INGREDIENTS
ilo ORGANICS select quality food-grade plant oils for use in our handcrafted soaps for their conditioning benefits offered to the skin. Different plant oils provide handcrafted soaps with varying qualities of hardness, smell and lather. The achieved lather can range from tiny, slippery long-lasting bubbles (as with olive oil soap), to big, fluffy, short-lived bubbles (as with coconut oil soap).
Commercially produced soaps are based on petrochemicals, and are further chemically buffered to produce those qualities in soap. Our bodies were never meant to process petrochemicals, and 60% of chemicals are absorbed through the skin. The skin represents the largest organ of the human body. Your skin will respond to the natural conditioning lather provided by any of ilo ORGANICS handcrafted organic soaps, and reward you with naturally moisturised skin.
ilo ORGANICS presents a range of handcrafted soaps which are simply based on mild, soothing oils to nurture the skin whilst gently cleansing it. There are no added chemicals, colours or fragrances. The selected oils produce a softer soap. We do not believe in adding other cheaper oils (such as palm oil, on ethical grounds) to make the soap more durable. We believe that the durability of our handcrafted soaps is not impacted on if the soap is cared for - by keeping it well drained and aired on an appropriate soap drainer.
CERTIFIED ORGANIC OILS
The plant oils used in ilo ORGANICS soaps are produced from certified organic crops - grown without the use of synthetic chemicals, fertilizers or GMO’s. The oils are extracted through hydraulic cold pressing - without the use of heat or chemical solvents. The oils are certified in Australia by either ACO or NASAA.

Check INGREDIENTS list for allergens before using soap. Avoid contact with eyes. Do not ingest. The sea salt content of ‘salti’ soap might cause stinging to mucus membranes (eyes, nose, mouth) - use with care. Soaps are best used within 12 months of the manufacture date printed on soap labels. Some discolouration may become evident as oils arise to the soap surface due to evaporation and temperature variations.
