular and natural moisturizing ingredient in the industry and during the commercial soap making it is removed so that it can be sold separately as a prime ingredient for cosmetics and medicine production. The product remaining after the glycerine is removed causes dry and irritated skin.

All of our soaps, liquid and bars, are made with consideration for over-lubrication. This means that a small amount of oil or butter used to make the soap remains in the product. This lubricant element has excellent moisturizing and softening effects. This way the alkalinity of the soap helps clean the skin while the over-lubrication sooths and nourishes it.

Each product is unique. Our soaps are distinctive for their uniqueness not only due to the recipes but also due to the general aesthetic result. Unique in appearance, scent and their beneficial properties.

Our natural soaps contain primarily organic ingredients (oils, butters, essential oils, herbs and natural colours) resulting in less harmful to the skin agents. This way producers of the main supplies are encouraged to focus on organic processes and agriculture.

We have a soap for each use and need, like cleansing, mild exfoliation, exfoliation, sensitive skin, face, feet care, pet care.

Natural soap like ours contain a lot of love and dedication. By purchasing them you help small family businesses and support their efforts for innovation, creation and growth.


Which method do you use for the handmade soaps?

We use the “cold process” for our soap making, which involves processing in mild temperatures, which allows perseverance of the beneficial to the skin elements and the occurring glycerine to remain in the soap.

 

Do handmade soaps cure before being distributed?

Yes, all handmade soaps cure for at least 4 weeks before they are available for distribution. During the curing period the saponification process continues and the water content evaporates partially.

 

Why should I use Sirra Organics liquid soap for my body and face and not a common commercial shower gel or body wash that might be cheaper?

It is produced from pure organic ingredients such as extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil, jojoba oil, castor oil, essential oils, with many properties for our skin and our health.

Just like our solid handmade soaps, they are produced with "superfatting" in the recipe, with the result that the oils used and left over from the saponification process transfer their properties to our skin. Emollient, rejuvenating, antiaging, antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal properties.

They do not contain synthetic surfactants (chemical foaming agents) such as SLS, SLES, thickeners, chemical pH regulators, water softeners and other chemical ingredients, which hide many risks for our skin.

They do not contain preservatives with the known negative effects on our body. Because they contain a large percentage of glycerin in their composition, resulting in the rich hydration of our skin.

They do not contain synthetic fragrances but essential oils, which are known to have many antimicrobial, antiseptic and antifungal properties and help significantly with atopic skin and skin prone to acne and eczema.

They clean better than common shower gels and provide a more natural scent to the skin.

They are suitable for all skin types and for daily use. Because they are dermatologically tested and two of them dermatologically tested on sensitive skin.

They are suitable for face and body. Because even if they are a bit more expensive, if we finally take into account all of the above and the value/money ratio, we have a winner, which is Sirra Organics Liquid Soap and not the common commercial products.

 

Why use essential oils and not common perfumes?

         

We produce simple, pure and natural products.

Essential oils are natural ingredients of aromatic plants and herbs, made by distilling.

In addition to their perfume they also provide many other properties (antimicrobial, antifungal, antiseptic).

The common perfumes used in most other products are mainly synthetics attempting to imitate the essential oils’ perfume.

All Sirra Organic’s products contain essential oils, the majority of which are certified organic products and not synthetics.
