How to choose the best Oréra cold-process natural soap? Discover our recommendations!
Looking for the right natural cold-process soap for your skin? Oréra helps you choose from different artisanal formulas based on your skin type, preferences, and desired benefits.
Our natural soaps are handmade using the traditional cold process saponification method. This method preserves the qualities of the oils, butters, and plant ingredients used. The result: gentle, nourishing, and skin-friendly soaps.
Whether you are looking for a soothing, nourishing, purifying, or exfoliating soap, there is a natural soap suitable for your needs.
Essential oils, fragrances, and colorants
Most of our natural soaps contain no added essential oils or fragrances. Each product description clearly indicates whether the soap is suitable for the body, face, or more sensitive skin types.
We do not recommend using soaps containing essential oils on babies or very sensitive skin.
Our soaps do not contain synthetic dyes. Their colors come from clays, plant extracts, spices, or mineral oxides. We have also eliminated micas from our soaps for ethical reasons.
Natural ingredients to look for in cold-process soap
Our natural soaps contain a base of carefully selected oils and butters. Depending on the formula, you might find:
- Olive oil: nourishing and rich in antioxidants.
- Coconut oil: helps produce a generous and cleansing lather.
- Shea butter: nourishing, emollient, and comforting.
- Sunflower oil: soft and light.
To this, we sometimes add oils such as castor, sweet almond, or avocado. Each oil brings its own qualities and contributes to the soap's texture, lather, and comfort of use.
Clays help cleanse and form a creamy lather. Plant extracts, such as aloe, calendula, or lavender, complete the formulas depending on the desired experience.
To remember: the best natural soap is one that matches your skin type, your tolerance to fragrances, and the intended use — face, body, or exfoliation.
Our natural soaps for normal to combination skin
For normal to combination skin, a gentle soap is sought that helps maintain the skin's natural balance without stripping it.
- Goat's milk soap: gentle and creamy.
- Coconut milk soap: pleasant and nourishing.
- Honey soap: comforting and gentle.
- Clay soap: gently cleanses the skin.
Our natural soaps for sensitive skin
For sensitive or easily irritated skin, it is best to choose very gentle, unscented soaps or those formulated with simple ingredients.
- Colloidal oatmeal soap: gentle and comforting.
- Plain soap with no additives: neutral, minimalist, and versatile.
- Goat's milk soap with no additives: creamy and suitable for delicate skin.
Our soaps for combination to oily and blemish-prone skin
For combination to oily or blemish-prone skin, we favor cleansing and balanced soaps, without stripping the skin. It remains important to moisturize the skin after cleansing.
- Clay soap: helps cleanse the skin and absorb excess sebum.
- Soap enriched with vegetable oils: cleanses while preserving skin comfort.
- Gentle formula: avoids an overly drying effect that can increase discomfort.
Our natural exfoliating soaps
An exfoliating soap helps remove dead cells and soften the skin's appearance. Our exfoliating soaps notably contain coffee grounds, poppy seeds, or pink Himalayan salt. We generally recommend using them only on the body.
- Ghassoul and poppy seed soap: exfoliating and invigorating.
- Pink salt soap: texturizing and refreshing.
- Coffee soap: provides toning exfoliation for the body.
At Oréra, we offer natural soaps and artisanal skincare products meticulously crafted from carefully selected raw materials. We keep our packaging simple and minimalist to focus our efforts on formulation, ingredients, and the pleasure of use.
