Ingredients explained

One of our goals here at DromeDairy is to be completely transparent about what goes into our products. Here you find a complete list of all the high quality ingredients we use and an explanation of what all those science-y terms actually mean and why they are so good for you!

Olive Oil: used as a base ingredient due to its deeply moisturising and nourishing properties. It can help to soften the skin texture, hold moisture and nourish without interfering with natural skin functions.

Vegetable Oil: The fatty acids in vegetable oil help clean dirt and grime whilst being gentle on the skin and preventing dryness. They contribute to a rich lather and add firmness to the bar of soap, making it last longer.

Coconut Oil: helps create a wonderful cleansing, hard bar of soap that produces a fluffy lather with stable bubbles. It is light, non-greasy and resistant to spoiling.

Castor and Apricot Kernel Oils: These gentle oils create a creamy, stable lather. They moisturise and highly condition your skin by attracting and retaining the moisture – they can do this because of the high content of vitamins A, C and E.
