This combination gives us a beautiful, full, rich lather that cleans without drying your skin. You deserve to know what's coming into your home. Read more about all of the ingredients we use in our people- and planet-friendly home cleaning and body products here. Potassium Cocoate: This is the chemical name of saponified (that is, 'made into soap') coconut oil. It's the chemical that grabs onto both dirt and water to do the cleaning. Potassium Sunflowerate: This is the chemical name of the saponified sunflower seed oil. Glycerin: This substance is chemically a type of alcohol and is naturally created when the oil is converted into soap. Glycerin is known for skin-softening abilities and is an effective solvent, meaning it can dissolve substances such as stains and dirts. Organic Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil and Organic Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil : There is always some coconut and sunflower seed oils left in the soap after conversion to sodium cocoate and sodium sunflowerate. This is because we use potassium hydroxide, or lye, in the conversion process. Leaving these excess oil in the soap not only ensures there is no remaining lye in the finished product, it also gives the soap its lather and moisturizing feel. Water: Water is used in the soapmaking process as a substance that dissolves lye and then is a medium so the lye can reach all of the oil to react. After being useful in this process, the water is allowed to evaporate from the soap over a period of time, and the resulting dried tablet has very little water. There is only about 5% water remaining in the finished tablets, thus making them more shelf stable than a liquid soap that would require a preservative due to the high (about 60%) water. About the Brand Meliora is a Chicago-based company whose factory on the West Side of Chicago does everything from making soap to packaging finished products. It all started when Kate, while studying for a Masters degree in Environmental Engineering, struggled to understand what ingredients were in everyday household cleaning products such as laundry detergent. After formulating her own vegetable soap and using it to do her own laundry, she knew she could offer better products that were rooted in simple ingredients and build a company that was honest about how products are made. Meliora’s home cleaning and laundry products are MADE SAFE certified, ensuring they're as friendly for your home and the planet as possible. Meliora is a Certified B Corporation and is 1% for the planet. End of Life Once all tablets are used simply recycle or compost the paperboard box.
