Role in soap |
|
Organic Coconut oil |
Saponified coconut oil is a powerful cleanser, can cut through tough grease, and it produces a fluffy, abundant, and stable lather. |
|
Citric Acid |
Citric Acid acts as a crucial chelating agent in solid dish soap, binding with hard water minerals (calcium and magnesium) to prevent soap scum, boost lather, and enhance cleaning power. |
|
Soy Wax |
Because Soy wax is high in stearic acid, it helps create a dense, long-lasting bar that holds up better in water compared to soap made with oils alone.It also helps to provide a stable, creamy lather. |
|
Orange essential Oil |
Orange essential oil acts as a powerful natural degreaser, breaking down stubborn grease and removing sticky residue from dishes. High degreasing power due to the high levels of limonene. It provides a fresh, uplifting citrus scent. |
Trying to decide between beeswax solid dish soap and soy wax solid dish soap?
In solid dish soap, soy wax is generally superior for enhancing performance by providing a harder, longer-lasting bar with a dense, creamy, and stable lather. Beeswax increases bar hardness but adds limited lathering benefits and is more expensive.
Soy wax in Dish Soap
- Performance: Creates a very hard, durable bar with a "shaving-cream" like, stable lather.
- Benefits: Affordable, plant-based, vegan, and reduces warping/shrinkage in soap bars.
- Downside: Low cleansing power on its own, so it requires blending with high-cleansing oils like coconut oil.
Beeswax in Dish Soap
- Performance: Significantly increases bar hardness, helping the soap last longer and not melt quickly in water.
- Benefits: Natural, non-toxic, and creates a dense texture.
- Downside: More expensive, not vegan, and does not add significant foaming/cleaning power.
