Our Ingredients & Aromas
The soap kitchen's quality begins in nature
Our motto, “In harmony with nature and the human being,” represents our upholding of the highest quality and environmental conservation through every step of the value chain—from soil to product. Our products are therefore free of synthetic preservatives, fragrances, colorants and raw materials derived from mineral oils. Additionally, animal testing is not carried out by us. The soap kitchen’s products are instead full of the highest quality, pure and natural ingredients for your body. From an environmental and global sustainability perspective, one of our top priorities is to increase our share of raw materials to organic. We are convinced that these kinds of raw materials yield the highest quality for our body care products.
Storage Advice: A little reminder!
The Soap Kitchen products are all preservative-free which means
that they won’t last as long as other skincare products you’re used to.
Our beauty products have a 'shelf-life' of approximately 4-6 months, once manufactures specifications are followed. All our products are hand-mixed in small batches to ensure your product is as fresh as possible. The size of each product has been developed with this in mind. Any products opened and not finished will have limited durability.
To maintain freshness, we recommend storing our products in a cool, dark place – the fridge would be ideal. Our products do not include water, which extends the shelf life.

Cetearyl glucoside
This corn- and coconut-derived emulsifier is produced using ecologically-friendly principles, without the use of chemicals or solvents. It helps bind moisturizers together and maintain their consistency.
Cocoa butter
The cocoa tree is a tropical evergreen grown in South America and Africa. The butter is produced from the seeds of the tree’s cucumber-like fruits. Its rich, nourishing and protective properties make it particularly good for dry skin or lips.
Cranberry seed Bursting with omega 3 and antioxidants such as Vitamin C, this seed extract is an all-round skin conditioner.
Jojoba oil
Extracted from the seeds of a desert shrub, this oil helps keep skin soft and supple. Similar in composition to the skin’s natural sebum, it melts away to leave a silky smooth complexion.
Macadamia nut oil
This nourishing nut oil keeps skin soft and supple. It’s rich in palmitic acid, an oil naturally produced by our skin, which diminishes as we get older.
Rosemary antioxidant
Rosemary has powerful cleansing and revitalizing properties, which help boost circulation and skin regeneration.
Shea butter
Shea butter is extracted from the stones of the Karate tree fruit, which grows in West Africa. It has a unique natural UV protection, which has been used by the West Africans for centuries to protect their skin from the drying and damaging effects of the sun. The butter is one of nature’s best emollients (moisturizer).
Vitamin E
Naturally occurring in wheatgerm oil, this vitamin is an anti-oxidant that helps prevent wrinkles, stimulate blood circulation and regulate skin elasticity.
WaterWe use distilled water to eliminate impurities and thereby help our products stay fresh longer.
