Superfatted 15.5%.

Olive Oil, Goat Milk and Castor Oil

• Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil — Olive oil has centuries of history in Mediterranean soapmaking. Moreover, its oleic-rich fatty-acid profile contributes mild, conditioning qualities and smooth lather. Therefore, it provides a creamy foundation for this richly superfatted formula.
• Fresh Goat Milk — Goat milk contributes natural milk fats, proteins, lactose, vitamins, and minerals. Additionally, its natural sugars support lather development. Meanwhile, its fats add creamy richness and contribute to the luxurious character of the finished soap.
• Organic Castor Oil — Castor oil contains unusually high concentrations of ricinoleic acid. Consequently, soapmakers value it for supporting dense, stable lather. Furthermore, its lather-enhancing qualities complement the creaminess of olive oil, goat milk, and Kombo butter.

Kombo Butter and Karanja Oil

• Unrefined Hand-Processed Kombo Butter — Kombo butter comes from seeds of the African nutmeg tree, Pycnanthus angolensis. Traditionally, communities in parts of West and Central Africa have used the plant and its seed fat for various purposes. Moreover, unrefined Kombo butter has a naturally deep brown color and distinctive earthy aroma.
• Kombo Butter Fatty Acids — Kombo butter contains a distinctive mixture of fatty acids and other naturally occurring compounds. Therefore, it adds unique botanical character to the formula. Additionally, the butter contributes to the dense, rich feel of this highly superfatted bar.
• Karanja Oil — Karanja oil comes from seeds of the Pongamia pinnata tree, also called Millettia pinnata. Traditionally, the tree has held importance in South Asian agricultural and botanical practices. Furthermore, the oil contains oleic and linoleic acids alongside other naturally occurring plant compounds.
• Sodium Hydroxide (Lye) — True soap requires sodium hydroxide for saponification. During this process, lye reacts with fats and oils to create soap. Additionally, the reaction naturally produces glycerin.  There is no lye left after this process.

Essential Oils in Kombo Care Goat Milk Soap

Frankincense and Lavender Essential Oils

• Frankincense Essential Oil — Frankincense provides warm, resinous, woody character with subtle citrus nuances. Historically, frankincense resin has appeared in incense, perfumery, and ceremonial traditions for thousands of years. Consequently, it creates a rich foundation beneath the brighter aromatic ingredients.
• Organic Lavender Essential Oil — Lavender contributes fresh floral notes with clean herbaceous undertones. Moreover, lavender has centuries of traditional use in bathing, perfumery, and aromatic preparations. Here, it creates a smooth transition between cool peppermint and deep frankincense.

Bergamot and Peppermint Essential Oils

• Bergamot Essential Oil — Bergamot offers a distinctive citrus aroma with floral and subtly spicy nuances. Traditionally, perfumers have valued bergamot for its bright yet sophisticated fragrance. Therefore, it lifts the deeper frankincense while complementing lavender.
• Organic Peppermint Essential Oil — Peppermint delivers a crisp, penetrating mint aroma from naturally occurring aromatic compounds, including menthol. Furthermore, peppermint has a long history in aromatic and bathing preparations. Consequently, it gives this fragrance a fresh, invigorating finish.

Goat Milk Benefits in Kombo Care Goat Milk Soap

Fresh goat milk contributes to the exceptionally creamy character of this bar. Moreover, it naturally provides milk fats, proteins, lactose, vitamins, and minerals.

Goat milk fat contains fatty acids including capric, caprylic, lauric, myristic, palmitic, stearic, and oleic acids. However, exact concentrations naturally vary. Together, these fats contribute to the soap’s overall fatty-acid profile and creamy lather.

Additionally, goat milk naturally provides vitamin A and several B vitamins, including riboflavin. It also supplies minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, and zinc.

Meanwhile, lactose and other milk components contribute to lather characteristics. Therefore, goat milk works alongside olive oil, castor oil, Kombo butter, and Karanja oil to create a rich cleansing experience.

Why 15.5% Superfat Makes Kombo Care Different

Superfat refers to the portion of oils and fats beyond the amount the calculated sodium hydroxide can fully saponify.

At 15.5% superfat, this recipe uses substantially less lye than would be required for complete calculated saponification. Consequently, a portion of the formula’s fats and oils remains unsaponified.

Therefore, this high superfat contributes to the bar’s distinctive rich character and creamy feel. It also helps distinguish Kombo Care from more conventionally superfatted soaps.
