The History of Soap.From a remedy to a personal hygiene article.

The history of soap goes back to the ancient world. As early as 4,500 years ago,

the Sumerians in Mesopotamia produced the first soaps from potassium carbonate

(obtained from burned fir cones and date palms), calcium carbonate and fat (mainly

suet). This precursor of our todays soap, produced by boiling the raw materials at

high temperatures, was used as a remedy for bodily injuries.

In the 2nd century the Roman physician Galenius used soap as a remedy and

cleaning agent. Gauls and Teutons appreciated it as decorative cosmetics and for

bleaching and pomade-treatment of the hair. The use of soap for cleaning the body

became accepted later.

In the 7th century the Arabians in Syria produced the first compact soaps, which

resembled our todays curd soap, from olive oil and ashes.

In Europe the soap began its triumphant progress in the 8th century. It was in parti-

cular high esteem in Italy, Spain, and France. The designation soap is presumably

derived from the Italian town of Savona or from Mount Sapo.

In the Middle Ages, highly afflicted by epidemics, the peoples misbelief that a body

cleaned by washing (and thus unprotected) was an ideal point of entry for patho-

gens temporarily put a sudden end to the triumphant progress of the soap. Even

the nobility frowned upon washing themselves and replaced washing by applying

powder and perfumes.

The first soap boiler mentioned in records was Cre scas Davin in the 14th century, who

produced his soap in Marseille. At that time Marseille emerged as a leading Mediterra-

nean soap metropolis; Savon de Marseille is world-famous up to this very day. In the

15th century they changed from manual production to industrial production due to a

better understanding of hygiene and the resulting considerably increased demand.

For about 150 years, caustic soda has been used for soap production instead of

ashes and coconut or palm kernel oil, enabling the so-called cold process allowing

producing soaps at low temperatures. The advantages of the cold process are the

preservation of valuable vitamins and the natural glycerin from vegetable oils.

Nowadays soaps are mainly produced by saponification of fatty acids. In the first step

vegetable oils like palm, pal m kernel, or coconut oil are splitted i nto fatty acids and

glycerin by applying water steam and pressure. Through the splitting and subsequent

distillation odours being unpleasant for humans are eliminated. In the second reaction

step the desired fatty acid mix is neutralised by means of caustic soda.

Toilet Soap Noodles

Raw materials

Toilet Soap Noodles are made by neu-

tralisation of fatty acids, being obtained

100 % from splitting of vegetable oils.

We use palm oil and palm kernel oil as

raw materials.

Properties

Depending on requirements, our

portfolio includes soap noodles with a

proportion of free fatty acids or alkali

soap noodles. Whilst the soap noodles

containing free fatty acids make for a

particularly pleasant skin feel thanks to

their lipid-regulating properties, alkalisoap noodles distinguish by their solidity

and are thus particularly suited for soap

bars with a high content of additives.

Further quality features of soap noodles

are the composition of fatty acids and

the content of total fatty matter that can

be varied depending on requirements.

Generally, all variants are perfectly

suited for the production of fine soaps

of any kind.

Origin

The basis for the fatty acids used is palm

and palm kernel oil from Asia. Since we

are aware of our ecological responsibility,

we import our raw materials exclusively

from members of the RSPO4), being a

member of this organisation ourselves.

Preservative free Soap Noodles

Raw materials

Preservative free Soap Noodles are

made by neutralisation of fatty acids,

being obtained 100 % from splitting of

vegetable oils. We use palm oil and

palm kernel oil as raw materials. We do

completely without preservatives like

EDTA1), EHDP2), and BHT3). However,to guarantee a sufficient shelf life, we

use a vegetable chelating agent.

Properties

Usually conventional soap noodles

contain chelating agents like EDTA and

EHDP as well as antioxidants like BHT.

In Preservative free Soap Noodles we

have done without these ingredients

and replaced them by alternative vege-

table additives. Moreover, the proportionof free fatty acids makes for a particu-

larly pleasant skin feel thanks to their

lipid-regulating properties. Preservative

free Soap Noodles are particularly suited

for producing high-quality soaps which

are as gentle to humans as they are to

the environment.

Origin





from members of the RSPO, being a

Palm free Soap Noodles

Raw materials

Palm free Soap Noodles are obtained

from saponification of rape seed, sunflo-

wer and coconut oil. We do completely

without preservatives like EDTA, EHDP,

and BHT. However, to guarantee a

sufficient shelf life, we use a vegetable

chelating agent.

Properties

In view of the constantly increasing

demand for domestic raw materials we

would like to present our Palm free Soap

Noodles as an equal-quality alternative

to conventional soap noodles based on

palm oil. Palm free Soap Noodles are

particularly suited for the production ofhigh-quality soaps that distinguish from

mass-market products by their alternati-

ve raw materials.

Origin

Rape seed and sunflower oil, being

the main ingredients of Palm free Soap

Noodles, originate from Europe whereas

the coconut oil comes from Asia.

Organic Soap Noodles

Properties

Thanks to using vegetable oils certified

by ECOCERT, Organic Soap Noodles

are particularly suited for the produc-

tion of high-quality bio soap for natural

cosmetics. Soap being produced from

our Organic Soap Noodles may be

called Savon de Marseille since it isproduced in line with ancient soap boiler

tradition from pure vegetable oils. During

the saponification process a high pro-

portion of glycerin remains in the soap

as a natural moisturiser which gives a

particularly pleasant skin feel when using

the soap.

Origin

Thanks to a long-standing partnership

with the Daabon Group in Colombia we

were able to personally assure oursel-

ves of the used raw materials being

cultivated on environmentally friendly

plantations that have not been created

by rain forest clearance. Moreover,Daabon is aware of their social respon-

sibility and make available a certain

percentage of their export turnover as

funds for social products in Santa Marta.

Raw materials

As raw materials for the Organic Soap

Noodles we use exclusively Colombian

palm and palm kernel oil from certified

organic cultivation. We do completely

without preservatives like EDTA, EHDP,

and BHT. However, to guarantee a

sufficient shelf life, we use a vegetablechelating agent.


5/9

Raw materials

High Glycerin Soap Noodles are made

by neutralisation of fatty acids, being ob-

tained 100 % from splitting of vegetable

oils. We use palm oil and p alm kernel oil

as raw materials.

Properties

Thanks to their high glycerin content of

approx. 7 %, High Glycerin Soap Nood-

les have a plasticising effect and thus

are particularly suited for the production

of shaped soap or soaps that are

sold without packaging since they are

less prone to fissures and dents (anti-shock effect). Moreover, glycerin acts as

a natural moisturiser in the soap and ma-

kes for a particularly pleasant skin feel.

High Glycerin Soap NoodlesShea Soap Noodles

Raw materials

Shea Soap Noodles are made by neu-

tralisation of fatty acids, being obtained

100 % from splitting of vegetable oils.

Besides palm oil and palm kernel oil

we use 10% refined shea butter as raw

materials. We do completely without

preservatives like EDTA, EHDP, and BHT.However, to guarantee a sufficient shelf

life, we use a vegetable chelating agent.

Properties

Shea Soap Noodles make for a parti-

cularly high proportion of shea butter

in the soap that could not be achieved

otherwise in soap production. Thus

skin-caring and curative properties of

the shea butter are preserved. Shea

Soap Noodles are particularly suited forthe production of high-quality soap with

a verifiable skin caring effect. There is no

need to add further active ingredients or

skin-caring agents.

Origin







We import the raw shea butter directlyfrom a co-operative in Burkina Faso at

fair prices before it is physically refined

at our works.

Olive Soap Noodles

Raw materials

Olive Soap Noodles are obtained from

saponification of palm, coconut and a

high proportion of olive oil. We do com-

pletely without preservatives like EDTA,

EHDP, and BHT. However, to guarantee

a sufficient shelf life, we use a vegetable

chelating agent.

Properties

Among all oils, olive oil is considered to

be a particularly skin-friendly one, since

its composition resembles that of the

human skin. The ancient soap boilers

already produced their soaps traditio-

nally from olive oil. Thanks to the high

content of olive oil in our soap noodlesthe curative and skin-caring effects are

preserved. Thus they are particularly sui-

ted for the production of soaps for dry

and sensitive skin. Soap being produced

from our Olive Soap Noodles may be

called Savon de Marseille since it is

produced in line with ancient soap boiler

tradition from pure vegetable oils.

Origin







We order the olive oil used exclusively atEuropean suppliers.

Shaving Soap Noodles

Raw materials

Shaving Soap Noodles are opaque

Soap Noodles being obtained from

saponification of palm and coconut oil

as well as stearic acid. For the saponi-

fication process we use both caustic

soda and caustic potash.

Origin

The basis for the oils used is palm and

palm kernel oil from Asia. Since we are

aware of our ecological responsibility,




Properties

Through additional use of caustic potash

in the saponification process, Shaving

Soap Noodles are especially smooth

and high-foaming. This is why they are

perfectly suited for the production of

high-quality shaving soap. The high con-

tent of stearic acid makes for a particu-larly stable and creamy foam and thus

for a gentle shave that leaves a pleasant

skin feel. Shaving Soap can be extruded

on a customary production line without

requiring special additional effort.

Melt & Pour Soap

Application

With Melt & Pour Soap, you can produ-

ce individual and high-quality soap bars

without needing special equipment or

detailed knowledge. Melt & Pour Soap

is delivered in blocks of different sizes,

which are then heated in the water

quench. After melting, any additives, like,for example, special active ingredients

or skin-caring agents, colourants, or

flavours can be added before the soap

mass is poured into the desired shape

and can immediately be used after

cooling. The skys the limit for creativity

regarding colours, shapes, flavours and

other additives. Melt & Pour Soap is also

particularly suited for the production of

smaller production batches.

Translucent Soap Noodles

Raw materials

Translucent Soap Noodles are made by

neutralisation of fatty acids, being ob-

tained 100 % from splitting of vegetable

oils. We use palm oil and p alm kernel oil

as raw materials.

Properties

Translucent Soap Noodles are particu-

larly suited for the production of trans-

lucent soaps in a variety of colours and

shapes. The goods can be extruded on

a customary production line without

requiring special additional effort. The

high glycerin content in TranslucentSoap Noodles makes for a particularly

pleasant skin feel thanks to its moisturi-

sing properties.

Soap Production.Step by step to finished soap.

First the soap noodles are mixed with approx. 26% perfume, colourants, active

ingredients or other additives as evenly as possible. To achieve a homogeneous

mass, the mix of raw materials has to pass one or more kneading and rolling mill(s)

in the second step before the soap mass is extruded to a strand by a moulding

press. This strand is then cut into soap blanks with the desired length that are

pressed to their final shape in the last step and are provided with any logo you like.

The finished soap bars can then immediately be packed and are ready for dispatch.
