Sabun Frequently Asked Questions
What is natural soap? Is Sabun Natural?
Sabun is a natural soap - Natural soaps do not contain any artificial ingredients, harmful chemicals or perfumes. Many soaps contain synthetic preservatives, fragrances, colours , emulsifiers and other ingredients – some of which many people are allergic to such as Tetrasodium EDTA, DEA, BHT, formaldehyde, and lanolin which are known skin irritants.
Many commercial soaps are made from animal tallow or fats – look for the ingredient sodium tallowate on the label. Animal fats block the skins pores.
Sabun is not made from any animal fats but just olive and laurel oils - it contains 80% olive oil which serves as a natural humectant for the skin - helping the skin to retain its moisture and olive oil doesn’t block the skins - it lets it breathe.
Is sabun ok to use on eczema?
